Ok- here's another panic story.
There is this guy who wants to kiss me on Monday.
I'm so afraid to. I mean, I don't want to hurt his feelings.
The problem is, I'm so paranoid that I'll catch oral herpes or get mono or something!
Can someone help calm me down here?
Thank you!

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
I agree with bmason that first you should decide you want to kiss this person- don't just kiss them because they want to kiss you!
Maybe it would ease your mind to do some research on oral herpes. A lot of website and health educators try to "scare" people out of doing things where they can contract it. But it's pretty hard to come by from kissing. Especially if he doesn't have a visible outbreak around his mouth.
As for mono, the good news is that worst case scenerio its not a life threatening thing! I was scared I had mono a few months back because I kissed someone who had it! Ends up I didn't get it (a lot of people are immune to it). And you'd probably know if this guy has mono, right?
In my opinion, you shouldn't be nervous about contracting things by kissing as long as you're responsible. People who run around kissing 10 total strangers a night are probably more prone to pick something up -even if its just a cold - than someone how only kisses a person that SHE wants to kiss on occasion.
You know what I mean?
Try to enjoy it! Maybe that will help ease your anxiety when you kiss him :)
I mean, it's not that I'm afraid, but since it will be my first kiss- I'm so paranoid that I will get something!
But I'm feeling a bit better now. Thank you!
