    Just introducing myself, Jay, to the rest of this new community that I've become part of. I joined here because I felt like I needed to talk to people that have been where I am and can hopefully help me through a difficult time in my life, coming to terms with my sexuality. I'm 20 years old, but I feel like a fresh teenager because until recently, I was not sure what I was doing in my life. I'm here to get myself comfortable with who I am and to sulk up as much knowledge and advice as I can. Thanks for your time!

    Thanks guys, I really appreciate the welcome. And RealityCheck, you can love DFW area, but I hate it lol. I wish i could find some of my high school classmates to see if any of them are gay, because i certainly dont know any except my cousin who stays in Chicago.

    The hottest guy I have ever seen was working at a Mall off of 820 in the Aveda Salon I believe. You need to look a little harder. That place is covered up with gay hotness:icon_bigg Most of the people I know there live in Southlake. Get out and about my boy.

    Hehe, I suppose you can speak to it better than I can. I wish there was some manual or "how to" on how to find and meet people lol. I dont help myself of course because I have sorta shut myself off from a lot of my friends (I dont even have a facebook lol). Hopefully when my cousin comes down from Chicago soon, I will ask him how was he able to deal while he lived down here =D

    Welcome to the family, Jay, it's great you're here :slight_smile: Feel free to wonder around a chat away.


    There's a few of us resident hetros dotted around the site, but we don't bite :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Hey Jay, welcome to EC :slight_smile: This is a great place, I joined about half a year ago when I wasn't that comfortable with my sexuality, but this site really gave me the support and advice I needed to finally come to terms with it. I hope it'll help you too :grin:

    Hi Jay. :slight_smile:
    Welcome to EC!
    Hm, I always thought that Dallas (and the combined Ft. Worth area) was pretty liberal and accepting. Although, I've only visited a handful of times...

    It is for the most part, but I don't actually stay in Dallas, but close to it. I stay in the type of town where you never see two gay people (at least openly gay). I have a liberal family, but they are very ignorant about gay people and I'm afraid to ever come out to them because I know how they talked when one of my cousins came out like 7 years ago.

    The only person I know that wont be stupid is my mom, I dont know how she will react, but I know she will always love me no matter what. She even asked me if I was gay a long time ago, I told her no of course, but she told me even if I was, she would love me no matter what. I know she knows that something is up because she has never met any of my girlfriends (I've never had a serious one) and she never questions why I'm not anything like my brother who is almost too straight (a bunch of kids between two girls). I just don't see a reason to tell her yet, when I'm not dating anyone and it will only cause her to ask a bunch of questions that I don't even know the answer to yet.:eusa_doh:

    Oh and thanks for the welcomes everyone! Just being a part of this community has made me more comfortable with myself already =)
