AIBU?

To cancel 1st date because of

30 replies

Jennynero · 16/02/2014 15:29

....... an enormous chin boil!!! I put toothpaste on it last night and it's bigger than ever!

The date is with a lovely guy I've been chatting to for a few days from Match. I know it's really shallow to cancel because of a spot and if he doesn't like me because of it then he's not worth knowing but it's really huge and red. Even copious amounts of concealer couldn't cover this monstrosity!!!

Help

Only teasing jennyn - I hope you had a lovely time and that you he asks again.

SumBex · 17/02/2014 09:26

Glad to hear you went op and that he was a nice guy .

Hope you're not too hungover at work today .

Hi everyone, just got back from the date and he was lovely (sorry I'm quite drunk and abit soppy). He's asked to see me again so maybe it wasn't as bad as I thought after all (it really is huge though). I did the asprin face mask and definitely thinker it helped (along with lots of concealer and wine ).

Nearthewindmill i so wanted to come to the meetup but my eldest son was being horrible (I've posted on the Lone parent board) and I drove to my mums house as I was at my wits end.

Hope you guys arrange a meetup soon as need a good girls night out !

Thanks again everyone for your help tonight

I bet it's not even big

I've felt the same before with inconvenient spots, they feel like they're taking over your face when really they aren't that noticeable

NearTheWindmill · 16/02/2014 23:02

And actually, you could have come out with some mnetters last weekend and where exactly were you?

NearTheWindmill · 16/02/2014 23:02

I bet she's on the date. It would have bothered me 25 years ago; not in the slightest now.

Anyway why didn't anyone ask for a picture of it so we could judge properly.

Sallyingforth · 16/02/2014 22:59

If the date is only going to be influenced by a push-up bra then he's worth missing anyway.

PiperRose · 16/02/2014 20:46

I know (well I hope) you're on your date now, and I hope it went really well. I was just talking about this thread with my dp, he said if anything was going to work it was Ledk's suggestion of the push-up bra. In his words " yep, that'll work, we're simple creatures".

FoxyHarlow123 · 16/02/2014 20:37

I have one of these at the mo and I'd defo cancel if I were going on a first date tonight. Failing that, wear a paper bag over your head. He won't notice!!

TalisaMaegyr · 16/02/2014 19:32

I had a massive coldsore on my first date with DP. We've been together a few years now Hope you're on your date - let's have a loo update!

SaucyJack · 16/02/2014 19:07

Ibuprofen gel!!!!!!! Seriously!!!!!!!!

Ledkr · 16/02/2014 19:04

Wear a push up bra!

Seriously, I'd text him and make a joke out of it so that the "elephant in the room" is at least noted.

SumBex · 16/02/2014 18:48

So what did you decide to do in the end?

Sallyingforth · 16/02/2014 18:10

Do you best to minimise it, but actually mention it to him. Make a joke about how it would pop up before your date, but you were keen to see him anyway. I guarantee he will respect you for it and say how lovely you look anyway.

SumBex · 16/02/2014 17:05

YABU op, it's not even that bad a spot .

He'll be so staggered by your beauty, he won't even notice. Go and have fun! You never know, he could be the one .

hokhoihioh · 16/02/2014 16:58

I'd have to postpone

BitOutOfPractice · 16/02/2014 16:57

monster I loved your last sentence. Great plan and it worked if he is your DP now. Do that OP

Seriously, he won't care!

Go and have fun

Surgical spirit applied on cotton bud, dries 'em up fast.

Thanks for the great advice so far everyone. Great idea monster munch, I'm going to try all the above and if all else fails, I'll move on to plan b (dim lighting and alcohol)

MonsterMunchMe · 16/02/2014 15:44

Put tea tree oil on it. Wait for it to dry then hold an ice cube or Ice pack on it for as long as you can bear. Take ibuprofen.

Mix a tiny bit of Vaseline in with your foundation for your chin to disguise the crust.

I had to do this on first date with DP as I had a massive coldsore. I changed the venue to a dimly lit bar and got him drunk

Leviticus · 16/02/2014 15:39

Ibuprofen to reduce swelling
