Recently I have come across several cases of emotional slutiness, so I thought now was the perfect time to jump back on the Hubpages horse and write my words of wisdom.

Have you ever started dating someone and found yourself going on and on about your past relationships, life experiences, etc? The term I use for this is "emotional slutiness". Put it all out there right in the beginning. I'm not saying that you should lie about your life, but I think that there are some things that people shouldn't know about you right away. I am probably the worst at keeping it in. I have had many speed bumps in life and sometimes I feel like telling all and letting the person know what they are getting themselves into. Not that I don't think I'm great...because I do (I'm sure that sounded conceited, but oh well). This is the first case of emotional slutiness. Putting yourself out there too soon, giving too much information up front.

If they are worth getting to know, you will. Don't worry about pulling all your demons out, the things that need to be known should be naturally given at an appropriate time.

Here is the second case of emotional slutiness that I have encountered. You know the beginning of a relationship when everything about that person is just..well...SO great. You have these many feelings of romantic euphoria and it messes with your head. You think, wow...I really like this person, I think I love them! While I think it's great that you have those feelings, sometimes it's too soon to say those words. For some those words can be a deal breaker. It's saying, here I am waiting for your serious committment back to me. Some people spend YEARS in relationships where the other person never tells them that they love them. I think this is unhealthy, but you get the idea.

Try to ease into the idea that you really like them, appreciate that feeling. Don't feel that you have to jump in head over feet. Slow down!
