Got a date
« on: March 06, 2011, 03:56:47 am »
I have a date next week. :)  Just when I was starting to think about dating again (my boyfriend and I broke up last year), this HIV threw a monkey wrench into it. 
I'm a little worried about telling the guy, and when I should tell him.  Do I tell him right away and then that way I don't have to worry if I like him and he says bye?  Or do I wait and see how things go between us first?
I know it's something I have to figure out for myself, but was wondering what other people did in this situation.

Hey Klassy, congrats on the date!  I hope you have a great time.  About the telling.... I personally would wait to see if I liked the guy, and wanted to continue seeing him.  If I didn't, then why say anything?  If I did, and things started going towards the heavy side (sexual wise), then I would tell him.  That's just me.  I know some people don't always disclose, and just use condoms.  But, for me, if I thought there was a chance a relationship could form, I would want the person to know.  But like I said, you should see if you want to continue seeing the guy.  Good luck, and I Hope you have a lot of fun!
