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?

Thanks South PAW!! (love the name by the way!)
first of all, i'm sorry that your wig hurts. it shouldn't. maybe some adjustment can be made.
second of all, i believe that you should tell the guy after a few dates. if he isn't cool with it, then you aren't too invested. if he leaves, then he is not a great guy and good riddance!!!!!
You should have informed him before your first dating. Some people with AA look better that a lot of people with hair.
I wouldn't tell someone BEFORE dating him. Let him meet you and see what a great person you are, then, if YOU like HIM, tell him. He'll probably already be hooked! Some people would make a snap judgement and skip meeting you just because they don't know or understand about AA. Let them get to know you a little and I doubt it will be an issue.
It's now the elephant in the room. Don't wait for the "right time" as it will never be perfect. Just tell him the next time you are in a quite place. Don't make a huge deal out of it, just say that it has been bugging you that you haven't talked about it and you just want to make sure that he's cool with it. Have a sense of humor and keep it light.
