    Hi

    I'm just wondering if anyone else does this because I do and I don't think it's helping me and probably just aiding in me feeling down in the dumps.

    Now... I'd love to have a boyfriend but... it hasn't happened yet and whether to just give up completely is tempting. But every time am on the computer, not even on the internet, I eventually find my self going on the internet to look at clips of gay guys/couples from TV shows and thinking "ah, as if that would be me".

    Now I know nothing is like it is TV and wouldn't expect it to as TV is constructed and someone has made it look a certain way but oh... the kissing, being together and even just the general couple stuff makes me feel down because I don't have any of it. Yeah it may happen some day or it may not but I just can't help but go and look at this clips.

    Does anyone else do this or at least something similar?

    oh how embarrassing and sad

    :confused::icon_sad::confused:

    I do pretty much the exact same thing (except I record the shows and rewatch the specific parts).

    I don't really think its embarrassing or sad. I'm sure tons of people do this, straight or gay, because so many people want to have relationships like they're portrayed on tv. I like to watch those types of things because for now, there's is no way for it happy to me because of where I live. One day though, I'll leave for college and find opportunity.
    Regardless of your limitations, it'll happen someday for you too.

    I do it when they're not even couples. My tumblr is basically 50 pages of 'Sherlock' screen-caps with the caption JOHNLOCK IS CANON.

    It still doesn't help the fact that every time I watch a clip I feel down and crap because I don't have that

    I need like a filter switch of something

    Darling, it's definitely not just you. I do the same thing. All of the couple stuff is adorable and wonderful, but at the same time there's a tugging in my head where I just wonder when I'll finally be on the other end of things. Watching the clips or looking at the pictures almost feels good when I can imagine the day I'll get that, but in the end it doesn't feel so great.

    Have you ever seen the movie Wall*E? Do you know how Wall*E, the little butch robot, watches the dancing people falling in love in Hello, Dolly, over and over, and then you can see how zie remembers it later when zie is falling in love with the little femme robot?

    That's because Disney knows everyone does that.

    Thank you for introducing me to that tumblr, now if you excuse me, I'll go sit on a corner and cry myself to sleep. :tears:

    Seriouly though, I do that often too. Sometimes I just watch the parts of the shows which involve gay couples (thank you, youtube).

    Pretty Little Liars & Glee, the gay/lesbian couples on those show. xD I feel the same. Sad but at the same time desire.
