I (22F) got out of a 5 year relationship last year and lately I’ve been wanting to start dating again. My biggest insecurity is my weight though. My birth control caused a lot of weight gain after high school and I’ve been working really hard to get it off… I’ve lost almost 30 pounds since April 1st, but I have about 30 more to go before I get to my goal weight. I’m a size 12.
Anyway, I have a couple of dating profiles online. I have multiple up close selfies of my face and one of me sitting down that clearly shows my body from the waist up, but no complete full body photos.
There’s a guy I’ve been talking to for a few days that’s asked me out and I’m so scared he won’t be attracted to me in person. Should I say ahead of time that I’m overweight or just decline the date all together? I’m so self conscious and I just know it’s going to be really hard on me if we go out and he’s obviously not attracted to me because of the extra pounds.
