Panick over met a guy last night :icon_bigg only thing is he has just come out of a relationship is it bestto play cool? Have texted and seems ok with that, fingers crossed.
I would take it slow. Especially if you are just starting to date guys. I started to date a few months ago and sometimes the emotions can be overwhelming. I met this guy and we have talked and emailed a bit. Tonight I am going on our third date.I am going over to his place and he is cooking me dinner then a couple of movies. I personally like taking it slow and getting to know each other. Good luck!
I was going to post something about this but never got around to it. I usually order my underwear over the Internet because I can get it cheaper. However it usually takes a few tries, because after checking a couple of web sites I am in need of some alone time. If you catch my drift. However it is a plus also. If I am shopping after a bad day at work, I take a quick stroll down the underwear aisle and my day suddenly improves.
Welcome! That's so great you've finally began to accept yourself. Its only been 6 months since I started doing the same thing, so I know in some regard how you must be feeling. I wasn't married, but I was in a long relationship before I finally began to accept myself for who I am. I am still trying to wrap my head around it all. Congrats on taking your first step!
Thanks for the encouragement, it has taken me a while as you can see but i am feeling better when i am with people who know now, which is great. I can relax around them as they have already been so good to me. 1974
I am looking forward to that! Only my gay friends know I am gay...lol. Their reactions were predictable and I guess I found that comforting. Now I have to get started on the harder group...
Welcome 1974, Congratulations and welcome to EC. It took me until age 56 to finally figure it out. That was just about 3 years ago and although I don’t have a permanent partner, I’m having the time of my life. As some folks have already noted, take your time and don’t feel like you have to rush into the next long-term relationship. It takes a while to figure out what kind of a relationship you really want, one-night stands, part-time boyfriend, lifelong partner, etc. For sure I wanted to have gay friends and actually found quite a few that were still interested in someone my age . Needless to say, my boyfriends were very helpful in teaching me the ropes and making me feel comfortable as a gay man, even kissing in public and holding hands downtown. Very cool! You have a fun fantastic journey ahead of you. Enjoy it at your own pace.
Thankyou all, its is daunting, i too have gay friends who are also being great and helping along the way. It is difficult to know what i want at the mo although i am now feeling that i am getting the early twenties i didnt have back again. Hold back the tears sorry. Its gonna be along process but i am definitely on the right track now. :icon_bigg
Lol realy funny that's one of the first things that made me realize I was gay. Welcome to EC! If you ever need to talk I'm a great listener. :icon_bigg
the guy i met has texted me back and we are meeting tomorrow for a drink. Nervous now shaking never had this before weird, Brain playing up too, in ou in out eek, is this what it feels like nomally first time? I really like him but feeling strange. 1974
This is how I feel about the guy I am dating. I never felt this way before. I can't stop thinking about him and our first kiss. When I dated women, I never ever felt this way. I feel like I'm in high school again. It weird, but in a nice way.
phew im normal then and yes i was the same with women, never felt like this. emotions high, guess its all part of the learning curve then. Thanks for that EM64 V helpful.
It certainly is, i know that i want to be where i am but my brain i guess gets stuck back in closetland sometimes. I know that i have felt so much happier since coming out especially around the people that know as i dont have to pretend. Hope ur date went well the other nite.
Well date went very well we seemed to have a lot in common :icon_bigg Although maybe drank a bit much and coming home at 2 am not such a good idea if you have to work the next day. LOL(!)
