i'm another guy here so if i can just say a few things, first off, we're guys. we can say with maybe 10 words and a handful of grunts what it would take most women 20 min of straight talking to say. in other words keep it simple. just say the basics. if you give most of us too much info upfront you are going to most likely scare him away or cause his brain to more or less shut down for 2 days while he tries to process this. be honest and tell him you have a medical condition. if he asks more tell him, we ask when we are ready to know.
i mean no offense but guys are wired different, just watch a group of guys, epically close friends have a "conversation". the best example of this is when they are working on a project.
