Hi Orr, I visited this site on a whim this evening after having been gone for a long time. I had a very long running thread of my first forays...
Hi all, I'm eating a bowl of pasta and I've just started watching 'Love, Simon'. I'm only a few minutes in but even the first 20 minutes made...
35-year-old guy here. It has been a while since I've posted here. I have been coming out gradually since 2014 although now I'd say I'm pretty much...
I put it off for a very very long time. I thought I might never do it. The best advice I’ve received is to go at your own pace and to tell people...
Thanks everybody for the advice. Sorry for the delay in my reply. It has been a busy weekend! I did, somewhat spontaneously, come out to them...
Many of you probably don't know me as it's been a few years since I was a regular poster. I've been coming out gradually since 2014 and am at...
A few months ago I was traveling for work. I spotted a guy online who had photos and a profile that just made me melt. It was as if I were to...
I've been coming out very slowly over the past 3 years. Finding a life partner has been a primary motivator to coming out, though finding a...
Thanks to you both. I think you're right. My frustration with the situation makes me want to tell him off and give him a piece of my mind, but I...
Thanks everyone for your thoughtful replies. I've felt before that I should cut him off but it's been harder to do since we socialize with the...
Hello all, I post here from time to time but haven't much recently. I'm a 34 year old guy who moved to a new city 1.5 years ago and it's only here...
I've been reflecting a lot this holiday season- one of the first away from my family and spending a fair bit of time alone. I'm 34 and it seems...
Thanks all. The visit is done and I didn't tell her. I concluded that if I did I would be so worried about it the entire visit that it would be...
I have been coming out quite slowly over the last 2 years or so. It seems to be a pace that's working for me. I moved a year ago and in my new...
Thank you all for those really insightful posts. Your words really resonate, believe me. I think that is kind of what I needed to hear. I've been...
Thanks BeingDude. I have worked on this approach before and it always requires a lot of restraint. I worry that I'm too eager to simply jump right...
This is an interesting discussion and covers a topic I grapple with routinely. As I have come out more and more I have found that it has helped me...
One thing I've found with coming out is that, at 33, I'm so naive about relationships and how they are supposed to progress and what my...
It certainly would be an interesting place. That is what I was getting at- to articulate it better, I feel as though same-sex experimenting for...
Yes it is just a general comment on my frustrations with the 'norm' and I guess how differently I perceive what the norm is since I have begun...
