Can you keep a secret?
When I was a freshman in college, two of my friends started dating and decided to keep the relationship a secret. So secret that even when the rest of us got suspicious and asked them about it, they denied the relationship. Eventually, we did crack them, and gloated in the fact that we knew all along.
I can think of a number of reasons why someone may want to keep a relationship secret. They may think their family/friends would disapprove of their choice of partner, they work together or they're really just only in it for a good time, so they figure there's no point in telling anyone else.
I don't know why my friends decided to be secretive about the relationship, and I suppose I never will. But I just think it's better to have the whole thing out in the open. If you're really in love -- or heck, really like the person -- you should want to let others know about him (or her). Don't keep it bottled up inside.
Have you ever kept a relationship secret? Why? Why do you think people choose not to share their relationships?

Reminds me of that series of Friends episodes about Monica and Chandler. I agree with you why keep it secret?
I think it can be a good idea, especially if you are dating within a group of friends.
You want to make sure that things will work out before you make things awkward among your "clique."
If it doesn't work out, you can avoid your friends having to "pick sides."

Having a secret relationship is good when you know that you don't want to be with that person in the long run. It's usually when you are interested in the person only sexually. It's exciting to be at a party and exchange looks with that person knowing what's going to happen when you leave. It was a thrill.
