Everyone holds back to a certain degree while testing the waters with a new potential love interest on a first date, but some are keeping bigger secrets than others.

People from around the world have taken to the anonymous secret sharing app Whisper to share the truths about themselves they don't dare reveal when they first meet someone they like.

One woman said that she wants to be honest, but is constantly torn over discussing her infertility, while another doesn't like to admit she's visually impaired.

Another said they don't reveal how rich they are until a few dates in and often choose a budget venue for the meeting to check the other person isn't superficial.

From past history with drugs to a previous job as a stripper, these are the kind of secrets your next first date could be harbouring.
