    For many people, after they start dating someone, they wait to see if the relationship is going to be a long term one before they tell people.

    How long do you wait?
    Are there certain people you might tell sooner or later?

    Hmm, I personally don't do that. I tell my closest friends first that I'm dating someone. Other people that I'm not that close with, I don't really tell them unless they ask me or bring up the topic or if they see me with my g/f.

    Well i'm the type to talk about a potential relationship with most of my close friends, so they would know if something long term happened. With others, I don't really tell them, they can find out themselves.

    ^haha. what if u don't have facebook?

    anyways, rini, if u really need to know, shouldn't u ask ur significant other? ask them where u guys are in the relationship and then go from there.

    Well the question came up, because I was asking this different, but similar question to some friends. What would happen if two of your friends were dating, but didn't tell you about it, even if you asked them

    and both people were like "i'd be mad, cause they have been lying to me"
    one of them even said "it's like your playing them, messing with their mind, by playing tricks on them"

    My closest friends I will tell immediately... or I'll show it them or something like that... The others... if they ask me... I'll answer the truth... and if they see it... it's clear enough I guess haha

    who else needs to rele know anyway. u shouldn't need to make an effect to tell ppl. tell them only when they ask otherwise it may seem like ur boasting and tbh i don't think they usually care anyway.
