Acne and dating

LegacyUser

Hi,

I'm hoping some of the ladies can help me out with this question. I'm a tall, good-looking, really nice, genuine guy, but I have a little bit of acne on my face, two or three small spots at most, probably nothing very serious by most standards, but I'm a little bit self-conscious about it nonetheless. There's this really cute (and seemingly shy) girl I've liked for a while, and I'm pretty sure she likes me too, but I'm slightly hesitant to make a move as a result of the acne - I really like her, and I'd like nothing more than to talk to her and, given the opportunity, ask her out for coffee. My question is this - assuming you liked a guy, would a little bit of acne put you off accepting his offer? Thanks for your help.

No it wouldn't make any difference what so ever. Go talk to the girl and ask her out.

If a girl says no to being asked out, and the only reason she has for saying no is that you have acne, then she is a total halfwit and not worth wasting any time on tbh.

Not in the slightest.

Us girls aren't immune to acne ourselves, you know!!!

OP hit those spots with toothpaste before you go to bed, and you'll be amazed at the difference in the morning; other fashion tips include blondes should never wear purple and dark stripes are slimming,

'If you ask the girl out she'l say more than u guess. Excess junk food is causing the spots possibly just don't eat too much bad food. It caused me almost suicide acne did. So if you ask her out and she says anything other than yes, remember mate some day you'll be the better man. And you'r game of chasing her to ask her out is a day of dissapointment if she says no but, help is here she's not worth one thing if she calls you rejection your not to get worried.
I'm ur arch mate bud, I know exactly how you feel. I mean mate coffee is bad I drank coffee too and I drank 6 cups a day. so consider that advise.
So just go ask her 1 time. 2 many times is enuf. Coffee is your fondnessl ike me, I used the same trick so do yourself proud mate call her out once only and cut down on coffee. Too much of it harms u. Best of luck mate.'

You know what sucks? Getting to my age, when I've a few wrinkles, and still having acne.

Luckily however, by my age I've copped that there could be a leap possible between the fact that I can find people attractive even if they've a few spots, to concluding that maybe people could find me attractive even if I've a few spots (and the odd wrinkle).

The sooner you make this mental jump, the happier you'll be.

I'm not sure I follow what you're saying - do you mean that she'll say more in a good way or in a bad way?

I talked to a few good female friends about the whole thing lately, and they seem to think everything adds up, so I'm reasonably confident that I'm in with a good chance. If it were a problem for her, I'm sure it would be apparent by now. I've probably just been a bit hard on myself over something small. That said, I agree with you completely, no individual, guy or girl, is worth pursuing if they're going to pass judgement based solely on something which probably isn't a very big deal at the end of the day.

Coffee is your fondness like me, I used the same trick so do yourself proud mate call her out once only and cut down on coffee. Too much of it harms you

It's interesting that you should mention coffee, because I am quite fond of it. Now, I wouldn't drink copious quantities of the stuff, but I'd definitely have two or three cups throughout the day. I gave it up for a few weeks last year with noticeable results all around, might be worth trying it again. On a side note, for the sake of sharing information, I've found small amounts of topically applied benzoyl peroxide very effective at clearing up most things too.

Best of luck mate.

Thanks, I appreciate it!'

'Mate I'm a friend to you and I know you're pain, I've been through it and past it at 22 i'm spot free. You will be lucky to have one mate who understands. And you drive for higher and better and never worry what they think, it's all immaterial they are selfish you think of no.1! from now on. Best of luck mate. I never used anything medication and i went through hell with spots. good luck.

I quit coffee too late though but look at my advise its riddlers experience that you need to know, you're never to be down over it. Best luck with the ladies mate, don't depend on their appraisal all your life it's not worth as much as you think it is. Trust me, I'm 2 million times above self consciousness now.

By the way I quote "I'm not sure I follow what you're saying - do you mean that she'll say more in a good way or in a bad way? unquote.
You need to forget her as a potential girlfriend if she says no once because if you build a house on straw the bad wolf can blow it down and by that if a relationship is build on pity which is possible its based on straw foundation.
If she says no once, leave her be trust me. I've been there and I see all potential routes, nobody gives advice like me, I've been through it. Ok. It's not bad or good, it just a direction and a signpost don't go for 2nd best and don't worry she's a learning experience and example to you, never depend on women! Depend only on you and 1 right is out there trust me. I found my purpose. No bull, I'm a riddle waster but I give good advise mate. Bye.'

If shes rejects you becausse of the acne shes just shallow and not worth it

Call Me Jimmy

Those spots didn't even register with her, trust me. You say you are good looking so just be happy about that and go talk to her, life's too short and all that.
