Dating in itself can be difficult, but having genital herpes or oral herpes (HSV type-1/HSV type-2) can be really stressful, because herpes singles have to deal with ignorance, stigma and possible rejection.

The main problems herpes singles deal with are how and when to tell a potential partner about the disease and fear of being rejected because of the disease. Many of them feel sometimes they will never feel comfortable dating again.

When should I tell a partner that I have herpes, on my first date or later? Telling on the first date means almost 100% guarantee of being rejected. People will not even bother to learn what a nice person I am. And I can be accused of being dishonest if I tell later.

This emotional burden makes many herpes singles stay out of the dating scene and be alone because of this fear.

Herpes dating sites have become quite popular over the past few years as they represent a wonderful solution for herpes personals and joining up such communities takes all of the burden off of them.
