I put after only because I only dated one guy (also married), and I had my first seizure after we had been dating for a while. These days, when I meet no people, I usually tell them sometime within either the first or second meeting. Usually the first, since somehow driving always seems to come up, and people always ask me why I don't drive.
 
I told my (ex)wife still freaked despite all the info I gave her, and the years between when we started dating, and when I had a seizure three years into the marriage.

I told my (ex)fiance and both times I had a seizure in front of her, she didn't fail me.

I told my fiance, and thankfully, she has not had to experience my having a seizure. But she is fully accepting.
