Need advice on what I (29M) should do I about a girl I dated (27F)

Hello Reddit,

About two months ago I dated a girl after ending a 6 month relationship (the longest I'd had) and she was amazing, chemistry over text was off the charts and when we had our first date I've never felt more myself on a date and she felt the same. I've had a few first dates that were all good TBF, but this was exceptional. Our chemistry was so good even though we only dated about a month, I forgot about the girl I dated for 6 months who I was hung up on for quite some time.

Anyway, at the end of the first date she told me she had HSV2, she'd only had one previous partner a couple of years ago. I was the first guy she'd told because of how good our connection was. She asked me to take some time to think about it (I'm a virgin btw), and the day after I said I'm not sure if I could get comfortable with it so we ended things.

Now 2 months later I can't get over here despite dating a couple of other girls who were nice but the chemistry just isn't comparable. I wonder if I acted too hastily, before she disclosed it we both agreed were not bothered about sex and are happy making out and cuddling more so.

I've really been in my head about this and could do with some advice or people who have been through something similar and how they approached it and decided whether to revisit or move on?
