I can relate to OP myself as in some situations I experience extreme blushing and it can be very embarrassing (I don't know if it's rosacea or something else, but I imagine it's similar symptoms). It happens in situations where I am stressed and it is very warm. Typically a house party with alcool, heating, and bright lights is the worst scenario for me.
The approach I have taken is to plan my dates outside in the terrace of the bar if it's not too cold. If it's very warm outside, then go inside and sit by the aircon. Basically, as long as it's chilly, the blushing will rarely occur.
Second thing I'd like to add, is that it has gotten a lot better for me over the years, and I never took any medication to control it. I don't think my skin has gotten better, but I have become more confident during dates, and it has a been a while since I last had an embarrassing blushing during a date.
So I'm sure drugs can help on the short term, but on the long term, there's only one way to improve our situation, and it is to confront enough stressful situations to the point where they don't seem stressful at all anymore.
