Relationships and Getting Back to Dating Again
Many people who discover they have genital herpes feel as if their love lives are over - and this is just
not so! Herpes is just something people *have* - it’s not who they *are* as people. As we’ve mentioned
elsewhere, the stigma associated with Oral Herpes is nowhere near that of Genital Herpes, and yet the
symptoms are the same - it’s basically a difference in location only! Herpes is not the end of love, sex, or
the world!
Relationships are essential to people - we all enjoy the connection we feel with others, especially a romantic
partner. It’s a need we all have. Relationships can bring us our greatest joys in life. And having a virus
does not eliminate this need, nor should it eliminate this important element from our lives.
Once you’ve come to terms with the infection and learned to manage both the physical and the emotional
aspects, you may be thinking about getting back into a relationship, if you’re not already in one. This can
be a tricky and vulnerable time, as you open your heart to another person and face the inevitable
“conversation” about HSV. This is a time to be true to who you are, continue to maintain your self-esteem
through personal development, and stay on track with your health and energy practices. Please read
some of the HFiles Success stories to see how others have tackled this situation.
Getting Back to Dating: Online Dating
A great way to get back in the swing of things is to try Online Dating. Internet Dating has become a
part of everyday life for many people - and thousands of couples have met and married online.
You'll like one or two sites better than the others, based on your location, your personality, and the
availability of other members in your area. SO TRY THEM ALL! And since most sites have limitations to
their Free Memberships, you may want to pick one or two and sign up and pay for a few months to get
the full benefits and flexibility. Just click on the links, check out the sites, pick the one(s) you like best, and
have fun!
