A Bloody Problem

I am usually very cautious when meeting guys from the internet. You never know who might be on the other end. It could be a decent guy or an ax-wielding murderer. So in order to make sure that I know what I am getting into, I chat with the other guy at least 3,4 times and exchanging pics is a must. I once went to a blind date and......lets just say I wished I was blind! Only when a guy passes through all my screenings, then I agree to meet up. Mostly in that duration you can figure out which guys are just looking for hook ups and who is into more than just sex.

I started chatting with a guy a few weeks ago. He is an Omani and he can speak pretty good English which is a huge plus because mostly they dont have good command on English due to which it becomes very difficult to communicate with them. A guy told me once "Babi, I am very haarny." (Baby, I am very horny). I shuddered and pressed the block button. Yes I can be a real bitch when it comes to filtering people. I dont like to waste my time.Anyways back to the guy. So we had quite a good conversation, he taught me how to type in arabic and I taught him the meaning of some English words. We exchanged pics and he is good looking. Sometimes he used to flirt with me so I responded in that way. In short, we have become quite friendly.

However, most of the time he used to be at home. He told me he wasnt well, in the first chat. I figured out it might be. When he showed me latest pics of his, it seems to me that he had dark circles and his eyes were sort of a yellowish shade. When I asked him about it, he just laughed it off. So I let it go, pics can sometimes mess up the features. Anyways, we chatted for about 2 weeks and then he just disappeared. I didnt understand at first what had happened. He seemed quite into me but then you find weird people on the net all the time. So I placed him in the "Weird" category and moved on.

After about 10,12 days, he came online again last night. And he started the chat with "miss you". I was kinda pretty pissed at his disappearing act and me being me, I gave him a piece of my mind. This is how it went.

Me: "Are you kidding me? You disappeared for almost to weeks without any explanation and now you come and say miss you and expect me to say the same??? Where the hell have you been?!"

Him: "Sorry my friend I was sick."

Me: "Yeah you told me that two weeks ago and I wanna know what is it?"

Him: "I will tell you later."

Me: "You know what, I am tired of waiting. You keep on saying later. I wanna know NOW."

There was a pause for about a minute and I wondered if he had gone offline. Then his reply came,

"I have Hepatitis B"

Fuck!! I was horrified! And I felt so sorry for him. Now, I dunno much about hepatitis but I do know thats its not flu! And it can be transmitted! Anyways, I gulped down my shock and we chatted a bit about his illness. He doesnt know how he got it and he didnt tell me at first because people usually run away when they hear about it. Also, he says that there are periods when the virus is back and then its gone. And he was away because he was ill and resting. But now he is ok again and wants to meet me! I didnt know what to say so I stalled by saying that I have classes all this week. But I cant ignore him like this. I wont. Ignoring him or avoiding meeting him just because he has Hepatitis would be cruel. It might crush him and I wont do that to another human being! So I told him I will be free next week. But I am kinda worried now. What if he wants to kiss me? Can Hepatitis be transferred by a kiss? How do I avoid it? I tried reading about it on the internet but it was just loads of medical terms! So anyone who has any ideas, I'd really appreciate any useful information. Because frankly, yellow eyes? I cannot rock that look!
