    Hi EC!

    I was a previous lurker and I finally decided to join the forums! EC has been a huge help for me finding myself and doing some soul searching. I thought I would share a little bit of my story:

    I am currently still figuring out my sexuality-I've been coming out to my friends as mostly bisexual, however I favor men. I believe I am gay--but I have never had a homosexual relationship yet. I am so excited to explore and maybe meet a guy soon I hope. I feel as though I just lack the experience of being with another man (both in a relationship and sexually) to truly call myself gay.

    I was kind of forced out of the closet recently back in November although I am thankful for it now. It happened because a co-worker was pursuing me, confided in one of my best friends about liking me and well, everything hit the fan. BUT, I believe this situation was the push I needed to get out and I am so much happier now!

    I love video games (especially LoL), anime, and biology (graduating college this spring!)
    Just a brief bit about me-I am really excited to be here and meet some new friends :slight_smile:
    Feel free to ask me anything!

    Welcome! We especially love it when long-time lurkers join and start contributing to the conversations. We have about 15 times the number of lurkers as we have members, and so one of our goals is to get more people talking and sharing.

    I hope you stick around and share your experiences in our little community! :slight_smile:
