I've met a guy online and he wants to see me. We both like each other's appearance and personality. BUT! I didn't tell him I have open bite (lack of occlusion of the front teeth when the jaw is closed normally) and that's why I never smile with my teeth showing (not only on pictures but in life either). It is also noticable when I talk. Now I finally have the chance to fix the problem (with braces and a lower jaw surgery). As the first step of the progress i've already had an upper jaw surgery to fix my crowded teeth. But I'm so afraid to see him. I'm obsessed with the thought that he will notice that something is not right with my jaw/teeth and be like "ewww". The only thing that comforts me is that I know It'll be fixed within a year. But until that time should I postpone the date or tell him honestly about my insecurities? Would you ever date a girl who's in my shoes?
