How do you know when to go public with your relationship?

Cupid’s Advice:

1. You feel comfortable: A relationship is about you and the other person.  Don’t worry about everyone else, and let them know when the both of you are ready:

2. You think it’s going to last: The older we get, the more serious our relationships tend to be.  There’s no sense in alerting the masses if you think it’s just a fling.

3. You’re starting to deny: Once people are starting to figure things out, you’re just wasting your energy hiding something that is going to come out sooner or later.
