May have lost out on a potential relationship because of HPV
Just need to vent a bit.
I am a male in my 30s, and have been talking with a girl for a little while now. We met up for the first time today.
Everything was great. We were hitting it off very well. Probably the best first date I’ve ever been on. There was definitely a lot of mutual attraction. And I felt like we vibed a lot (or at least more than I’ve ever vibed with someone before on a first date)
The conversation eventually turned to past sexual partners and experience etc… and eventually lead to me disclosing that I may have HPV (one of my past partners from many years ago had it). She was very concerned about this.
She said she’s gotta do her own research on it. She’s now basically ghosted me. And it’s looking like it’s probably done.
I feel like shit. Like I had to be honest about it, but now I regret it. Especially because like half the population has it. She could have even had it at one point in her life and didn’t even realize.
Anyone else ever go through this? I feel like I’m some disgusting monster. And there’s nothing I can do about it.
