Hi,
My family relative was exactly like you. She was afraid to get too close to anyone (date anyone seriously) because she didn't want to get let down once they found out she had alopecia. After much convincing though she did agree to go out with this guy who seemed really nice and really liked her. They went out a few times and things were getting really serious. On one of the dates she got so nervous that it was going to get so far and when he would find out he would be disappointed so she decided to tell him right there and then before things got more serious and it would be harder to tell. He realized she was a bit nervous and asked her whats bothering her. She told him all about her alopecia and that she wears a wig. He breathed a sigh of relief and said "You have nothing to be nervous about, I think your beautiful the way you are". They are now happily married and have beautiful children.
It just comes to show that people that can't look past your condition are not worthy of being around you. Don't feel bad about yourself - your beautiful and you should feel that way. Don't be afraid to let anyone in cuz you might lose out on someone really special on the way....

Also, about the wig - I wear a wig too. In the summer I usually keep to a fall wig (a wig that doesn't have any hair in the front) and put a wide head wrap on top to hold it in place and to cover up the part of the wig in the front with no hair.
It's very comfortable and you can even clip it up in the back if it's really hot. Otherwise, I stick to head coverings such as pre-tied bandanas and caps.
I found some really nice ones for this summer season at www.myheadcoverings.com - if your interested in head coverings and stuff totally check it out!
All the best and good luck!

As long as you feel bad about yourself, you are going to project those feeling to others.  If you are off putting to others, they will go away and no longer be your friends.  Or, new people will find you unapproachable and just won't try.  

My partner and I are older, so probably more accepting of health issues and situations.  He didn't hesitate to jump in and help me with whatever I needed:  Help after a knee replacement, support of a diagnosis of granuloma and vitaligo, driving me to doctors appointments, and my latest diagnosis of AA turning to AU.  He kisses me goodnight and gives my bald head a rub before we go to sleep. 

As for wearing wigs in heat, depends on whether you have hair or not.  Unless you have scars everywhere on your head, you might consider a topper instead if a full wig as they're smaller, lighter, cooler, and don't have wefting to itch.  Not sure if you're a male or female, so won't go any further on this topic.

Will not be very hot, and now the advanced wigs use lace technology, comfortable and natural to wear, breathable, and even better than their own hair.
