Tips for First Disclosure

I (28F) plan on making my first disclosure this upcoming Friday. I met someone (26M) a few weeks ago while salsa dancing and we have seen each other in person twice since then and FaceTimed once.

I am going very slow as I went through a break up very recently (from the partner who lied about his status and transmitted it to me). I have been very upfront about my recent breakup, me being a single mom, and upfront about other things I am working on in therapy. He has been very patient, supportive, and understanding about all of it.

Since I am going so slow, I don’t plan on being intimate anytime soon, and I’m estimating a few more weeks of once a week dating before we enter into a relationship, if we enter into one. However, I feel, even though sex is still a bit far into the future, I should disclose soon since we are dating to see where things take us romantically.

We are planning to go out again this Friday, and I’ve decided that that’s when I should disclose. I am absolutely terrified as it will be my first one and I guess I really have no idea how to go about it. Even though I logically know his answer has no bearing on my worth, I still don’t know how I’ll react to a rejection as I’ve never experienced one.

I’ve decided I’m not going to sugarcoat it, but I’m also not going to be apologetic about it as I did nothing wrong. But how do I start and steer this conversation? Do I bring a pamphlet with some facts? Do I tell him my outbreak history (I only had an initial and haven’t had once since)? Do I just tell him as we are leaving for the night and tell him that he can take time to research if he’d like and get back to me?

He seems incredibly emotionally intelligent, so I feel like he most likely will probably be accepting or want some time to research and think about it, but I also have to prepare myself for him saying no as he is well within his right to.

Anyway, any tips you could share or anything you’d like to tell me that may help, I’d love to hear it :) The first time for anything is always the most nerve wracking.

TLDR; first disclosure in a few days, any tips?
