Spring Fever 2014: Love & Dating In Vancouver (With HSV)!

Here it is, Spring again, Vancouver! As the dark skies change to a beautiful blue and Stanley Park and the Seawall beckon, we can be sure that everyone is getting a case of Spring Fever 2014!

Don’t worry, it’s natural!

Humans (including Vancouverites) are set up just the same as the birds and the bees in so many ways, and off we go in Springtime to find a mate (if they don’t already have one!) to share the bright, sunny days with. It’s a reawakening and it’s all good.

That said… what if you are single and have recently been diagnosed with herpes or are still not reconciled to the diagnosis?

Do you sit-out this ‘mating season’ while everyone else goes out on dates, phones up that friend’s friend, gets fixed up on a blind date?

No! Don’t opt-out of the fun and JOYS of Spring if you’re single!

One thing for sure about getting that “verdict” from the doctor is that it is a very isolating feeling … at first, anyway; and the fact is that most people when first infected DO NOT WANT TO TALK TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY ABOUT IT.

Why?

1. AWKWARD!!! Because it is embarrassing to talk about an STD to most friends & family, let’s face it… unless it’s a joke about someone ELSE’s problem (be honest with yourself – how many times have you laughed at an STD joke?);
2. FEELING LIKE A FOOL: a herpes infection often results from a betrayal of trust or a sexual ‘mistake’ or carelessness;
3. SHAME: there is a persisting stigma amongst “The UNinfected” – and of course it is understandable for HSV negative singles to want to stay that way!
4. FEAR: a lot of people worry about telling ANYONE because of the social ramifications. ‘Will everyone see me as a leper?’

It is very liberating to come out of the shadows and find someone to love and to laugh with! Your privacy is never at risk – just sign up with a username of your choice and take a look around.

That lonely, isolated, depressing feeling with evaporate like the April showers that bring May flowers!

Summer 2013 – Time To GET OUT THERE & Try A Herpes Dating Site

Vancouver can be one of the most exciting and romantic cities on Earth – especially in the summertime – so whatever you do, don’t waste your energy feeling lonely and out of the dating loop right now when there are so many local singles who feel EXACTLY THE SAME AS YOU DO!

It’s not like “The Olden Days” when herpes was something that was completely hush-hush and people had to take out expensive (and quite frankly… awkward!) personal ads,  or blurt it out at the last minute, or worst of all, not disclose their condition at all, and risk infecting others.

If you do have HSV, then rest assured, there has never been a better time to have it!

Of course that seems like cold comfort if you have been recently diagnosed or if you are still struggling with shock, fear, anger, shame, etc. (don’t worry, “this too shall pass” as they say); however it must be said that every day people and society in general are getting used to the H-word – even on primetime TV!

Today, there is a seamless, life-changing solution for HSV singles: PositiveSingles.com – and don’t worry – it is not one of those “global” STD databases with just a tiny handful of Vancouverites if any – there are LOTS of singles, very likely some right in your own neighbourhood!

If you are hesitating to try a herpes dating site because you think that the people will be nasty in some way, promiscuous, desperate, or in any way less pleasant, decent, smart, good-looking, educated, etc. than people on the regular dating sites, then THINK AGAIN!

Logic dictates that people who are brave & strong enough to go on such a website have the integrity to disclose their condition and deal with it in an ethical – and less awkward – manner.

Just think, once you sign up (and it’s free to sign up), check out some profiles, get checked out, and assure yourself that there are plenty of quality singles there, you don’t have to have “THE CONVERSATION” the way you would with someone from an ordinary dating site.

Do yourself a HUGE favour this spring & summer:

1. Go get yourself something bright & summery to wear
2. Put on some summer tunes
3. Take 3 deep breaths through your nose, and
4. Find someone nice on PositiveSingles.com to go for a beautiful walk or bike ride with around Stanley Park, perhaps a hike, lunch, dinner, or a cocktail downtown or Gastown….The possibilities are endless… especially as long as the sun is shining on us!
