Dear Blackman,

I started dating someone that I have known since college. I am attracted to the person and would like to pursue a relationship him. A few years back I slept with one of his best friends. I am not sure if he knows or not. Should I tell him?

-Sarah

The Blackman:

Hi Sarah,

If you are looking to pursue a relationship with this guy then you should tell him. That can be something very crucial in his decision to be in a relationship with you.

Some men are very particular about dealing with a female that has slept with any of his friends, especially if it is really close friend.

If you don’t tell him now it could easily come up later on, and he could have severe trust issues with you assuming that you’re being shady and hiding other stuff.

Another thing to also consider is that he may already know since it is a close friend of his. He may be sitting back waiting to see if you are going to come out and say anything about it. The way you handle that could dictate how he may want to move forward in dating you.

I would be upfront about it. No matter what the result is, it will save a lot of drama.

I hope this helps. Good Luck.

TBM

    You need to go and tell him and stop keeping a secret because it will hurt you in the long run so be a lady and tell him.

    You should tell him. If, it backfires then move to someone else. But. if you did in fact knew this why did you even bother?

    i don’t think it should matter you weren’t with him at the time.

    I agree that telling him would be best. He’d rather know about it from you then from someone else, that might even turn the story around.

    you should tell him to go into the relationship with trust and honesty, if he cant deal with it then he prob wasnt the guy for you. because if u dont tellhim and his boy does he will no longer repesct you and nothing you can really say will earn it back.

    If u woman enough 2 sleep wit him b woman enough 2 tell him the truth..Then on top of that u r very triflin as a woman thats wat deter men from wanting & finding a gud women.He should make his sisters beat ya butt,then again Im just playing but U r a prime example of a woman with no respect 4 yourself..

    TELL HIM HO!

    You should tell him now rather than things get too deep and he finds out elsewhere or you tell him later and it ruins your relationship and both you and him are at a loss. There is nothing to lose by telling him now but later it will be if you lose him and your feelings have grown for him.

    Good comments everyone.

    Relationships should be based off of trust.

    Might as well tell him. I hate when females do trifiling shyt like this.

    In a way it would be helpful to tell the guy because u will be going into the relationship with a clean slate.. but then you have to think “if I tell him will be not be interested in me anymore” Makes ya think huh?

    For all of the women who commented…If the tables were turned do you feel that you would be able to bear the fact of your man sleeping with one of your best friends years before he met you?…Also, how would you feel if you heard it from him before you heard it from your best friend?

    You should tell him but me being a male and knowing how that would affect me,I think he might not sit too well with that.Some men do foul sh#t to their girls but it’s no suprise when a woman does it because females get a kicc out of doing these types of things whether they admit it or not.

    if he a real nigga he gon fuk his boy up and then cut you back, me and my boys got a different rule. if you wanna sleep with any of my friends tell me first before it happens so I can cut her back if she says yes. if you let her cheat one time she gon play you for a sucka your whole life
