I agree that the first guy sounds creepy and it would be unsafe to meet him at his house. If he really got lost, he would've asked for directions.

 

Also, you may want to do some more research on herpes before writing second guy off:laugh:. As stated, 50-80% of adults have oral herpes. It's usually not std related. A cold sore doesn't automatically mean someone has an std. It's rare that an hsv1 outbreak was caused from oral sex actually.

 

I have no stds, but occasionally when I'm sick, or stressed, will get a cold sore or two on my lip. There's a picture of me as a kid where I had a cold sore, never sexually related.

 

What Causes a Cold Sore?

HSV-1 is very common. If you have it, chances are you picked it up when you were a kid — most likely from close contact with someone who has it or getting kissed by an adult with the virus.

 

How people get herpes around their mouth

 

A person with HSV-1 (herpes simplex type 1) can pass it to someone else by:

 

Kissing.

Touching the person’s skin, such as pinching a child’s cheek.

Sharing objects such as silverware, lip balm, or a razor.

 

I've also read you can get it from surfaces such as touching a doorknob.

 

If you are worried, just bring it up before you kiss or get ssexually active. Can't be a bad thing to show test results before sex. :)
