response to Tye

this is a response to a recent blog post of a blogger I've read for quite some time now. His post was about lying and how natural it is for everyone and it's how we all work. His point wasn't that lying is good but disclosing little is a very good thing; especially when it comes to dating. My response is this:
why wouldn't you want to know about that person you're seeing, wouldn't you want to know theiur secrets, their history, their life? that's what makes us. disclosing little only prolongs the "getting to know phase"...which may be your piont, it may be that is the only part you like and things beyond that are too much. it is also obvious that you don't want anyone to know you fully...which is a feeling i relate to but at the same time; why keep secrets that will later come as a shock and ruin everything in the end? because you chose to keep it inside? isn't the point of a relationship to know that person fully because you want to be with them? because you want to be the biggest part of their life? I understand not putting it all out on the table on the first date; but if that connection is there then why not further your knowledge of one another? it's just my opinion I know, but i wanted to respond to it because...lying isn't a good thing I don't believe, in any way, shape or form...although we're all guilty I think it's important to try to be honest in all the ways you can be and to make right our outward lies by being straight forward in the end...it's scary to think that someone you like, someone you care about, or someone close to you, isn't at all who they portray themselves to be because they hide so much. It's just my point of view.
