Shannon:
“Chris and I met actually at a herpes-designated dating Web site.
“I had, actually, for the first time ever in all the years that I’ve had herpes, had my first breakup based on the fact that I had herpes.
“And I’m really busy and I just didn’t feel like dealing with it again really, quite frankly, and I’d heard about this Web site. And so I went on it and posted an ad and this really cute guy answered my ad and he just happened to live down the street from me, go figure. And, well we’re married now, so...”
Chris:
“Well, I was a lonely heart. And I had some bad luck in the dating scene, you know, nothing dramatic, but I felt like I was kind of tired of going through the whole routine of getting to know someone and then having the big herpes discussion which, you know, was never really that bad. But I thought I’m going to try this herpes dating Web site because there it just starts out as a non-issue, you know.
“You’re there because you have it and so it’s, you know, one less, one less thing to deal with.”
