Finally free!

Well not completely but this is the closest I've come to it. I kept trying to be attracted to girls for such a long time and finally got the chance to be honest with myself. Relationships with girls never seemed like anything more than someone to talk to. I have been battling internally to decide if I want to just try going out with a guy, but didn't know anybody or a method to meet anyone, for that matter. I recently found out this guy in one of my classes that I liked was gay. I was so excited! It turns out he was single and I decided to ask him out today. He accepted and we're going out for lunch tomorrow. I explained to him my situation today and he was totally cool with it and understanding, and we're both into philosophy and literature. I really hope this turns out really awesome for me. Alright I'm done, I just needed to get that out of my head. Any thoughts and/or advice are welcome and appreciated. Thanks!

 

May I Welcome You To "Hip Forums"......And Wish You All The Best For

Your First Date.....

Keep In Touch..



Cheers Glen.

 

Ooooo happy first date!! Come back and tell us how it turned out!

My only advice to you is don't put any expectations on your date. All that does is limit the awesome potential! Or make you disappointed if it didn't go exactly as planned. Just be kewl and enjoy the hell out of being on a date with your preferred gender!

 

That's awesome! It must feel like such a relief that you can now just be yourself. It sucks how so many people feel forced to have relationships with people they're not really attracted to, just to appease our ignorant society. Its very sad.

Good luck with your date, hope it goes well for you!

 

Thanks for all of the support! It makes it a lot easier to deal with this time of life with tips and comments. I'll definitely share how it goes.

 

lucky!

some people just have it easy....

 

That's what I've been thinking and I hope so. That's what pushed me to accept it. A nice, attractive, understanding, and intelligent guy that happens to be gay and at a college with few open gays. I'm trying not to keep my hopes up just in case it doesn't work out.

 

I have to say it went pretty well. We hung out in the student center at our college and then went to a small coffee shop and talked for about an hour before I had to get back to class. Surprisingly enough we didn't run out of stuff to talk about. I let him know I enjoyed talking to him and would like to do it again sometime so I think we're meeting up again tomorrow. I thought it would be weird going out on a date with a guy but after the first couple of minutes and awkward silences it seemed surprisingly natural. I think I'm liking it so far. I have to confess, I am slightly twitterpated.

 

awwwww im so happy 4 u both good luck!!!!!!!!

 

Cool. It looks like, you two guys managed to break the ice and connect.

Take your time and make friends but stay clearly short of overdoing the good thing called "talking only".

Usually, two to three platonic dates ought to do the trick. Make sure that you get yourself a date Friday after classes with a good place to go afterwards and have some fun, too. Being friends is great. But you are into dating and not into making friends only. Do not forget that bit and let the romance wait too long.

Yeah I need to make sure and do that. I want to hook up with him so bad abut our work schedules conflict slightly and I want to set something up but don't want to seem pushy.
