    Hi, everyone. So I am brand new, and have never even been a part of a forum site before so have no idea how it works. :icon_sad:

    Anyway I guess I'll introduce myself, sort of. I identify as bisexual, yet have never been in a relationship with another man. Also every relationship I've had with a woman, I've taken really slow. So slow I didn't even have my first kiss until this past May, and we had been dating over a year. Right now I'm looking for a relationship with another man, but not sure how to go about doing so.

    Anyways, thanks for listening, hope to talk to some of you. :thumbsup: :smilewave

    Welcome! Slow and steady wins the race.

    As for using the forum, it's kind of straightforward. It's best to first browse a lot and start posting in other threads if you feel comfortable. There are even anonymous areas where you can ask things that seem too personal. Learning from others experiences helps you to compare and contrast your own situation.

    Next, you'll probably want some individual advice, so try going to the specific subforum and making a new thread there. The tricks to getting replies are a descriptive title, writing clearly with paragraphs and explaining background info (don't assume others know what you're referring to or have even read your other posts), and asking clear questions on what you want help on.

    At first, things may seem frustrating because it takes a while for replies to trickle in (there will always be more "views" than replies), but eventually you will begin to have a discussion. Also, it's important to realize that the written word leaves out a lot of subtext, so sometimes people may be joking or seem too serious/harsh when they don't mean to. Luckily, EC is pretty good about controlling trolls or other rude people.
