Thank you guys so much! I posted this so long ago and never responded but....*cue drumroll* he freaked out a little but afterwards everything was fine. I wasn't comfortable with sex at first but after a while we did it and now... Our sex life is amazing. We've been dating for 7 months in all. I'm extremely happy and he doesn't give a damn that I have herpes. He never mentions it, quite sure he forgot I even had it. He's so perfect and I think that we'll be happy for a while. Your support helped out tremendously and I think that we can definitely file my story under a success story.

I met a guy not so recently and we hit it off tremendously, I think he's the "Bee's Knees." I am ready to disclose, I am extremely terrified because I think he's a really nice guy and I really like him. I made him a packet with a lot of information about it and I've highlighted the things that I think are the most important. I started suppressive meds 3 weeks ago because I wanted to tell him then but I just couldn't. I feel myself getting cold feet again. I wanted to take him to a restaurant, like for coffee, to tell him that way he has the option to run for the hills if he pleases, but is that too public? I feel like it'll stop any bad reaction that he may or may not have. Is the packet a good idea? I mean it's the first time I've told a guy since I was diagnosed, the only other people that I've told are my three best friends because I was so ashamed of myself. I was actually on this website the other day when I came to terms with it and I just couldn't help but crying because I haven't fully accepted myself since I found out. I want, NEED, to tell him but I keep psyching myself out. Any suggestions for me?
