Piece of Relationship Advice # 56289

Never Never Never ask the "how many people have you slept with before me" question, because:

a) you will not like the answer no matter what it is

b) your partner will round the number down and you will suspect this and this will lead to you rounding up the number exponentially in your own mind

c) if the number is too big (relatively speaking to what you yourself consider too big) you'll think of them as a slut/manwhore; conversely if the number is too small (again relative) you'll wonder wtf is wrong with them and how long/soon you will find out what that is for yourself

d) you'll get competitve, and be tempted to immediately work towards matching your comparatively small number with their much greater number

e) you'll eventually ask (at a later time, such as right after sex when the logical mind is vulnerable and weak) how you compare or rank and then be grossly dissapointed when he/she says you are only the 2nd best he's/she's ever had

f) all of the above

so if you are truly curious, do yourself a favour: just pick a number between 1 and 100, assume that's the number your partner has been with (or ok if you insist, continue to believe that they were totally celibate before meeting you, The One) make peace with it and move on. Seriously. Insert rolling eyes here.
