Dating : This is f**ed. I’m getting girls to say yes to me for dates but…
But I have breakouts. Acne. And I keep on having to cancel.
I make plans because I think I can apply cream and drink water and it’ll disappear by the next day but it doesn’t.
So I’m having to bail on these girls and it’s really screwing me up. Cause they are so cute and interesting and I’m sure some other guy would have made a move while I sit here worrying about my face.
What do you do? (It’s not teen hormonal pimples as I’m in my 20s)
Like the pimples are literally on my forehead and lips etc. should I just man up and still go?
if it goes bad I can blame it on the pimples lol.
Just see a dermatologist. They’ll have you cleared up quickly.
Do they not know you have acne when they say yes to going out with you? I’m a 28F with hormonal acne (currently trying a new medication to treat it), so I know how you feel! But if these girls know what you look like ahead of time, chances are they don’t care so much about acne!
Quit cancelling. Isn’t going with a chance of her not caring better than cancelling and making yourself a flake and ruining it from the start?
Go to a dermatologist in the meantime. But really, who cares about that stuff?
You have to own up to it and accept it for now. How old are you? I had acne for a while and after a few years it eventually cleared. You said you using cream and drinking water and actively trying to take care of it. If they hold that against you its honestly a dodged bullet.
Look at different soaps. I switched to a natural soap for face and body and its helps the most. Look up dr.squatch. Its mens soap and body products with all natural shit. Most of those major products are expensive with chemicals in them that do more harm then good in some situations. or i found this super cute girl at a local farmers market that makes her own natural soap and i been using that for a few months. And its keeping my skin really clean.
But biggest thing is owning it and having confidence to go through with the date despite this. DONT BE FOOLED BY WHAT YOU READ HERE AND ONLINE BY WHAT SEEMS LIL A MAJORITY!
WOMEN WANT MORE THEN LOOKS! CONFIDENCE AND HOLDING YOURSELF UP ARE MUCH BIGGER FACTORS THEN HOW YOUR FACE LOOKS!
