First date

I’m going on my first date since I’ve been diagnosed (a year ago😞). I just want to know how you guys tell someone about herpes? I’m going to wait a few weeks and give him a chance to know me before putting all of my business out there, i will not sleep w him until he knows for sure... i also want to partly protect myself i don’t want to tell someone who i don’t trust. Bye how do i say it ? Over text or in person? I don’t want to seem like I’m trying to convince him herpes isn’t a big deal but at the same time i want him to know my experience
