Hi [Name], I've really enjoyed getting to know you over the past [time period]. As things seem to be going well between us, I wanted to bring up something that's important to me. I'm a private person, and I believe that what happens in relationships should stay between the people in them. I've seen situations where things people shared in confidence ended up public, and I'd never want that to happen to either of us. I'd like to suggest we both sign a mutual privacy agreement. It's not about distrust - if I didn't trust you, I wouldn't be pursuing this relationship. It's about establishing clear expectations upfront and protecting both of us. The agreement would simply mean we both commit to keeping personal details, photos, and conversations between us. It goes both ways, so your privacy is protected exactly the same as mine. I know this might seem formal for a personal relationship, but I think it actually makes it easier to be open with each other knowing that openness is protected. Would you be open to discussing this? I can share the document so you can review it, and I'd encourage you to take your time and even have a lawyer look at it if you'd like. Looking forward to talking about this, [Your name]

Hi [Name], I'm enjoying getting to know you, and I hope you're feeling the same. Before we go further, I need to have a conversation about privacy. Because of my [career/public profile/situation], anything about my personal life can become news. I've learned - sometimes painfully - that protecting privacy has to be intentional. I ask everyone I date to sign a confidentiality agreement. I want to be upfront: this is non-negotiable for me. It's not about you specifically; it's about protecting both of us from a media environment that treats personal lives as public property. The agreement is mutual, meaning you get the same protections I do. I cannot share details about you any more than you can share about me. I think that's only fair. I'm attaching the document for your review. Please take time to read it carefully, and I genuinely encourage you to have an attorney review it. I'll cover reasonable legal fees for that review if cost is a concern. If this feels like too much, I completely understand. Not everyone wants to navigate the complications that come with dating someone in my position. No hard feelings either way. If you're comfortable proceeding, let me know and we can discuss any questions you have. Warmly, [Your name]

Hi [Name], I feel like we're at a point where things might become more intimate between us, and I'm excited about that. Before we take that step, I want to talk about something important. I want us both to feel completely safe and protected. That means knowing that whatever happens between us - photos, conversations, intimate moments - stays between us. Always. I've prepared a privacy agreement that covers both of us equally. It says that neither of us will share intimate details, images, or private information about the other. This protects you just as much as it protects me. I know this might feel like an unusual request. But I think having this conversation actually shows we both care about treating each other with respect. It's about creating a space where we can both be vulnerable without worry. I'm attaching the agreement. Please read it when you have time, and let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I'm completely open to discussing and adjusting things to make sure we're both comfortable. This is important to me, but so is making sure you don't feel pressured. Take whatever time you need. [Your name]

Hi [Name], I wanted to check in about the privacy agreement I sent last week. I hope it didn't come across the wrong way - it's really about protecting both of us, not any lack of trust on my part. I realize you might be thinking it over, which is completely fine. If you have questions or concerns, I'd be happy to talk through them. If certain terms don't work for you, let me know - I'm open to discussing adjustments. If you've decided this isn't something you're comfortable with, I respect that too. Just let me know where you're at so we can figure out how to move forward. [Your name]

Hi [Name], I haven't heard back about the privacy agreement, and I'm wondering if something about it bothered you. I'd rather have an honest conversation than have this create awkwardness between us. Some possibilities that might explain the silence: - You're still thinking it over (totally fine) - Something specific in the document concerns you (let's talk about it) - The whole concept feels off to you (I'd understand, but would appreciate knowing) - You forgot about it (happens to all of us) Whatever it is, I'd rather know. If this is a dealbreaker for you, that's important for me to understand. If there are specific changes that would make you comfortable, I want to hear them. Can we talk about this? Even a quick reply letting me know where your head is at would help. [Your name]

Hi [Name], Thank you for bringing this up and for being so thoughtful about it. I actually appreciate that you care about protecting both of our privacy. I've read through the agreement and I'm generally comfortable with it. I do have a few questions I'd like to discuss before signing: 1. [Specific question about a clause or term] 2. [Question about duration or scope] 3. [Any other concerns] I'd also like [X days/to have my lawyer review it] before signing, just to make sure I fully understand everything. I hope that's okay. Let me know when you're available to talk through my questions. [Your name]

Hi [Name], I've reviewed the privacy agreement you sent. I understand your reasons for wanting this, and I'm willing to sign something - but I have concerns about some of the current terms. Here's what I'd like to discuss: [Concern 1]: The current language says [quote problematic section]. I'd be more comfortable if this were changed to [proposed alternative]. [Concern 2]: The [damages/duration/scope] section feels [too broad/too punitive/unclear]. Could we [proposed modification]? I want to find something that works for both of us. These aren't dealbreakers, but they are things I need to address before I can sign comfortably. When can we talk about this? [Your name]

Hi [Name], Thank you for being upfront about wanting a privacy agreement. I've given this serious thought. After consideration, I've decided I'm not comfortable signing this agreement. [Choose one or customize:] - I believe trust in a relationship should be based on mutual understanding rather than legal documents. - The specific terms go further than I'm comfortable with. - Signing legal documents at this stage of a relationship doesn't feel right to me. This isn't about having something to hide - I'm a private person too, and I wouldn't share personal details about any relationship. But formalizing this in a legal agreement isn't something I want to do. I understand if this is a dealbreaker for you, and I respect that boundary. If you'd like to talk about this further, I'm open to that conversation. [Your name]

Hi [Name], I'm really looking forward to us being roommates. Before we move in together, I wanted to have a conversation about privacy. Living together means we'll inevitably see aspects of each other's lives - guests, habits, schedules, work stuff, etc. I think it's important we're both on the same page about keeping what we observe confidential. I've put together a simple privacy agreement covering things like: - Not sharing details about each other's personal lives or visitors - Not posting photos or videos of each other without permission - Keeping overheard conversations confidential - Respecting each other's private spaces and belongings This protects both of us equally. I'm not asking you to agree to anything I'm not also committing to. I'm attaching the document for you to review. Let me know if you have any questions or want to discuss any of the terms. I think this will actually help us both feel more comfortable at home. [Your name]

Hi [Name], As we finalize our separation, I think it's important we establish clear privacy expectations going forward. Whatever happened between us, I believe we both deserve to move on without our personal lives becoming public discussion. I'm proposing a mutual confidentiality agreement covering: - Financial details from our relationship/marriage - Personal information shared during our time together - Details about our separation and any settlement terms - Information about our [children, if applicable] This agreement would bind us both equally. I'm not asking for anything I'm not also committing to. I think this serves both of our interests. It allows us both to maintain our privacy and move forward without worrying about the other person sharing sensitive information. I'm attaching a proposed agreement. I'd recommend you have your attorney review it. If there are terms you'd like to negotiate, I'm open to discussion. [Your name]
