She used to keep asking me about my past relationships. I always kept it vague. It totally died down until about a year later. A few days ago she asked me about my past girls again. After nagging me a bit I playfully asked if she just wanted an ego boost, she confessed and told me I never compliment/confirm when she says shit to boost her self esteem (Thanks HumanSockPuppet!) Proceed to compliment her about stuff I taught her to do.

In the end, I did reveal a bit of my past, which was that it was mostly nothing serious, and that she is my first serious gf.

My question is, is digging up my past a shit test or a comfort one?
