Hi everyone,

I have a date with a colleague next week (we both work in the mental health sector). The weather is probably going to be nice and warm, so appropriate for t-shirts or tops. The thing is, I used to self-harm, and these old scars are still visible. At work, I obviously hide them, but now that I'm going on a date I'm not sure what to do. I also sweat quite quickly. So should I just wear t-shirts and risk him seeing the scars on our first date? Or is it better to hide them and be weird in my long sleeves (which might also be a sign that I have scars)

NB: I also have a tattoo on my wrist. What if he wants to see this tattoo and then he'll most definitely see my scars

Thanks for your advice!
