I reckon this is going to sound weird to a lot of people, but it still doesn't seem real to me that there are guys out there who are genuinely attracted to and who want to build deeper, non-platonic, relationships with other guys. I mean, the fact that this forum exists shows that those types of men exist, and that I'm just one of them, but it's still hard to accept. The fact that there are gay men in this world, that we as gay men are normal people, that we are capable of positive, healthy relationships and love is still something as foreign to me as it is exciting to me. Maybe once I start dating this will all start to fit into place and I'll normalize it. Guess I'm just not there yet....
I'm soooo with you, but in regards to the ladies. Lol. It's a concept that's a little difficult to grasp at the moment.
It has gotten easier for me as I've spent more time with my gay and bi friends. Being around others like me - not for romance, but for friendship, has been pivotal for me to begin to feel "normal". This site has helped a lot too...
I sometimes struggle with this too, and even more so with relating that to myself, rather than as seeing it as something that happens to other people.
This! I have been engaging every gay and bi person I can find. Really as friends and confidantes. I am using a hook up site but it is reassuring that many of these guys are receptive to platonic friendships!
I have been spending a long weekend in Provincetown, MA these past four days. It is a Sea of LGBT. No doubt, they exist! And being smack in the middle of this sea reinforces what your expressing!
