I've recently been diagnosed with herpes and was wondering what your experiences have been on your dating life? As an older larger woman I don't have all that many dates. Do men understand women with herpes? Lynda Beavis beavis@sympatico.ca Hi, Just wanted to say welcome to the group. I'm not much of a dater, myself. I have type 1 and of the last few men I dated, one had type 2 and the other two had type 1. ar > I've recently been diagnosed with herpes and was wondering what your > experiences have been on your dating life?

Some of us *prefer* them. Not sure men will ever "understand" women, herpes or no ;-) M2 >lynda.beavis writes: >>Do men understand women with herpes? >Some of us *prefer* them. >Not sure men will ever "understand" women, herpes or no ;-) Truer words were never spake. My life's precept has always been, "With all thy getting, get understanding", but with respect to the aforementioned, I am continually amazed at how much I can't fathom. Herpes I can understand. Mike Yes! Men do (believe it or not) understand women with herpes. Herpes is not necessarily the deal breaker if things don't work out.

Every time that I have gotten involved with anyone, and they want to take the relationship to the next level, I tell them of my condition. The next thing I know,they run in the other direction. It's really hard to meet anyone because there aren't any support groups in my area. I know that herpes is not the worst thing the world but a lot of people regard it as the black plague.

The majority of the people that reguard it this way are those that have herpes with low self esteem.

I live on Vancouver Island,BC. I have decided to just stay away from dating for now. Hopefully when I do meet someone,and he doesn't have herpes, he can see me for me and not what I have. But I'm just going to take time to get to know that person. Sometimes it's hard being alone but I realize that this is just the way it is. M > Thankyou for your note it did help. I'm glad I was able to help even if it just seemed like a little bit of help at the time. > I live on Vancouver > Island,BC. I have decided to just stay away from dating for now. It's not a bad idea to take a break from dating. Take care of YOU and figure out what makes YOU happy. You don't have to be in a relationship in order to feel defined as an individual, ya know? > Hopefully when I do meet someone,and he doesn't have herpes, he can > see me for me and not what I have. Set your sights high and don't settle for anybody just because they are understanding of your condition. It's about what's inside that counts the most and the same thing goes for him. Remember, it's not all about YOUR status only. Be sure and know their status too if and when the time presents itself. Not sure if you had a chance to read this one yet: http://yoshi2me.com/herpes-telling.html > But I'm just going to take time to > get to know that person.

It was hard for me to know if anybody would accept me and I was a single parent on top of having herpes. I know today more than ever that nothing is impossible.
