" Hey hun, If a guy asks about stretch marks just be honest about it. I'm a guy and i have them (from being tall) and no one has ever been anything but nice about them... In fact most girls i've been with show me theirs after seeing mine so it's nothing you want to be worried about :)

good luck with the dating! "
