    I am a fairly outgoing person, have a good few friends, have no problem meeting women but recently when i meet people i find myself going all red. It even happened in the shop tonight. I recently lost my job so i suppose i feel a bit down at the moment. It wouldnt bother me that much but over christmas i met a really nice girl and we arranged to go out next week. I'm worried that if i meet some of our friends that i will go all red and look foolish. Has anyone got any tips on how to overcome going red, thanks.

    yeah, I have that problem sometimes too. I think that if you go red, you just need to keep talking as if nothing's happening.

    Only thing I can think of is blame it on the cold weather on your cheeks and turning them raw :) good cover I think.

    I hate it too you could be chatting away and all of a sudden you become ultra aware of yourself, everyones eyes on you and what you're saying, you feel the colour start to creep up your neck!

    You will find that if you consistently do this that in say 2 or 3 yrs or even much less you will even forget you are doing it.

    Trust me - as someone who used to (who knows I might still) do this ignoring it is the best thing.
    Also - if some of you friends comment on it - you have to take it as a compliment - not a criticism.
    What turned it around for me was yrs ago in the US an older woman I was chatting to commented on it - started rubbing my cheek and telling me how lovely it looked - her husband looked horrified.
    Same Summer another woman asked me what rouge I used - I'm a guy.... Went down a storm - but really helped break the ice in just meeting different people.

    So - just turn it to the positive it really is.
    I still have strangers just talk to me - my wife can't understand it - but in trying to help you I think I just cracked it. - Cheers.
