You do know there is a wealth of reliable scientific information out there about this stuff without having to rely on answers from a forum.
We've moved on from the scientific/health related part. This is a more about the relationship, emotional, and mental aspect of it. Coming to terms (emotionally) with having herpes and accurately judging whether dating a woman is worth getting it, if you don't have it.

OP, given that most people have it, how would you screen for that, since most people don't have visible outbreaks? You would be turning down this one girl, only to open yourself to the risk of getting it from someone else who would be carrying the virus without showing signs of it. Like this girl you're interested in during her outbreak-free times. Most people don't announce to their dates, "I get cold sores". It's kinda like, "well, who doesn't"? Y'know?

One in six, according to the CDC have genital herpes. Hardly "most". This cavalier and uneducated misguidance is just plain bad advice.
OP the truth is no one can tell you how YOU will feel if you contract it. Just as you have concerns, so will others in the future will have concerns with you. As you see on this thread, there are plenty with a No Way attitude. You WILL encounter that attitude in your future dating. If there is future dating. If she is the one, and how can you know that now, then it is less of an issue.
Personally I wouldn't date someone who had an std no matter how attracted I was or how much I liked them. I don't have any stds and I prefer someone who doesn't either. If I were you I wouldn't even complicate my life.... Unless you really feel that she is worth it.
The type of herpes really has to be specified here. Are they cold sores or major blisters? You can get herpes type 2 by performing oral sex on someone with genital herpes. Herpes type 1, however, is not an STD, as Ruth already stated.
Herpe is your best friend he stay with you until the end . He will not be with you every day but every once in a while stop by and say he will say hay. I am here to stay with no cure for me in sight I will not go down with out a fight. I am the herpe I like it raw.

He'd be hard pressed to do that since 90% of Americans have this virus.
