Poz people?
OK, I'm quite new to dating guys, and never was very skilled at dating girls, or just even being very social in general, but I'm not sure how to deal with or even think of this situation.
So, I met this guy at a social event at a bar. No, he's not perfect, but then I don't think anyone is; if I wait for that "perfect" person, I'm going to miss out on meeting anyone at all. This guy's quite decent on many counts-- the fact that he came out with his poz status almost immediately is a sign of that.
So that IS a deal breaker, right? I mean, I still have the images from the late 80's of the emaciated guys covered in purple splotches, and I'm told that it's no longer like that; I know it's no longer like that, but I'm still scared of it. I feel really bad rejecting someone for something that's not their fault, but then again, I've always been a softy and think maybe I've sold myself short in the past because I'm so empathetic. Am I being fair at least?
