I finally realized, if I was going to come to grips with this, I needed to find out how to live with this. I am more confident now--have dated both men w/ herpes and without. I would say I prefer dating those with, just because it is one less thing hanging over your head. I tried dating men without and found myself spilling my guts almost immediately and most ran--leaving skid marks practically. A couple hung in there, but all in all, when you already share something so personal, it makes it easier to start out with. Stress as you know can cause more outbreaks so I suggest "getting it out" on these message boards or find someone you can count on to talk about the frustrations. I can say I just recently met a wonderful man on pdp1.com’s website (but I won''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t tell his name because I want to keep him to myself). Good things do happen to those that wait and I believe God allows things to happen to us to open our eyes. I think I get it now and have finally met someone that appreciates my honesty and is as upfront as I am, PLUS he makes my heart skip a beat. We''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''ve been dating about 6 weeks and it keeps getting better as our trust is building and we see each other more often. People do need to take risks on here and make a first move. If you don''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t, you''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''ll just be stuck there. Good luck! Sherry O Bemidji, MN, USA
