Dating and cea

[Guest guest]

Okay, I don't know if this is ethical in this group or not, BUT what

the heck.

Since I found out I had rosacea, I have been a little bit shy about

dating. It is more about my confidence than how I look. People on

the street would never guess that I have rosacea. But, I know my

skin, and it has changed ever so slowly, but surely.

Have there ever been any discussions on here about a dating group by

people with rosacea for people with rosacea. I am talking about more

than a support group. I would really like to meet a man who lives in

my area, understands what I am going through, won't look at me odd

when I have a flare-up...basically have fun, date, party.

With that said, I will cut to the chase.

I am 33-year-old SWF, attractive, intelligent, and athletic. I have

had rosacea for some time now. From what I have read and learned, I

would categorize my condition as moderate to a pain in the butt ;-)

Some days I look like I stuck my nose in a hot, boiling pot of water,

other days...I look like my old self, which I had always considered

attractive.

I live in California and would like to meet a guy in the San

area, close to my age, with the same interests. If not interested in

dating, the more friends I have the better.

I would be more than happy to exchange pictures, actually I prefer

it. I do not care if you have moderate rosacea or advanced rosacea.

But I do ask that only men who are serious write. I also ask that

you DO NOT live in jail, have a rap sheet, kick puppies, or any other

quirk that will make me regret that I got the nerve up to do this.

I know that all cea Support members will get this email and I

truly hope that nobody takes offence to it. My intentions are

definitely NOT to turn THIS support group into a dating service

because I know the wonderful things that this group does for people.

With this group, I have come to terms with this condition. I have

realized that it is what it is, and I can't stay inside anymore and

cry about it (believe me, I have had my share of tears over this).

Okay, anybody interested? Let's exchange email addresses.

Thanks for reading :-)
