I met an amazing man online, when do I tell him I have Herpes?

Je

Sooo due to covid, I haven’t met this amazing man I met online. I’ve known him for almost six months now. And we’re both super cautious about covid because we both have kids, plus we live far from each other. So because of covid it’s just not the right time to meet yet.

We both have really fallen for each other. Which is crazy the way we met (but that’s another long story😋). Anywho, we both have super strong feelings for each other. But WHEN do I tell him I have herpes? (I have hsv1 in my genital area).

In the past I’ve told the last two guys I dated after 1-3 months of dating (no sex of course). But this time, we haven’t even met yet. I feel like it makes it harder. Also, when is the right time? I feel like I’m lying by not telling him. We just keep falling more and more for each other, but he doesn’t even know my deep dark secret yet. Help 😩
