If you are single with genital herpes then you know about the stigma that goes along with it. Although you hear about genital herpes on TV medical shows and read about it in medical journals, it is usually not the topic of discussion among friends.
Having genital herpes can be confusing, upsetting, depressing and can also cause anxiety in some people. When a person first realizes they have genital herpes, many lock themselves away for a while to think about it.
Many single people think that they are no longer desirable as a date or a mate. This may be true to some extent. There are many single people who simply will not date someone that has genital herpes because they do not want to become infected with it.
This is a normal reaction from some people so please do not be offended if your date does not call you back after you tell them about your disease. You really cannot blame a person who is STD free from wanting to date only STD free singles.
You must come to accept that dating with herpes is different from the kind of dating you experienced before you were infected. When you meet someone and go on a date you should not tell someone right off the bat that you have genital herpes. This is something you want to keep private at first. But, you should also not wait to long before you tell your date either.
Let the person get to know you a little and see it there is a spark between the both of you before you tell them. By waiting a little bit to tell your date that you have herpes, you will increase your chances of having a more serious relationship with that person.
