Question:
I have known this girl for a very long time....we were friends for a very long time.....and recently I've realized that I have fallen head over heels for her....we have never been intimate or even have kissed.....she very casually informed me of her herpes condition (oral)...she got it from her native country (apparently from some doctor she had gone to).....this is so difficult for me....I'm so in love with her but I just don't know how I will be able to deal with this in the long run....she is everything I ever wanted in a woman. This is by far the most difficult situation I have ever confronted in my life......

Answer:
if you love this girl, you can make it work. This is not a fatal disease. It's not a life or death situation here. All you need to do is be more careful sometimes and be totally honest with each other.

Answer:
If you love her so much then the fact that she has herpes shouldn't really matter. She is still the same person you fell in love with she just has a minor skin irritation every now and then. There are a lot worse things out there, and she was open and honest enough to share personal information with you.
