“We should both get tested for STDs just to be safe. Trust, but verify, you know? That way we can look out for each other.”
If they get mad or upset, that’s a red flag.
A girl once just asked me “have you been tested recently?” Lol, didn’t offend me, said yes, asked her, she said yes, you can predict the rest.
Just do it. I was friends with, and then dated, a girl who wouldn’t do anything with a guy unless she could see their test results. I thought it was overly-cautious at first, but the Planned Parenthood near my apartment that did STD testing for almost free.
Before we started dating, we were getting very flirty. I went and got tested the week before she was going to come over for a party. Things were going well and we went to my room where the test results were sitting on my bed. She thought it was funny and we hooked up.
No one is cool receiving an STD. There are dumb fucks who are too stupid to know they’re sharing an STD. And there are sick fucks who don’t care that they’re infecting people.
Be the partner you want to have
Relationships are about trust.
Trust is built by not hiding or lying.
Being straight out and forward about this removes a lot of assumptions
If you are planning to have sex, better find out what happens afterwards before it happens. After all, prevention is always better than cure.
Talking it out is the only way you will see which way the relationship is going.
After all, contraceptives do fail, and a woman doesn’t want to be a single mother or even pregnant before they are ready.
