I have friends with herpes and I know they feel unworthy of love, which I tell them is ridiculous, but only they know how they feel. There lives go on, they get married, or remain happily single, and they have families just like everybody else because they are just like everybody else.
Hold your head up high, or try to. I agree the hardest part will be telling someone, but that is because sex in general is hard to talk to people about. Don't limit your dating pool, it is hard enough to find good guys out there, (no offense fellas).
Set a rule with yourself on when you will tell someone, and write it down and store it in a safe place. Your rule could be always tell the person on the fourth date, or it could be always tell someone after the first time we make out. Our always tell someone after the third kiss, Or always tell someone the first time he rubs his piece against your crotch. Whatever, figure it out quickly and write it down, you can always rewrite the rule if after implementing a few times it back fires. But this way, when you start to tell him you can say, "I have this rule that after (insert rule) I always tell the guy I am dating about the fact that I have inactive type 2 herpes. (What does the inactive mean? It just means you don't currently have an outbreak, because if you just say herpes they immediately assume you have sores all over your vagina!!) If they ask the classic, why didn't you tell me earlier, you remind them of your rule, if they say you made that up, you have your paper back up. That way you will not feel like you are deceiving them, you are waiting for the relationship to satisfy your rule.
Hope that helps.
