I have a first date this weekend and I am already thinking about whether there will be hand-holding, a greeting hug, or a table that shows every mark. When do you mention hyperhidrosis without making the whole date about it?
I usually mention it if touch seems likely, but I keep it short: I have a condition that makes my hands sweat, so I may be awkward about holding hands at first.
I vote for simple and early. The right person treats it as information, not a warning label.
In Phoenix heat my face and back start showing first. I wait till it’s obvious and say something short like ‘fair warning, I sweat bad once it hits 90.’ Keeps the focus on the date instead of turning it into a thing.
