Would you cancel on a date because your face has a sudden onset of a zit?

Question

Needless to say, I would. I care a frigging lot about my skin. And when my body needs time — I can abandon anything. I come first. One time, I missed exams due to PMS.

No, of course not. A zit is a hormonal thing one cannot control. I've struggled with moderate acne ever since I was 13, and my face is FINALLY clear now. I occasionally break out every now and then, especially if my period is right around the corner.

If I was very insecure about it, I'd cover it up with a concealer, but that would be rare, because I'm not a fan of using makeup. It causes even more acne.

If my date canceled on me because I had a zit, I would be very happy, because I do not want to date a superficial man who expects me to be a picture perfect Barbie doll all the time. I would much rather go on a date with a man who does not care about a small, red bump on MY skin and cares more about me as a person. A zit is not going to make someone unattractive. Most decent people do not place much importance on zits, so do not worry. If someone does, it's THEIR fault, not yours.

No, that's stupid. I'm almost 37 and I STILL get breakouts! Yeah, it sucks, but that's life.

I just wash my face, put on some astringent and acne cream, and go about my way. If it's poppable? Yeah I try to pop it too so it doesn't look too inflamed: sometimes it helps, sometimes it makes it worse! And no, I don't wear makeup either.

Look at it this way: if you wind up dating said person, they're going to eventually see you for who you are: good or bad. You can't hide out everytime you have a little breakout.

No way! You're nuts. When adventure calls, you answer it. The time to act is today, RIGHT NOW! You think you can postpone, but perhaps that would be disastrous. You never know who your crush might bump into at the grocery store, or what kind of mischief your buddies might get up to without you.

Carpe Diem! Besides, what are you some kinda bitch? One little zit and you're gonna throw in the towel and resign yourself to being ugly? What, don't you have any tits? Adapt, improvise, and prevail!

hahaha no I would not do this. When I got married my wife and I sort of made up our own vows. We borrowed heavily from the Bible and other places. There is a passage that sais "I take thee with blemish" And that day my wife had a giant zit on her forehead. So when I said it we almost both started laughing.

It’s superficial. It’s a zit. If my date cancels over a really superficial reason/excuse, that says to me they’re not interested. But if I really like the other person and see a future with them, I’d still go even if the world ends 🤣 . Idc

Hopelessromantic53 · Answer

Um no lol. I wanna see how the guy reacts. It's gonna tell me a lot about him, ya know. A zit is literally normal. And out of my control at that. So what's the point of cancelling something 2 people have been waiting for, just because of a dot on your face lol

Selena1987 · Answer

No
Because may be what I do is misunderstood by him
I mean he may taught I don’t like him or …..
If it can be concealed using concealer or everything, I’ll go with it
If it can’t, I’ll cancel on that and try to illustrate my situation ( I mean you should try he doesn’t misunderstand you)

beebella · Answer

I've been struggling with acne ever since I hit puberty, so one more zit probably isn't going to stop me from going out. 😂

WhereIsMyMind · Answer

Hmm, no. I may be a little self conscious but I wouldn't cancel, I'd just wear makeup.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

I had a crush on a girl with a bad case of acne but she chose this other guy over me cause he was used to hanging out with her.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

Nah would go ahead with it. when I met my Ex’s sister and brother in law, I had been in a fight the night before and had a black eye 🙊 that was our sort of 2nd date.

NotTacocaT6969 · Answer

No.  If he can’t love me with a zit then he doesn‘t deserve me without one. Zits are temporary.  A superficial personality is permanent.

Pudsmucker · Answer

There are concealers that you can use for on your makeup. Life isn't that bad guys understand that we all have blemishes.

TAZERIONA · Answer

No, because I wouldn't be going on a date with someone who I didn't feel comfortable seeing me with a zit or who would care about that.
