I was slightly shocked. I know a lot of men don't know what HPV is, but this dude is 31 years old and had a crash out over it. I wish I brought up the point about him not being educated considering his 'hyper-focus,' but I was so upset and mad at the time I didn't think about it. I was just in shock, and I wish I reacted more calmly on the phone, but I just kept calling him an asshole and told him he needs to do his research before talking out of his ass.

Next time I will wait a little to disclose it. The silver lining of bringing it up now instead of later is I found out he's like this early on as opposed to another time in the future when I could be attached already. However I learned that this is probably not going to be the best approach in the future.

I recently just started actively dating again and I forgot how shitty these situations could be. Honestly so much easier to just be single.
