My question is, when do I tell him I'm on disability? I want him to know. Mainly, so that if it's a deal breaker for him, we can get it over with, and maybe then be friends or go our separate ways. I have so far told him that I am able to not work right now, so I'm not working. And that I'm exploring my interests, and looking for a place to volunteer and work in the meantime. All true! He just doesn't know the mental health disability part. But I mean, this is just dating. But I actually find myself really liking him, and I think I want to be real.

When do I tell him?
You know, the guy I'm currently seeing, also from OKC, lolz, and I met online around my bday and I don't think he texted me happy b-day. We had only been communicating online so I didn't think anything of it. So I'm glad you let that pass. Until you meet in person, all bets are off. IMO.
