How can you tactfully tell someone...?

That you want them to have a minor plastic surgery procedure? I know I'm going to get inundated with negative comments directed at me personally and at my inquiry, but I have someone special in my life that I've been with for awhile. The only thing is that I hate this bump on his nose, it gets in the way when I want to kiss him, and I really want him to just shave it down--but he refuses. However, he will do everything else to himself to make himself more attractive (i.e. hair styles, expensive clothes, costly dental procedures, etc.) I am in no way the hottest person alive, and I find problems with myself that I want to fix, but I am wary about it. I understand how he would feel if I brought up the issue saying, "What about getting your nose shaved down a bit?" So, what should I do? Be honest, and don't tell me not to be superficial. It's too idealistic.

Well, you are asking how to tell him you want him to have it done, but in the question you say "I really want him to just shave it down--but he refuses"... so it sounds like you have already asked him and he said no. So maybe you are asking if it's ok to DEMAND he get it done. That would be a NO. What if he demanded you get breast implants at the same time? I respect the way you phrased the question, and I am sure you mean well, but you can't ask him to get rhinoplasty for you. Did you know that persons who get nose jobs often wind up with allergies and sinus problems? There is no such thing as a little operation. If it really troubles you that much, you should get out of the relationship. That bump is just going to look bigger and bigger, and you are probably going to feel more and more resentful. You both deserve better than that. Good luck.
Reply:If it bothers you so much and talking to him doesn't help then you have a choice to make. You can either accept his decision to leave it alone or leave him. Pretty simple.
Reply:It seems like you have already approached the subject and he refused. How much do you truly care for this person if you are not happy with this "flaw"? If the situation were reversed, would you comply or just get bent out of shape for your loved one to tell you that you would be more desirable to me if you made this alteration?
