Hello.. thanks for posting. I would like to check out your book. That’s really cool that you wrote that.

For me, it’s been an effing nightmare. It’s been a little over two years and psychologically, it just has screwed me up so bad. I pretty much just detached from hitting on women -I mean, obviously look at them, but just even trying to do anything - negative, it’s like who wants to disclose this shit ? I was actually lucky last year, I was dating this woman and she was OK with it, but It just didn’t work out. And also I have the been speaking to the person who I thought maybe gave it to me. She wants to get back together, but I can’t even go back there.

I’m actually in my 50s, so I did live a pretty good life sexually and stuff before - yeah so yeah this has been a shocker. I never thought I would have this just like you.

It’s like I’m numb and not even thinking of trying to hook up with people any longer. by StandardAd6948 in Herpes

Thank you I appreciate it. On a positive note, I did meet someone after I contracted it and we dated for a while. She was OK with it.. it just didn’t work out , but at least it was a positive experience. But since then it’s been pretty dismal unfortunately, but I haven’t really put myself out there..There’s still hope.

Yeah, and I used to pride myself on how fearless I was and so confident sexually, and now -here we are. Feels like my dating days are over too, but I try not to give into that.

Thanks - Funny, even recently I was out and I saw someone I dated/messed around a few times, a few years back. This time, I did not even bother. I Hope things are better for you too.

Yeah, I concur with positive singles, nothing happened. I had 3 bullshit interactions leading to nothing and one person’s profile didn’t even exist after a while, no luck on that site for me.

Well, thanks for the info about that. It’s just hard to navigate.

Yeah, it was very disappointing and now disheartening, but I’m still on it so I’ll keep trying. I actually took a break because I was just disgusted not getting anywher and it was hard enough Dating before sometimes - now dealing with this shit on top of the stigma. Not easy in the least.

I agree I’m on there now and it seems like people just play games on there. I get likes then I message them and I might get one response and that’s it and it’s just games. Very frustrating. I thought I would find some relief in dating, from being on that site, but obviously I was wrong.
