Little story Sugar?
I met my late wife online waaaaaaaaaaay back before Al Gore had invented the "Internet". We decided to meet up. She had asked me what my favorite hair color was, and I said it didn't matter but I guessed I was partial to blondes.

So she gets her hair bleached. Big mistake. I didn't say anything to her about it, but I couldn't figure out how a person could grow straw out of their head.

We hit it off big time and she moved in with me a few months later. Same straw. I mean hair. She decides to go to a stylist and comes back with auburn hair in a boy-cut. The color and style fit her perfectly. And it was soft!!!

Moral of this story. Guys don't even know what they like. Don't worry at all about your hair. Wear a big smile and walk tall. Hair preferences are so far down the list of attractions that it doesn't really count... unless you're growing straw from your scalp. And that wouldn't be a deal breaker either.

Great story, thanks for sharing!

I've tried extensions a few times, but I think they did more harm than good, so I'm just going to try to be patient and hopefully my hair will grow back naturally. Unfortunately, this may take quite a while, so in the meantime, I think I want to stop dating because I feel unattractive.

Can anyone relate or am I just overreacting? I know hair isn't everything and things could be worse, but this situation is really getting me down.
i'm a man of few words - this post is stupid.

Yes you are overreacting but, someone else said it well, if you aren't happy with yourself, you will not attract anyone. Short hair doesn't have anything to do with it. I cut 7 inches off my hair earlier this summer and EVERYONE loves the new look and it's SHORT in back.
Once your confidence is back, you will feel better.

Even with a bad haircut, the O.P. should be able to go out and have a great time with friends. And if a guy wants to date her despite her bad hair, I'd think that she'd be really happy and feel that he likes all of her qualities and not just for her stunning good looks.

After all, let's say that she finally has the perfect hairdo and meets a wonderful guy. What's her next worry? That she might get another bad haircut and then lose his love? Having a bad haircut is NOT a dealbreaker for most people, not unless they are very shallow people.

If a bad haircut has this level of damage on you it may be high time to find deeper things you value about yourself.
