So, I only accepted I was gay about 3 years ago. I thought I'd post a brief update as a beacon of hope for some of you who are may be at the start...
Time for an update! This forum was such a help to me through my coming out process so I wanted to drop by and update some other users about my...
Thanks for your feedback guys. It's nice to know I'm not alone. JohnnyWisdom, congrats on your weight loss! I could do with losing a few pounds....
*bump* ;) Where did you meet your last partner? I'm also wondering how your life changed when you came out? What did you do differently? I get...
So, I've only been out to a few people for just over a month. I'm ready to start meeting guys and going on dates after many, many years of being...
Thanks SiennaFire. It goes without saying, I'll only have the people in my life that accept me for being me and I don't expect that to be any...
Thanks SiennaFire. I just want to be accepted for being me. I've already decided that I won't lie about it if it comes up in conversation so,...
I understand what you're saying. I guess from my behaviour I'm seeking everyone's approval before I embark on my journey of finding someone. I...
I'm due to see my wider group of friends tonight. That doesn't feel like the right occassion as I don't want to be out to all tonight. I want to...
Thanks SiennaFire. Mum has to live with dad and he has been particularly difficult as he recovers from his illness. I don't want to make her life...

Thanks OnTheHighway. Expectations are pretty low. I've been using this app for months and haven't met anyone though I think some form of dating...
Thanks folks! I haven't heard from him again so it isn't happening. Bigeagle, he sent me some very explicit photos and said he was looking for...
Yeah, there's no way it would be unprotected but thanks for the words of caution. My preference would be to meet for a beer first and, like you...
:icon_bigg I guess I thought my first time with a guy would be in a relationship. I really need some fun in my life because it has been so long...
So, I'm recently out to a few people and becoming much more comfortable with being gay. I've been using a few hook-up apps to chat to guys but...
Aw man, that's rough. I really hope things with your dad improves soon. What straight people don't get is, this isn't a choice. If they had to...
So, I came out to my gay uncle tonight. Apparently I called him about 5 years ago and told him when I was very drunk! Does everyone already...
You are not a failure. We live in a very hetero-normal world and it's not easy to go against the grain and live as an openly gay person. I should...
Thanks guys! This forum has been a massive help for me. I've literally been lingering on here for the last year or two. Mum and I spoke on the...
