i can see how "aw that's so sweet" doesn't feel very empowering when yr on the receiving end, esp. if you want them to be thinking THAT IS SO HOTT (but surely these sometimes coincide anyway?)

Also, if I drink booze, after one or two, my cheeks get a little rosy, but thats because of the "Asian Glow"... I'm not drunk or anything, it just gets that way.

i definitely have a love/hate relationship with it. i'm delighted to hear that it's a cute thing, but i do hate it because it just screams, "OHMIGOD I *HEART* YOU!* at the same time, the whole blushing/giggling like a nerd thing is what makes crushing so delightful!

These days I blush all the time in social & academic situations - especially ones that involve my L0V3R coz he is now also my teacher! It is quite humiliating and I'm sure it makes me appear lacking in confidence and timid around him (which maybe I am a bit coz it's rare that he doesn't find fault in what I've said or the way I've said it or the reason I've said it) - which is all kind of good coz it makes me shup up for a bit whereas I usually talk way too much and most of what I say is irrelevent shit.

I have a crush on one of my lecturers and I went into his office and asked him a question and just went bright red. Great. Pity I found one of his articles on the interweb entitled 'Why abortion is a crime against humanity.'
― bingolola, Thursday, 24 July 2008 14:33 (seventeen years ago)
i fucking hate blushing. but i don't blush in a cute way, my whole face turns red and my ears get burning hot. lately i have been getting this every single day at the same time and it SUCKS.
― bell_labs, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 15:27 (seventeen years ago)
does ian make u blush
― cutty, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 15:32 (seventeen years ago)
I hate blushing. I don't do it a lot and I'm black and mainly surrounded by white folks, most of the time, it rarely gets spotted. But I know it's happening!
I'm a 387 year old male ffs! There shouldn't be anything left for me to be blushing at!
Anyway blushing on women = way cute. Even when they've got such insanely pale skin; so that when they blush they look as though they're about to explode.
― Stone Monkey, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 15:39 (seventeen years ago)
387? wow! I know I've been around for a bit but that's ridiculous.
For the record "38 year old."
― Stone Monkey, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 15:40 (seventeen years ago)
my blushing doesn't happen when i'm embarrassed - it's weird. it just happens around the same time every day.
― bell_labs, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 15:43 (seventeen years ago)
maybe it is rosacea?
― cutty, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 15:44 (seventeen years ago)
my dermatologist doesn't think so, but that's what i thought originally
― bell_labs, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 15:46 (seventeen years ago)
Is it...a while after lunch? My body temp fluctuates a lot during the day, often in regular patterns. After my stomach is filled with food I get colder for a little bit (presumably while blood floods to stomach) and then suddenly very warm as the calories hit my cells. Sometimes involves flushing.
― Laurel, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 15:54 (seventeen years ago)
yeah - it's in the early evening, from 4-7 that it happens, and i eat lunch around 1 usually.
― bell_labs, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 15:56 (seventeen years ago)
Blushing is always really cute on women, not sure what the consensus is for men (seemed to be some conflict here). I'm not sure if I actually turn red but I get all bashful too easily. Any time a band I'm in plays a set I have to brace myself afterward because whether the response is good or bad I'm gonna get all 'must hide' no matter what.
― RabiesAngentleman, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 16:01 (seventeen years ago)
I just blushed at a completely inopportune moment last week and I'm still feeling embarrassed about it.
Situation: (Background: I am teacher at a community college) I reserved a computer cart for my class, and when it wheeled down the hall it made this sound, like SQUEEEEEEEEEEAK squeak squeak SQUEEEEEEEEEEAK. It sounded like a group of monkeys were laughing. So I returned the cart to the dudes in the tech center and, as the cart was squeaking when I wheeled it in the door, I told them that the monkeys had stopped laughing at me. Not surprisingly, they didn't get it and thought I was nuts. I explained, recreating the squeaking sound with my own voice to show them how weird it was.
Then the tech dude was like "Why are you blushing? You're blushing. Are you embarrassed?"
Uh, now I am! Then he said that my face matched my skirt (was wearing a red skirt) and I fumbled my way out of there. Worst part? I have to go back.
― La Lechera, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 16:02 (seventeen years ago)
blushing is NOT cute on me. it would be cute if it were just my cheeks but it is NOT cute when it is across the bridge of my nose, my ears, etc
― bell_labs, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 16:04 (seventeen years ago)
I bet it's cute
― RabiesAngentleman, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 16:07 (seventeen years ago)

i blush both randomly and not-randomly and sometimes all over my face and sometimes just cheeks but i feel yr pain, b but yeah i have rosacea (but fairly under control, not ever-present blush or anything) - i have met one dermatologist and one gen practitioner ever who actually understood that rosacea manifests differently in dif people and can be related to food/exercise reactions so basically whatever medical science
― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 16:14 (seventeen years ago)
A couple of weeks ago I accidentally embarrassed someone else and she was wearing a strapless dress and actually blushed all the way down into her shoulders. It was...dare I say....kind of hot?
― Laurel, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 16:16 (seventeen years ago)

i felt totally ashamed when i blushed in front of tech dude, which made me blush more. i think he's a student! (not my student, but a student nonetheless)
― La Lechera, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 16:21 (seventeen years ago)
If you have dimples when you blush its EXTRA CUTE but rarely hot. I think that it can be hot depending on 'the kind of blush'. so how about those drunk koreans
-- Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 17:10 (10 minutes ago) Bookmark Link HA. Is rosacea the same as blushing/a more intense blush or is that a skin condition?

skin condition

i mean, the mass-produced leaflet my derm gave me mentioned food/exercise, and so do most of the web sites i've looked at.
― lauren, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 16:30 (seventeen years ago)
yeah i know! but hey maybe all the docs i've seen were more concerned with skin cancer than other things, i don't know hey
― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 16:32 (seventeen years ago)
my tendency to blush often has tapered off as i've gotten older, but due to rosacea i get super beet-red during exercise and stay that way for at least half an hour after finishing.
― lauren, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 16:34 (seventeen years ago)
both my gp and derm ruled out rosacea because i don't have the acne, but i kind of suspect that i might just have an early stage of it, from what i've read about it. do the rosacea medications actually treat the flushing itself, or just the acne?
― bell_labs, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 16:35 (seventeen years ago)
