Dating an identical twin can add a little more complication to an otherwise ordinary relationship, depending on the closeness of the twins and their willingness to play a few pranks on you to make it difficult to tell them apart. And while some parents of twins can barely tell them apart, how will you manage? Or will you become attracted to both twins? Dating a twin can lead to some very awkward moments, to say the least, so here are some handy steps to help your dating experience with a twin run smoothly.
- Don't be afraid to ask your twin date for confirmation of things that have happened between the "two of you" if you're not sure. For example, if your date's twin tries to pick a fight with you or plays a nasty joke on you, and you're worried that it was your date, talk it through.
- It's a good idea to have a talk about the ground rules for information that is confidential about you and your dating relationship. Many twins cross that line without thinking, so drawing attention to it up front can alert your date to topics that you don't want shared with the twin.
