DEAR ABBY: When I was about 21, I was date-raped, and it took me several years to get myself sorted out. This was my first time, and it is only now that I'm finally at a point where I can trust a man again and want to have sex.
My problem is, I don't know if I should tell my boyfriend about what happened to me years ago, and that he will be the first person I have ever really made love with. What do you think? -- ANONY-MISS
DEAR ANONY-MISS: I think it's very important that you tell him exactly what you have told me -- and the sooner the better.
