First of all I want to let you know that I have both forms of herpes. I understand the whole emotional roller coaster and the feeling you got when you first found out you had it. Dating for people with herpes is fairly easy, at least for me it is anyway and I want to show you why.
Here is the way I see it.
First of all, you have been through the emotional issues of being diagnosed with herpes. Your brain has been through every scenario about how to approach your date and tell them you have herpes, and how they might react after you tell them.
This is to much stress to deal with and the last think you want to do is increase your stress level because it could very well trigger more frequent herpes outbreaks. So lets take the stress away from having to tell your date you have herpes. Here is how you do it.
First off I want you to know that you are not alone and that 20% off all American adults have some type of STD with herpes being number one STD. Now look at that number, 20% have some type of STD. The number of people being infected is expected to grow every day and there is no decrease in sight in the STD rate now or in the near future.
Herpes is not going to kill anyone if they get infected like some STD's so that alone should emotionally give you a boost. There are herpes forums on places like Yahoo where you can subscribe to emails about the latest get local Herpes Group get together if there is a group in your area. If there is not a group then start one! You will have common ground with everyone at the get together and your stress level should be low. A perfect opportunity to relax, be yourself, and make some friends. Maybe even meet someone special, after all that is what it is all about.
If you see it like I do then dating for people with herpes is not that big of a deal. You know what I have found out? I have belonged to a herpes dating websites for a while and I find the people on the Herpes dating websites are more likely to return your emails, go on a date with you and are just more genuine than normal dating websites.
It's tough enough dealing with the emotional issues of have herpes, that dating for people with herpes should be stress free. Don't you agree?
