You don’t need to tell a new friend everything in week one. Good friendships come in installments.

Nobody needs your whole history by Friday. Dumping everything early can feel like intimacy, and it usually works the other way, because the other person has not had time to earn any of it and you wake up feeling strangely exposed. Closeness has a natural pace, set by how much each of you has risked so far. Going in order means neither of you gets handed more than you can hold.

Let the next thing you share be one step past the last thing. Notice whether they matched you or just collected it. If they have told you nothing real yet, that is your answer about what to say next.
