In discussing dating and disclosure, which response aligns with the principle of veracity?

• A. I would recommend waiting until it becomes more serious.
• B. That is a hard question to answer. I am not sure I know the right answer.
• C. You should tell him the truth on the first date so he will know.
• D. You are worried about how to tell your boyfriend you have epilepsy?

Answer: (C)

Veracity is about honesty in communication. In dating, sharing relevant health information respects the other person’s ability to make informed decisions and builds trust from the start. Epilepsy can affect safety and daily planning, so disclosing it early gives your date the necessary context to respond appropriately and decide whether to continue dating with that knowledge. Waiting until things feel more serious or staying vague undermines trust and can cause harm if the truth comes out later. So telling the truth on the first date to ensure he knows aligns with this principle.
