We've all been guilty of making mistakes in the past, and some of those need to be left right there - in the past. So here are three secrets that you need to keep to yourself when trying to capture the heart of that special someone. -dewayne rogers

Sharing too much information about yourself and your past will have your date pushing you out the door before you get a chance to tell him your last name. Here are a few things that are better left unsaid. -jamana jamison

Secrets He Should Keep:

1. How many sexual partners you've had. No one wants to know how many sexual partners you've really had, so keep that number to yourself.

2. That your credit score needs some work. Unless she's preparing to spend the rest of her life with you, your credit score is none of her business. Avoid the temptation of letting her know that you ran up enough credit card debt to fund a small third world nation.

3. The way you've cheated in the past. This is a big one. The last thing that she needs to know is that you were a habitual cheater. She'll instantly think that you're doing more of the same with her . which doesn't necessarily promote a trusting relationship. Sharing too much information about yourself and your past will have your date pushing you out the door before you get a chance to tell him your last name. Here are a few things that are better left unsaid.

Secrets She Should Keep:

1. Financial trouble or instability. If your financial struggles include negative checking account balances, major credit card debt, evading student loans and/or filing bankruptcy, keep it to yourself until the two of you are at the beach with sand between your toes on the second day of your honeymoon.

2. Your sexual escapes of the past. Love without a limit may have been your motto in your old college days, but sharing how many sexual escapades you've had is information that should be taken to the grave. The truth shall set you free and so will he.

3. Those not-so-ladylike habits. Telling him about how you bite your toenails or your frequent battle with flatulence after eating dairy products may be a bit too much for him to handle. Continue to maintain your feminine persona until the time is right.
