    Hi all,
    Posted a similar message in the advice section but thought I'd introduce myself here as well to see if I could connect with kind and like-minded souls. I'm recently 36, one foot out of the closet, one foot in, presently bisexual, and just off the heels of my first gay relationship. And I'm really hurting. Because the experience itself has caused me to reevaluate everything. It took me about 14 years before I met anyone that I even remotely clicked with like this (and I've done my share of looking) to pursue a relationship and, for now, it's on hold. Left unfinished. A big question mark. Part of me feels like a door's been opened; part of me feels like prior experience tells me I won't find something like this, that it won't happen again. Part of me feels like even bothering trying at this stage in my life is too late. Is there anyone else who's found themselves in this situation, re-evaluating your sexuality, your possibilites at this stage in life? I feel so very lost. Input, feedback, advice, warmly welcomed. Thanks.
