"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Never had it in my life nor had any sign of it in my lips, but I think I may be a carries.

I met a girl at the club and banged her in january and the following week she had it and blamed me saying that she didnt kiss anybody in the previous month, I didnt paid attention to that and just banged her without kissing just to be sure.

Then 2 weeks ago I made out with a girl from the cafeteria and she told me she now has herpes on her lips and asked me if I had it cause she never had it before making out with me....we met and saw it with my own eyes but again I never had it nor I have it now.

Just wondering if I may be a carrier altought being immune to it or those two girls simply coincidentally got it after staying with me.

Also how long do I have to wait in case I wanna make out again with the girl who is having it now?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

60-70% of adults are seropositive (have the antibody) by the time they are in their late thirties. This is published data.

Asymptomatic viral shedding is uncommon for HSV-1, but it does happen. I'm sure you have it. It may be a good idea to disclose this to new partners, although telling every potential makeout you have a form of herpes may be a bit of overkill, not to mention a destroyer to your dating life. People assume risks when they kiss or have sex. I would tell any girl you sleep with however, that you could transmit it oral-genital. Your call. I also have HSV-1 and have done it both ways (disclosure and nondisclosure), but I dont feel too good about the latter.

Antivirals can help suppress viral replication and shedding, but they need to be taken daily and are not cheap.
