Would a dude feel comfortable dating a person going through a large period of weight loss? Is it too difficult to navigate, or is it not a big issue?

I'm going through a fairly large period of weight loss in order to become healthier, and will most likely continue loosing for another year or two. I already look completely different from my driver's license photo, and don't have many current photos of myself ( not that ai had a ton to begin with). I've never really been confident enough to date, and I would like to start but don't know if I should wait until I reach a stable weight or if it's fine to meet people now. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

It's not about the DUDE. It's about YOU, primarily. How do YOU feel about it? Do you have a therapist for support?

The most important thing about weight loss or weight, period, is that you accept yourself WHERE YOU ARE. If you feel attractive and ready to venture out, then try it. See where it goes. Dont reveal anything TOO personal if it's only a few weeks into dating. You might discover a particular person isn't for you.

I think the best idea is to be flexible. And be prepared for acceptance AND rejection from others. This is why therapeutic support is so essential. The acceptance and rejection may have very little to do with your weight and more with your personality and theirs and how the two mesh.

That's what relationships are all about. Take baby steps and build your confidence brick by brick! GOOD LUCK and kisses!!!

Try finding one who is either also on a similar journey or makes an effort to eat healthy as well. It's not fun if one partner is having salad and the other is eating McDonald's.

Go for it. Individual perception and assessment applies. Hopefully, it will work out for you.

Usually they both lose or gain weight in correlation. Just by lifestyle change.

I think enough guys would be cool with that for you to find one you’d like to go out with

Some will be ok with it
