Backstory- I'm a woman in my early 20s. I date women. I've been seeing a woman for about 2 months that Ive found interesting. We hadn't done anything sexual and decided we were going to try to get serious. I told her recently that before we get serious she should know I do get cold sores on my mouth sometimes and I do have hsv type 1. This situation seemed to be the perfect person for me until I told her. She told me it was something she cannot accept or get over and that we have to call it quits on talking and that's that... I understand her, I mean who wants to be with me now that I have oral herpes of course. I'm just so conflicted and heartbroken rn. This rejection has been the worst thing to happen to me in such a long time. All day I've been moping around crying, in bed, just overall filled with sadness because I really liked her and in MY opinion I didn't think people saw cold sores in that light, I thought it was normal you know? ... anyway just looking for some encouragement or advice or successful dating stories with hsv because as of now I plan to just not date again.
