Blind Dates and Vitiligo

Posted by Vitiligan Princess on August 17, 2011 at 5:24am in Main

Lets say you get hooked up with a blind date, maybe through a friend,  an online dating service, or maybe your mom is just crazy and feels the need to set you up with the whole world... Lets also say that there have been a few phone calls, instant messages, texts or emails between the 2 of you before the actual "date" How would YOU bring up your Vitiligo, or would you even bring it up at all???

    Personally, I would say something early on in a matter of fact way, but letting them know so that you can see how they respond and also so they aren't put in an awkward position later.  "I just don't want you to be surprised" kind of a note.

      I actually had this happen about a week ago. I meet this guy online and we start talking. He asked me for a pic and I decided that I might as well send him the pic of me without makeup. I was very surprised how he reacted. He didn't think anything of it. We are suppose to meet up this weekend so I'm hoping everything works out. I feel regardless whether you tell them now or later they will find out. This is who you are and it takes nothing away from the beautiful person you really are.
