No, not in one at the moment but I have been in the past and a lot in high school. I found them all at school since they went to the same school I did.

HOW did you find them and meet them? Did they ask you, did you ask them, did you say you were gay, etc. Since you've been a lot in high school and not one now. Why did they break up?

No. QQ.

I haven't had a steady girlfriend since high school. She was in my circle of friends, though, and I guess things just came together. I developed the world's biggest crush on her, and since I was already out as bi at the time to my closest friends (as was she) they urged me to suck it up and ask her out - which I did.

My girl coached me. Lol. We didn't develope romantic or sexual feeling for each other until after the season was over tho. We both kinda figured out our sexuality together. And after a long time of living each other, I asked her to b my gf

Default Re: Are you in a gay relationship?

yes i am. we've been together for a year and 5 months. we met at a bar and when i met her i was instantly drawn to her. but at that point i was still struggling with my sexuality so we just became really good friends. she waited 6 months for me to make a move, even though she knew the first time we talked that i was gay. one night i just kissed her and 3 days later i asked her to be my girlfriend...the rest is history.

Yes - over 3 years. We're now married!

We met through the 'Gay Fathers of Toronto' support group. At first it was just a friendship - I was 6 months ahead of him in the process of coming out to my family and separating from my wife, and offered to be someone he could talk to. As time went by a relationship developed.

Sadly, no, but I might end up in a relationship before the end of the year, depending on who I meet in school :P

I've been in two. I met both of them through mutual friends. The first one asked me out. The second one made it known through Facebook that he found me attractive, and then I asked him out. He said no at first for a variety of personal reasons, then changed his answer and asked me out.

As someone on Tumblr once said, "Dating in the gay world is like finding a job: you have to either do it on the internet or get referred."

My last boyfriend, I met on IRC. We split up because it was looking like I was going to move away for a job. Then I didn't move away, but by then we just weren't compatible for reasons I'll leave to ambiguity. Just know that it couldn't work between us. Then I did move away for a different job, and haven't had one since.

tl;dr: No.

Default Re: Are you in a gay relationship?

Yes. We met in our sophomore year in high school. Neither of us knew we were gay at the time. After I came out in our senior year and had bad luck with a couple of boyfriends and was ready to to say "not now, maybe later" to having a boyfriend, I heard from a mutual friend that he had a crush on me. I was surprised at how happy I was that it was him, so I went for it. 3 1/2 years later, we're still good.

I found them in classes of mine mostly. Sure I was rejected several times too, but that's part of the chance you take in asking someone. I did most of the asking. I didn't like waiting around to be asked out because I thought that they wouldn't. Yes, right from the beginning they knew I was gay. The relationships ended for different reasons. Some were unsure about their sexuality and thought it was best to break it off while one guy was super religious and felt it was in his best interest to live a "straight" lifestyle. All in the past now. Plus, people change a lot from when they're in high school and then go to college. I guess I changed and outgrew them or vice versa.

Technically we're just friends...but me and my girl Sparkles would be together if we could. *sighs at real life for being annoying*
