Been chatting with a guy for a few days, seems pretty nice. Which is probably the number one quality i'm looking for (long back story, dv etc).

Anyway, we arranged a day for a virtual date, buf not long afterwards he mentiones he had an embarassing minor medical condition. It's not the condition itself, it's the fact that he mentioned it really early on. AIBU to have cold feet?

OP, ask for this to get moved to relationships. You’ll get more replies

He mentioned it earlier on because he wanted to be honest, most likely. If you’re not attracted do not feel obligated to remain talking to him

Ipadipod · 06/06/2020 17:51

You can get cold feet over whatever you like. If it’s put you off and you don’t want to see / talk to him again then don’t.

RuffleCrow · 06/06/2020 17:52

Oops! Not sure how it ended up in s & b! Will try to move!

Probably a spot.
Didbt want to be on cam with a massive boil on the end of his chin lol.

No advice but now I want to know what the embarrassing condition could possibly be...!

RuffleCrow · 06/06/2020 17:55

It's the kind of thing that could have waited at least a few months imo. It wouldn't have been obvious on camera. It's the sort of thing I wouldn't mention to someone i wanted to fancy me. Maybe that's just me.

You have to tell us what it is now. I'm imagining all kinds of stuff....

Soph88888 · 06/06/2020 18:02

Omg what was it? Pls share!!!

Sandleman · 06/06/2020 18:03

Please tell - I’m trying to guess ....

Sandleman · 06/06/2020 18:05

Excessive sweating? Herpes?

Ipadipod · 06/06/2020 18:06

A bent willy

Sandleman · 06/06/2020 18:06

Foot fungus? Verucas?

BikeRunSki · 06/06/2020 18:08

Maybe he mentioned it early on to see if it out you off. Maybe he’s had a lot of relationships stall because of it and he wa t to be clear about it early on.

Ipadipod · 06/06/2020 18:12

Op please put us out of our misery and tell us what it is!

RuffleCrow · 06/06/2020 18:15

I'd love to but i'm a bit worried he might be on here and i'll out myself

Doje · 06/06/2020 18:15

Jeez, you have to tell us!!

I think fair play to him telling you up front, presuming it's IBS or something similar. The longer you leave it, the more you have to get the timing right to bring it up.

Littleshortcake · 06/06/2020 18:16

Well you have to admire his honestly? I would like that about him. But I understand that it should be flirty and not ickky at the start.

Bunnymumy · 06/06/2020 18:17

I vote micro penis!

Unless he was sitting on a donut cause of piles xD

NellMangel · 06/06/2020 18:19

Bless him. It's probably not minor to him and he is self conscious so wanted to address it. I'd give him a chance if hes a nice guy.

RuffleCrow · 06/06/2020 18:20

That's the @Littleshortcake, apart from the ick it's the feeling that i've moved straight from total stranger to partner who has to put up with tmi without any of the good stuff!

OP posts:
Ipadipod · 06/06/2020 18:21

If he is on here Op I think he’d have recognised this anyway.

Bunnymumy · 06/06/2020 18:23

Yeh its rushing closeness which can be a bad sign. He might be another like your ex.

Telling people embarrassing things ect or secrets, is a common abuser tactic to encourage closeness fast. Or to get you to overstate too.

(Plus if it was about his willy then its totally tmi early on).

Tryst your gut.

whatthefuckamigoingtodo · 06/06/2020 18:23

I need to know. He won't be on Mumsnet come on!!!!!

Bunnymumy · 06/06/2020 18:23

*overshare too

Littleshortcake · 06/06/2020 18:23

Yeah. There should be a bit of fun and flirting at this stage. But give him a chance.
