    Ok, so I have a date tomorrow, it's my second with this girl, but I went out last night, and ended up going home with another girl, who, despite me telling her of my strict no hickey policy ended up giving me one. So I need to get rid of this as soon as possible, I've been trying the toothpaste thing, but to no avail. Any ideas?

    Use a vacuum cleaner to remove it.

    I remember hearing that vinegar was a cure - never tried it though. I reckon the only cure is time. If it's only red then it should be ok in 24 hours or so. If its any more 'vigorous' then you may have a wee problem.............

    Postpone the date - work thing/family emergency/broken leg etc. It will have to run its usual 2-3 day course and not much will shorten that period :o

    I don't live at home... that's the main problem with the above.

    Oh forgot to mention, I don't have access to make-up either.

    Agreed theres nothing you can say to get out of this, just be well over apologetic, **** happen's don't feel bad over it and tell the 1st girl the hickey's aren't on
    I ****ing hate them ...It feels like being branded

    amateur, if only you'd outlined the terms in a signed written agreement

    Give yourself a black eye and say you got jumped the other night.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,922 ✭✭✭Dave


    I might just wear a scarf! I don't really want to postpone, we're both pretty busy so it's hard to meet up as it is. The last date was 2 and half weeks ago.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭Kinetic^


    Also, do you tell all your dates that you don't want hickeys when you go home with them? :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,922 ✭✭✭Dave


    Last night wasn't a date, it was just a randomer, and yeah I tend to mention subtly about not giving hickeys, if I'm with a randomer, but I was a bit more than subtle last night, and yet here I am. :(

    Arinca cream works well a chemist will have it and also pop to the make up counter and ask about concealer they will sort you out with something.

    if i remember a coating of toothpaste and the back of a cold tea spoon was the way to go...

    (never actually worked though)

    You are are only going for your second date with this girl. It isn't like you're going out or anything.

    So what.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,922 ✭✭✭Dave


    Yeah I know, but at the same time I do like this girl, and it wouldn't be giving the best impression.

    "Hey Dave, what happened your neck"
    "Oh I rode some randomer on monday night, and she gave me a hickey"
    "Haha that's funny,so when do you want do you want to meet up again"

    I don't think it works like that :)

    Get a pair of thick rimmed glassess, wear all black, get a load of crappy music.

    then take a razor and cut yourself where the hicky is. only a small cut is needed. but bigger is always better

    then put a plaster over it and if she asks about it start talking about the futiliy of life and how your overpowered by your own sensitivity within a world of insensitivity.


    wont garuntee a third date, but it will ensure she will never find(believe) the hickey.

    Aww sh*t! i did that to a guy a couple of weeks back, I nailed him with a shot to the neck...It actually does look like a hickey.


    If you want I can get someone on the Dublin reapers to cover for you and say you were with them last friday at their training and got a shot to the neck.

    Take a bootlace, preferebly a good thick one from football boots or something, and soak it in vinegar for half an hour or so.
    Then slap the top of your knob with it 50 times whilst chanting 'stop telling me what to do, stop telling me what to do' at the top of your voice. You'll never get a hickey from a girl while chasing another girl again.
