This is definitely a step in the right direction for me accepting who I am and I just wanted to share this little, yet significant expierence I just had. I went to the grocery store with my dad to pick up stuff for dinner, and I noticed a cute guy. Well for the past decade I've pushed those thoughts into the back of my mind and didn't think twice about them. But it was so nice and freeing to take a second look and wonder if he just might be gay as well. It was still a little weird, since this is the first cute guy I've encountered since coming out to myself, but I didn't feel any shame. The wheels of progress are definitely turning.
Congratulations! I'm glad you felt comfortable enough to do that. Eventually, I think these things will become easier and easier for you. Good luck.
Thank you. This place has really helped me out a lot with this difficult time in my life. I am very thankful for this forum, and especially thankful for the kind, caring people on here.
