Yes, I am (try to be) honest. Mine, too, tells it like it is (or, rather, like it is in my head).

But meeting this way is different than if we had met at a dinner party, say! Then there would be a different view. I think.

It doesn’t mean a different view would be bad – just different.

And regards my blog – I don’t mind who (of my friends) reads it. There’s nothing secret. (Well, not really secret). It’s all still me, after all.

Maybe YOU would see a different person as well

I “see” you through your posts and I like what I see to be honest. Otherwise I wouldn’t read you. Meeting face to face would be a completely different experience because I already have an “idea” of you.

I do think my blog is relevant because is telling of who I am. Perhaps this is why I hide it

And, so, you may see me in a different way than my friends do.

No, I realise that your friends don’t know. I never ‘hide’ my blog and mention it when it’s relevant. Some people say ‘Oh, you have a blog’. Some follow that with requests to read but are soon put off, once they’ve read some. Some people want to read it thinking that I may have said something about them!

But that’s OK. After all, as I’ve always said, this is my blog, with my view of the world I live in and my view may not always correspond with everyone else’s

It would be interesting for you to get to know me outside the blog. Maybe you would see a different person?

I understand and it makes sense.
I read your blog BECAUSE it’s personal but I don’t know you… yet so it’s different.
My closest friends don’t know about my blog.

I mentioned it briefly some time ago, in passing.
I don’t feel it’s right just to mention it for the sake of it – that’s making a ‘big thing’ about it – which I shouldn’t. I mean it’s a big thing to me but not really a big thing in itself.
I would prefer he knows and understands what I write here but I wouldn’t expect him to read it.
I’m glad that you told G as you have had a few problems with people reading your blogs, I know. For me, I don’t really have a problem with it but many people who do know me can’t read it as it is too personal, they say. And, I suppose, sometimes it does read more like a very personal diary.
Some day it’s going to come out and, if it seems right, I will show him some of the stuff I wrote in the past – like thinking this (us) could be something special even before I met him face to face
But no, to answer your question, I have no plans to tell him, exactly.

“God knows what he would think about this blog”

I gather you haven’t touched upon this issue yet. Are you planning to tell him about this blog?
I’m just curious.
There’s nothing wrong to me not to tell “everything”. I’m just curious.
ps. as you know, I told G. about my blog but he doesn’t have the time to read what I write and now I feel confortable with him reading. Few months ago I had a different approach.
