How do I tell my boyfriend to do something about his appearance? (e.g pimples)?
I really, really like him and I don’t regard myself as superficial… there are just certain things that annoy me, because I know he has control of it. Often he isn’t completely clean-shaven, a few rogue hairs sticking out here and there… which really isn’t a good look. He also has awful acne, (which, I know, is hard to control). But he has these two pimples… and god, I don’t know why he won’t pop them. One is just oozing over with pus, it’s yellow and on the verge of bursting. It’s disgusting and rather off-putting when he’s trying to kiss me. How on earth do I say something like “Uh. Can you pop your pimple?”
As for the clean-shaven thing, just say, “You know, I really like it when you are clean-shaven. No stray hairs or anything like that. That is such a good look on you.” Complimenting a person on their looks takes you a long way, particularly if you are sincere about it.
As for the pimples, once the clean-shaven conversation is rolling for a while, just say that you notice he has a bit of acne and ask him if he wants some help with it. Tell him you don’t just be his girlfriend who goes out with him or for just for the sake of him or you having a relationship, but you want to help him in all the areas of his life that you can. Get on the internet and research acne and pimples WITH HIM to find out what the best treatment is. I never had much acne, but I think popping pimples is not the best way to go. If he says he is embarrassed just smile at him and tell him that he doesn’t need to be embarrassed about it with you.
And whether you stay together or break up in the future, never, ever, ever, never mention his acne or any of his secrets to anyone else. He will always respect you for that.
