Colleen, I respect your honesty, but I advise you to wait. I've written a newspaper column on this topic that addresses your question. It's unfortunate, but in this age 50-plus dating world, expecting people to accept you for who you are before they know you, often doesn't work. If you get to the second or third-date stage and you like the person, then talk to them about it. Don't wait too long; you don't want to get too involved and then have somebody leave.
