He message me early this morning, he is handsome & we have things in common already, his name is Christopher. When do I tell him that I have cerebral palsy, aspergers & psoriasis? I'm scared to tell him & that I never dated & the 'v' word.

I would wait until he mentions that he wants to get serious with you.

My general rule for telling people that I'm autistic is waiting until I know each other well enough that they probably won't change their opinion of me. I also tend to mention it in the most casual way possible as if it's not a big deal, although that's probably not the best way to do it. I really don't know what to do in a dating context though because I have only ever dated (<-- note the past tense) one person and she still doesn't know that I'm autistic to this day. That was when I was still sort of in denial about it though.

I waited till I met my boyfriend in real life before I told him of my issues, I met him on a dating site and while we were talking he told be about him being a virgin so mentioning that before you met may be ok. People know what a virgin is but wit things like autism it's better to explain in person

Now. Don't hide such details. If he breaks off now, then you won't have as much emotional energy invested in a relationship as you would if you wait to tell him.

If he stays with you, then he may be a keeper.

Drop this guy.....like a hot potato.

Like I said, most Nigerians aren't like that.

But, unfortunately, there are some Nigerians who are scam artists, and are very good at it, too.

There is no US military base in Nigeria, though I wouldn't be surprised if Special Forces are deployed there because of some kidnappings near the Nigerian oil areas.

A special forces lad would be in a hit and run mission, not on the computer chatting with women.

I know he was bad, but I really like talking to him & I wanted to believe him when he said he was over there for peace & to protect citizens from terrorist.

I should be FWB with a guy, it maybe easier than having a relationship & working hard at it.

I think wait for him to pick up any signs about it before telling him, otherwise it would put pressure on him to be nice to you because of your conditions rather than because he likes you.
