frustrations

As for me, I'm 25 years old and have had alopecia since I was 9. I've been single my whole life, never had a boyfriend. It kind of makes me upset that I have friends and family who just assume I am never gonna meet someone because of alopecia. My parents even joke that if they want a grandchild, its gonna be a test tube baby. I just wish I could find someone who loves me for me, and prove everyone wrong. I'm a good person and I deserve to be loved....right?

Hi Jaime,
I understand how you feel. I've had AU since I was 26 and now at 33 I'm beginning to embrace it. I started trying dating sites again and actually posted pictures with just a scarf on my head --- I'm done hiding. I'm definitely getting WAY fewer responses than I did prior to loosing my hair but I'm ok with it. After all, it only takes 1 - right? And like others have mentioned, I'm removing all expectations. I'm just putting myself out there and I'll see what happens. If I meet someone I like - great... if not, well then it isn't meant for me. I'm becoming ok with the idea that we aren't all meant to be in a relationship and that being in one doesn't define us as human beings. In addition to that, I have also found the amazing power of connecting with others that share your struggle... I think the suggestion to head to the NAAF conference is a very good one. I wish you the best -- keep your beautiful bald head up!

Hey colleen

I am dating online too. I never thought of putting one with my head scarf on. I am too chicken. Do guys ask you about it? Do you wear wigs?
