    Hi~
    So as the title supposes the question is: should I wear glasses to my first date?
    I usually wear glasses and don't like contacts/lenses so much because I couldn't find those that passes me...
    But to wear glasses on fist date... I have pretty heavy glasses because I can't see nothing without them...

    My personal opinion on that is that if you usually wear them you should wear them during the date. You shouldn't have to change yourself just to be liked by someone else.

    Be yourself, stay comfortable, and wear them.
    Just wear some makeup that goes well with your glasses.
    Enjoy your date!

    Yes. If they care, they're probably not someone you want a second date with anyways.

    if you have thick frames, a video I watched recommended minimal cheek makeup and more focus on the eye makeup( like shadow and liner!)

    Completely agree with what everyone else is saying, and sometimes it helps to think from different perspectives. If the person you're about to date had large glasses, would that make you not want to date them?

    Yes wear them.
    Plus, glasses can be cute and some prefers them

    Oh since the whole pandemic and all, im guessing face masks are probably a nessessity too. So wear that too.

    As a kid, I always found girls who wear glasses often look better with them compared to when they might use contacts. I don't think I have a fetish regarding glasses, but I guess I prefer them? And just because glasses are thick doesn't mean they're unsightly. It's not necessarily a negative if you wear glasses to a blind date wiith regards to first impression.

    This right here is why you should go as close to how you normally are. Proclaim: "This is me. Do you have a problem with me?" It's better to find out how the other person thinks about you as soon as possible so you don't waste your time or mental energy on them. If they can't even be friends first, why would they be more to you later? Don't let yourself commit to them before finding out they're not as accepting as you thought. Piling on anxiety while pushing off the eventual drama and hurt feelings won't do you any good.

    It seems like you are insecure about wearing your glasses.
    However, I think that you should wear the glasses as they are necessary for you to see. Also I don’t think wearing glasses will affect your chances of finding a partner and if it does… then oh well, they don’t deserve you.

    Please wear your glasses. If you yourself feel like wearing glasses make you unattractive, then you have o probably go to counselling or something. Trust me, especially for a first date, it's not a selection rule. It's an elimination rule. Look to eliminate people rather than to select them.

    Don't wear your glasses.

    Explain later when you do wear glasses that you wanted to make a good first impression even though your vision is terrible. Mega cute.

    Personally, I’ve always been a sucker for a woman in glasses. I’m with everyone. Wear what you normally wear. Their going to find out sooner or later. Might as well get it over with from the beginning.
    Still if I were you and I wanted to make a great impression. I’d probably wear the contacts, but that doesn’t change what I said earlier. Your going to have to tell them, but maybe wait until the third date.
    Good luck

    They know that I wear glasses. And I don't feel insecure with my glasses. I often joke that I wear glasses because I read too much. ;D
    But I thought how will it impact on first impression and something like that...

    Personally , as a person who wears glasses and above that having myopic eyes, I suggest wear whatever feels comfortable for you..... sometimes specs can minus your beauty point but if you dress well maybe.....you can earn the jackpot!
    Well face also acts as a catalyst in dating ( if any of you denies that , you will face my karate chop ) , be yourself tho !
    Good luck<3


    P.s- Nuf nowadays have become a love advice site naurrr LoL


    Edit:- Read the above comments, you see it's not feeling 'unattractive' I am sure OP doesn't feels that way, it's sometimes the urge of a person to look great ( I have such impulse too )

    Plus wdym by tell them later? These are specs not an ex whom I dumped before coming to the date :v
