Okay, so, you ask a girl out on a date and are excited for the special day. However, when the day comes you’re thrown off entirely as she shows up wearing eyeglasses. It wouldn’t have been a big deal, but you didn’t realize she had blurry vision and needed to wear them! Yes, she must have been wearing contacts before. Here are some eye care tips on how to respond when you see her in glasses, rather than contacts, for the first time.
Give Her a Compliment
Chances are that she realizes this is the first time you are seeing her in the glasses. I know that when I’m interested in a guy, I always tend to take time with my appearance around him and would remember whether I chose to wear my contacts or glasses previously. She may be self-conscious about the eyewear around you and wonder how you’ll respond. The best reaction is to give her a compliment.
Offering a kind word to her about the eyewear will set her at ease on the date and even make her feel more confident. The result is she is more likely to act like herself than before the compliment, which is the person you really want to get to know anyways. If you’re not sure what to say, try a phrase like, “Wow, those glasses are really cute on you,” or “Hey, I didn’t know you wore glasses. They look great!” The main point is to be positive in your words, to get the date off to a good start.
Be Careful Not to knock off the Glasses
Yes. It could wind up being a disaster of a date if you knock her glasses off her face and they fall to the ground. The frames could bend out of shape, and the lenses could break or chip. Instead, if your date is sports-oriented, such as playing basketball for the afternoon, be mindful of not knocking her, even in a playful way. You don’t want to cause any problems with expensive glasses. Eye care is not something to play around with, and she needs her full vision to have fun on this date.
The best reaction is to give her a compliment.
Also, if you lean in for a first kiss, keep in mind that you might knock the glasses a bit then too. If you’re worried about the eyewear getting in the way, give her a hint that the kiss is coming by asking her if it would be okay to kiss her. If she agrees, she may remove the glasses herself. If not, you can always ask her if it would be okay to remove the glasses before the kiss. However, keep in mind her vision may be a little blurry during the romantic moment when the eyewear is removed from her face.
Mutually Plan Future Dates to Help Her with Eye Care
As the date comes to an end, if it went well and you want to see her again, then plan ahead for where the next date will be. Keep in mind that the date type or location can affect whether she wears her glasses or her contacts. If it is a date at the local pool, for example, she may prefer to wear her contacts rather than look at you from behind glasses that have water spots all over them.
When you decide on the future date locations together, she can plan ahead for which eyewear to use, and she makes sure to have proper eye care in place. Plus, it’s fun to plan dates together and do things you both enjoy! Hey, and now she’ll keep you on your toes as you won’t always know which look she’ll be sporting around you. If the dates continue to go well, though, you’re bound to enjoy the way she looks every time you see her, whether she has her contacts or glasses on!

Honestly I like glasses generally speaking (some girls look hot with them others not)
Why would seeing them be a big deal?
