I know it doesn't look pleasant, but it's just a temporary thing.

Don't hold back FRACON, tell us what you really think about irishgit. Are you angry because 'git got your goat or are you just peeved because you couldn't find 'cold sores' on the fantasy lists? As to the topic, well, it isn't a permanent condition and certainly nothing to hold against anyone. Now, obsessive soreheads are a different matter.

Well, I wouldn't suggest close contact in this case. At best, you'll catch cold sores, at worst, she has something else to give you...

They're not that bad but you'd have to ask yourself, Do they have any other types of sores on their body?

Herpes Simplex is not the same thing as Herpes Zoster or any other form of Herpes. It's a temporary affliction that is easily dealt with. This is like saying you won't date someone because they occasionally have a pimple.

I do not have cold sores, and I never want them. But I have been told this is some form of herpes, but not of the sexual type, but I am not sure. In any event, I certainly wouldn't be french kissing the guy, but I also wouldn't judge him by it...

Ew. Definately wouldn't be a turn-on. It's only a 4 because there are worse things on this list.

LOL at minkey's comment. Yup, I'd be VERY wary.

Are these cold sores actually cold sores, or could they be the gift that keeps on giving?
