Dating advice
So I have read the horror stories on here about what happened when someone had informed their significant other about their alopecia. Since 2008, I have been inflicted with AA and having really done much dating until recently. I have been wearing wigs and sometimes it gets rough and frustrating due to some of the constant pain wigs can create
Well now I find myself in a weird and unfamiliar place. I am currently dating a great guy who seems to be genuinely into me. He has questioned me about whLOveether this is my real hair or weave. I informed him that it is weave (actually a self-made wig...but he has no clue of the difference...lol), but didn't really go into detail as to why I am wearing it. Now I need some advice....how long should I go before I inform him of my AA? Should I say something sooner or later?!?! My nervousness is I don't want to scare him off...because I actually like him...nor do I want to keep something like this from him and not giving him the option to know.
I like us....but I honesty don't know where we are headed!!!! My dilemma is what if I jump the gun and we don't last?!?! Anyone have any advice?

if he really cares about YOU, it shouldn't matter if your head has hair on it or not. If you met him before you got AA, then he ran away, then he is not worth your time. If it scares him away....good bye to him !

Hi I might have the same issue soon, I don't know what I will do, but I would like to think that IF he likes you, this won't scare him whether you have hair or not and will make no difference as its you he's fallen for and not your hair, and if he does run for the hills, then you wouldn't want him in your life anyway, good luck.

I have Alopecia totalis and my mate does not mind at all. When we first met, I made sure that was the first thing I told him even though then it was only Alopecia Areata. My only problem is being that he doesn't mind he wants to see what I look like without my wigs and nobody has seen me without my wigs only my kids. He may have seen me when i forgot to put on or draw in my eyebrows and to me it's embarrassing.

If I had someone who loved me either way, I couldn't care, it's not that big a deal, confidence Is everything, pretend you don't care and nobody else will, nobody thinks a bald man looks odd.

I have Alopecia that started three years ago. I'm 59 & my hair started coming out after the death of one of my beloved sisters. I've been married 40 years and much to my surprise my husband is fine. I'm the one with issues of embarrassment, low self esteem & feelings of no more sex appeal.
