So I just got back from a first date with a girl I met online. She had a big surprise for me. She was cross eyed.

Should of figured something was up since she had sunglasses on in all her pics and the ones without sunglasses were from the side. She is very attractive other than the eye issue.

I'm not saying its necessarily a deal breaker because she is pretty hot and the eye problem is not that extreme. Its just kind of goofy looking.

I want to ask her about it! How do I bring it up on the second date? I want to know why she is cross eyed and if/when she plans to fix it.

What would you do?

I'd control my urges to ask awkward, potentially offensive personal questions.

I would not bring up something as personal as someone's strabismus on a second date, and I certainly wouldn't be demanding to know what they plan to do about it. I know a girl who had corrective surgery because she was so bothered by the condition that she had the extraocular muscle clipped and shortened to correct her inward facing eye. She was in recovery for months and endured incredible pain for this. Maybe your date has already looked into what the surgery requires and she chose not to go that route? If you are bothered by her condition you should not ask her for a second date. Having such a visible flaw creates a world of anxiety and stigma, she doesn't need someone who barely just met her to put her on the defensive.

If you are so curious about it, get informed on that issue - go to library, use Google, ask doctor etc. and don't act like a jerk and ask that girl directly.
Don't you know what questions are rude, offensive and inconsiderate?

Yeah, go right ahead, and directly ask her.

That's just one more attractive woman staying in the dating pool.

If it's not a deal breaker, I'd probably wait until you know her better.

I think you shouldn't ask about it even though you are extremely curious. I do not really know how she would take it, but usually a girl would never like anyone asking about their flaws.

This.

If you find her attractive and don't consider it a big deal, then I wouldn't bring it up (at least this early). She's most likely already self-conscious about it as is.

I would not blink an eye with my actions. I am very surprised by your concerns. Are you a guy? Maybe your gay?

My wife is stunning...my point is, like me she is not perfect, her teeth are not perfect and sometimes its noticeable in her smiles. That has never bothered me. Never! Don't let something minor and stupid like crossed eyes impact a potential relationship. It makes no sense at all. Because you will be doing this the rest of your life:smack
