I am waiting to get a kidney transplant. When should I tell the person who's interested in me? I tend to share this during any first conversation with a potential partner. I just want some feedback. Thanks.

There are pros and cons for either one - telling them up front makes sure that they are not going to be surprised later on and hurt by it. I think that telling them casually in the beginning is the easiest way. I wouldn't be put off by information like that! Any partner that is isn't worth your time anyway.

Absolutely, I would wait. I'm just like you, I like to share things and be up front. But you should wait until they get to know you a little bit. On a first date people are still trying to figure out who you are. You tell them right away, they're going to think of you as that girl who has the kidney problem. If you wait until they know you a bit, they will think of you as the great person you are, who happens to be someone who needs a kidney transplant. They won't do this on purpose, it's just human nature.

well this is a tough question,I guess it would have to depend on if you are dating to just have fun or dating to start a serious relationship. If your only dating to have fun I don't see a need to say.If your out there to start a serious relationship then I would be straight up after the second to third date.You don't want to get serious with someone that might have there own issues and end up breaking your heart but be ware there might be a lot of walkers.Though better now then when you need them to be supportive.That is what I would do,What I have done.The right person won't care and that is the person you want in the long run.Good Luck!

I'd wait for a few dates.
I am even hesitant about taking all my meds at a dinner with a new date.
After you know the person a bit more, then be honest.
That way you know they didn't leave due to the medical probs.
Good luck on getting a new Kidney !

I would tend to go with after a couple of dates, or when you know you have potential. You should develop methods of allowing the subject to come up casually, like when he see you take your meds. That way you don't seem to come on too fast. If any question come up sooner, aways disclose, never hide.
