Dating Tips If You Has Herpes

The Top Four Dating Tips For Men and Women Who Have Herpes

1) Options

You have two options. One, you can choose to date normally. The only problem is that you will have to disclose your status to the other person. Not doing so is a disservice to the other person. Two, you can date someone from a herpes dating service. That way you both know what you are getting into. You both know you have herpes. You still need to take the right precautions, but at least you know the stats of the other person. You could also decide to take a break from the whole thing (at least for a while).

2) The Talk

You can decide to tell the person right away, especially if the other person does not have it. The only problem is that this might be a deal-breaker. According to many, they would rather know up front. That way neither person wastes the other person's time.

3) The Right Time

You can also wait until you know the person much better. Sex does not have to happen on the first date (regardless of what some men think). Wait until you know that both of you are looking to take things to a more committed level. Then discuss it. He or she might decide to opt-out, but at least you are respecting their life.

4) Their Reaction

This is not just about you. You have to be prepared for their reaction (good or bad). The person might still be interested, but he or she will still have a mental battle inside. Be patient with them. Asking them to make a decision here and now is not going to keep them around. It could turn them off for good.
