Dating With Herpes…

…or in other words: dating.

There are different approaches that people take to their love-lives a

fter THE DIAGNOSIS.

Presumably, some people acquire the virus while with a partner and stay with that partner forever, never needing to brave the dating scene with their HSV-positive status.

Most people with herpes, however, find themselves at some point (sometimes right after THE DIAGNOSIS) in the difficult position of having to pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and figure out how to find love and romance with a giant capital H indelibly stamped on them (well, that’s what it feels like, doesn’t it?!).

In case you are right now in that position, have no fears – there are SO MANY H-people who have felt the same way, have gotten through the pain and can sincerely understand what you are going through.

All over the Internet, articles can be found explaining how you can have ‘the talk’ with uninfected potential partners. OK that’s fine, if you have a bullet-proof ego and can live with the intrinsic stress of the risk that your uninfected partner will one day wake up with that first blister and the whole equation gets changed….

More and more people, though, are availing themselves of herpes dating sites where they can talk to potential partners about things like love, career, family, values, goals, etc., rather than the pros & cons of deliberately exposing oneself to the risk of acquiring an incurable virus.

Right?

So!

What are you waiting for? Have you signed up yet? If you haven’t, then it is time, because everybody wants the same thing: love (and acceptance (OK and sex too!)).

The weather is getting cold – time to break out those gumboots and soup recipes and find someone to cuddle up with for the next 8 months or so of Vancouver rain!

Summer 2013 – Time To GET OUT THERE & Try A Herpes Dating Site

Vancouver can be one of the most exciting and romantic cities on Earth – especially in the summertime – so whatever you do, don’t waste your energy feeling lonely and out of the dating loop right now when there are so many local singles who feel EXACTLY THE SAME AS YOU DO!

It’s not like “The Olden Days” when herpes was something that was completely hush-hush and people had to take out expensive (and quite frankly… awkward!) personal ads,  or blurt it out at the last minute, or worst of all, not disclose their condition at all, and risk infecting others.

If you do have HSV, then rest assured, there has never been a better time to have it!

Of course that seems like cold comfort if you have been recently diagnosed or if you are still struggling with shock, fear, anger, shame, etc. (don’t worry, “this too shall pass” as they say); however it must be said that every day people and society in general are getting used to the H-word – even on primetime TV!

Today, there is a seamless, life-changing solution for HSV singles: PositiveSingles.com – and don’t worry – it is not one of those “global” STD databases with just a tiny handful of Vancouverites if any – there are LOTS of singles, very likely some right in your own neighbourhood!

If you are hesitating to try a herpes dating site because you think that the people will be nasty in some way, promiscuous, desperate, or in any way less pleasant, decent, smart, good-looking, educated, etc. than people on the regular dating sites, then THINK AGAIN!

Logic dictates that people who are brave & strong enough to go on such a website have the integrity to disclose their condition and deal with it in an ethical – and less awkward – manner.

Just think, once you sign up (and it’s free to sign up), check out some profiles, get checked out, and assure yourself that there are plenty of quality singles there, you don’t have to have “THE CONVERSATION” the way you would with someone from an ordinary dating site.

Do yourself a HUGE favour this spring & summer:

1. Go get yourself something bright & summery to wear
2. Put on some summer tunes
3. Take 3 deep breaths through your nose, and
4. Find someone nice on PositiveSingles.com to go for a beautiful walk or bike ride with around Stanley Park, perhaps a hike, lunch, dinner, or a cocktail downtown or Gastown….The possibilities are endless… especially as long as the sun is shining on us!
