    6'1", in the military, in awesome shape, good looking, witty and well read,




    and paralyzed by my secrets.

    Can anyone out there relate?

    Is this the part where I admit my sexual attraction to men?

    Lol welcome to EC. =)

    And there's nothing wrong with admitting your sexual attraction to men. Start it off here. Write it in this thread with big bold letters. Be proud. :slight_smile:

    Hey welcome to EC. I'm sure there's some who can relate as there's a few military members on here. But just stick around and start reading and posting and maybe this place can help you.

    You forgot the exclamation points, but yes, it's a start. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Did it make you feel a little bit better? :slight_smile:

    Welcome to EC - you'll find we're a friendly bunch on the whole, and you'll always find someone willing to listen and respond. Take your time, but you've taken the first step into exploring who you are.

    Hey hey,
    Welcome to EC! I like men too. (But I like women more at the moment.)
    I've been paralysed by my secrets too. And still am. But getting some of them out feels really good, you'll see. And hey, at least you've admitted to yourself that you like the same gender. It took me a loooong time to do that. :slight_smile:
    *hugs*

    Welcome! :slight_smile:

    Hi and welcome to EC. I can relate to your situation. I wasn't in the military - I was married (sort of the same, I imagine! :icon_wink). Oh, right, and with two little kids. Boot camp!

    Coming here is a good start though. I certainly found that hanging out here in EC helped me get comfortable with the fact that I was gay, and that it was OK. I realized that there were all kinds of gay guys - we're all unique in our own way, and we don't need to slot ourselves into any particular stereotype.

    Good luck, and again, welcome!

    Hello and Welcome to EC. Admitting and accepting is the first step in any journey of self discovery, so you're coming along fine. You'll find all sorts of people who you can relate to here, we are all pretty relaxed. Congratulations on coming out to yourself! :grin:
