Well, we broke up anyway, so there's a plot twist >.< Ironically, my skin is pretty much clear. Fun times. I'm still really glad for your responses, though! I will take all of this advice if...

Hey I just wanted to say I can completely relate to your post. When I started dating my current boyfriend I was very insecure about my skin. I was terrified for him to see me without makeup. I didn't ...

Haha thanks for your input, everybody! This was actually pretty interesting! I mean, I know I'm not very picky when it comes to other people and that I'd still date a guy with acne, but I'm like...cre...
