Dear Dating Doyenne,

I have been sleeping/seeing this younger guy for about 8 months. He was supposed to be a one night stand, but he called to hang out again... and again... and again. Here I sit 8 months later with a huge delima! The night I met him, I had been intoxicated and decided that since he's 6 yrs my younger and never thought I’d see him again, I would lure him to bed with a accent. I told him I moved to the US at 17 and have been sporting a brogue ever since! He’s met my friends (they also thought he was the flavor of the week, so they went along with it) he is new to the area, so those friends he has made I have also met. So now, I am starting to like him and our original arrangement of “don’t ask don’t tell” what you do when not with each other won’t work for me anymore. So I want to ask him to be monogamous, I know he has a lot of life to live and this relationship has an expiration date, I just don’t know when it is, however in the meantime would like to enjoy it while I can, but I feel terrible asking for him to be only with me while still living this lie.
Help!

Egads! You've got a real dilemma! You've got to come clean with this chap! Have your friends been covering for you or something? How did you ever keep speaking with a consistent brogue the entire time you've spent with him? That is a real talent! But you can't keep up this facade forever. You need to tell him, then explain that you thought he was the garcon du jour.
