When Dating with HIV do You Deal Well with Rejection?

No one is fond of rejection, but should rejection follow an admittance of your AIDS or HIV status then rejection can be even more agonising. Dating with HIV or AIDS can then become something to dread, at least until you have declared your condition. Therefore it is no wonder that some feel it is just easier to not even bother to try dating with HIV.

Undergoing rejection when dating with HIV or AIDS can produce feelings so intense that it is easier to hide away and give up seeking love and friendship in an effort to protect oneself from further hurt. This is not the answer. For giving up on something you wish and dream for will never make you happy.

The world is made up of many things and many differing types of people. And sometimes it is not all that easy to see inside of a person. Ignorant people can come disguised as many things. Therefore keep in mind that when dating with HIV or AIDS and disclosing this fact, your partner may reject you. But if this is so, rejoice in the knowledge that you have just stopped yourself wasting time on a relationshop which would never have worked anyway. They were not right for you! You can do much better for yourself and you will.

Really liking a person, means you like them for who they are, warts and all. It matters not that they have issues, lset us face it, we all have some sort of issues. If the feelings you are experiencing are really true, then you will accept the whole person. If someone cannot or will not do that, then they are not the person you were looking for anyhow.

Telling someone that you are dating with HIV obviously brings shock. Anyone who is genuine in their feelings for you would want to know more. They would want details and consequences explained to them. At first they may be understandably upset. This feeling is not necessarily only geared towards themselves, tou too may be the target. However anyone who has real emotion for you and found you entertaining and attractive before your disclosure will still find you so afterwards.

Be perpared to give solid explainations as this will help build your relationship. Honesty is the only option here. Tell them how you manage your condition and discuss safe sex. By ensuring you eliminate any fear your potential partner may feel will considerably boost the propability of your exposure being taken in the correct vein.

We all have the right to love and be loved. You are no different just because you are dating with HIV or AIDS. Trust in your instincts, but never allow anyone else's opinion to make you feel bad about yourself or your condition. Anyone would be blessed to have you as their friend or even as their lover. Therefore never settle for less than what you are worth and ensure whoever you choose for your partner is truely worthy of being chosen.

Finally remember rejection cannot be controlled. This is okay, but remember your reaction to rejection is well within your power to control. So use your AIDS or HIV condition to give you an inside edge to gain real confirmation about how others feel about you. Permit your dating with HIV to turn the control tables upside down and to your advantage. Anyone who cannot deal with your condition is not the person you want as a partner anyway. Praise yourself for finding this out early. And go out and find someone who will love you HIV or AIDS as well.
