ASK Lady A I never really got into online dating, but a friend finally convinced me to use tinder after my last breakup... just to meet people and get a feel for dating again. I met a guy on there. He was cute kinda funny but after a couple times meeting up I just wasn’t feeling him. About a month later I met a guy at a party and we instantly clicked. We have been dating for almost a month now, but I just found out that he is line brothers with the guy from Tinder!! He wants me to be his date to another line brother’s wedding and the guy from Tinder will be there, what should I do? – Scared to be Candid Dear Scared to be Candid, My first thing to you my dear is never feel ashamed or scared to tell your truth. I would simply explain just as you have addressed it to me in this question. Regardless how deep it got between you and the other dude I would tell the guy you are dating the truth and nothing less. If he really likes you and understands that this was before his time, then you should be okay. Deciding on the closeness of him and his line brother is not for you to determine. Your job is to simply be the girl he is dating. Telling him the truth about his line brother will speak volumes in the end. If he gone leave you girl let him leave you for telling the truth and not holding secrets or telling a lie. You have a chance to narrate the story between you and the other dude so use that to your advantage. I don’t know what to do I just found out that I’m pregnant! I never wanted to have kids and to make matters worse I don’t know if the father is my boyfriend, this guy I met in the club and had a one-night stand with. My boyfriend has always wanted to be a dad and will be over the moon if he finds out and will want to keep it. I was thinking about just saying that I’m going out of town for the weekend and having an abortion. Or should I tell my boyfriend? If I do should I tell him I cheated? Should I tell the other guy? Help!!! – Might be Preggers Dear Might be Preggers, My question back to you is if you know you never wanted kids why didn’t you take precautions to not be in this sit- uation? SMH!!! Now to get to your question, you have to be really careful with this because you have now involved your boyfriend in your chaotic world of MESS! If you love him and you respect him as a person tell him what you did and address the true reasoning behind it. If you are unhappy in the relationship, he needs to know that. As far as telling the other guy, yes you absolutely tell him about the situation if you plan on keep- ing the baby. If you plan to terminate the pregnancy (which is totally your decision and your choice with what you do with your body) you can decide then if it is necessary to alert him of a situation that will no longer be. My strong advice to you would be deal with the reasons of why you are cheating within self and then take better care of your body by using protection and taking birth control so that this won’t happen again if you can help it. This may be the time for you to gain some self-healing and under- standing of what you want out of life. If your end goals don’t align with your boyfriends, then why are you with him? The time has come for you to STOP be- ing selfish be a woman and stand in your truth no matter what the end results are regarding your situation
