    Hey all. I'm a 21-year-old man from near Brighton (UK). I'm gay, only recently managed to really get my head around it (I suppose I've 'known' since I was 18), and thought coming out to some people online might be a good stepping stone towards doing it for real!

    Also since the vast majority of my mates are straight, it would be good to make some gay friends.

    So yeah... hi.

    Josh

    I've just realised that 'jp36' might be a stupid username. I picked it pretty much automatically - my initials and the number that I used to have on my university email account. But it probably looks like I'm 36, doesn't it?

    Hello. If it bothers you enough, you could change it, I'm sure. Fiddle around with stuff in the My Settings section. If you still have trouble, you could ask a staff member for assistance.

    Your username right now is easy to remember and type out, though. It's not so bad. But anyways, welcome to EC =)

    Cheers. I guess I'll leave it for now. My actual age is visible, after all.

    Thanks for the welcome! :slight_smile:

    Josh. i understand like i'm sure so many other people do on this site what it's like to feel like the only gay person in the whole world. but i assure you you are not alone. this site is only proof of that. would you like to add me on here as a friend? you do that by clicking on my avatar and going to my profile and hitting befriend edith. it's pretty easy. also feel free to message me if you have any questions about the site. yes I'm new too. but i'm a member of a site that's set up exactly like this one is so i know my way around. take care!
