Undecided about how much to reveal

I'm unsure as to what to share about myself. Both in a profile and on first meetings, and on dates.

I want to come across as a nice guy, which I am. But I'm sure that we all have things in our past that we really don't want to go over again.

I haven't been convicted of a crime, although I did run a stop sign in 1996, which sent me to traffic school.

I guess one thing I'm afraid of is a point blank question from someone I meet that starts out, 'have you ever . . . '.

I don't want to have anyone play games with me. But I'm not 100% sure what all are games. Sounds dumb I know.

I think of a game as being manipulating someone into doing something by lying, or mis-leading, or guilt, attempting to control.

Do unto others as you would have them do to you seems like a good rule of thumb.

I hope I never forget the lessons learned.

On profiles ... well, you're advertising, you make yourself sound good with standard trite expressions but throw in some creative way of making it look new and different. You don't have to reveal anything...state only the basics (nice guy, likes fishing, nascar, etc) that's about all that's required. On the first meeting...she's checking out your physical appearance and general conversation...don't volunteer anything...just answer questions and talk to her like a friend you've known for many years. Again, don't give too many details and don't pull the skeletons out of your closet...wait until she gets to know you good enough that she can pick up tid bits here and there and you can trust her emotions. Just be relaxed and whatever you do...be honest above all else and never ever lie. It would be better to simply say "I don't want to / can't talk about it" than to lie.
