What it says on the tin. I’ve always been a little worried of how that works out. You can’t exactly ask someone to show their tests, it’s not something someone carries out and around - nor is it appropriate to ask (I think?) on first meet. Basically what I mean is, if someone has something like Herpes or such, how do you avoid that, especially when you’re at the very start of dating. Like let’s say there’s someone awesome you like, it’d be a bummer if you made all the effort of basically courting them (or whatever word you wanna use) and eventually getting into a relationship with them, only to at the pivotal moment find that mystery box open. Same with online dating too, just the time invested is less ig. Overall what I mean is, how do you avoid wasting your time - and her time too, tbh (or his, ig, if you swing that way) - with this, especially if it turns out to be something that’s a deal breaker. Is it just a ‘Pray’ thing? I’ve always wondered this. It’s not like we’re in some game with some sort of data marker on our heads. Especially if you’re going in for long-term with someone. Any precautions or anything you take or something? submitted by /u/Arc_7
