Ok, I have a scenario.

Statistics show 1 out of 4 people have it. I have it.. It speaks highly of your dates character that she told you early on. Its not a deadly std, more like an inconvenience so it's entirely up to you on how you wish to proceed. There are also dating sites geared towards people with varioys std's, your date may wanna go that route in the future.

I'd thank them for their honesty but say goodbye.

I don't want herpes 😬 I don't think it's impolite to offer friendship at that point but also thank them for being upfront.

I cant imagine what i would do or say. I never had experienced that. I know tho there are diff levels of herpes. I want to be honest ,if its a contagious thing ... then i would ease away , but not stop talking. Hope that they can clear it up

It depends how big of a deal you think it is. If I understand it correctly. Herpes stays in the system but the symptoms come and go in periods. It's not dangerous like HIV.

With communication and maybe some type of gel or pills you can ease the symptoms /make them go away faster.

If I meet the man in my life, him having blemishes on his penis or mouth once every third month is not stopping me no.

As long as you couole up and commit long term and don't sleep/ make out with random side pieces and spread the desease I think it's ok.

Ion know if herepes contagious but im not tryna get that so we can be friends js keep a small distance between us 🙅‍♀️

I'd be like ...well ..nice knowing you but ...bye ...I don't want herpes ...no one is worth that .

dude ur just down bad if u go out with someone who has herpes. im guessing it gets rough in old age but honestly , thats literally disease, theres definitely other women out there, no chemistry is worth it

I don't have herpes & don't want it. I'm sure you feel the same. But, if you do have herpes go for it.
