Question - (26 September 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 27 September 2011)
A male United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Hey everyone

I'm a gay guy and I guess I find it hard to get close to other gay people and I’ve had my fair share of disastrous dates! Anyway I’ve come to realise that the only people I seem truly attracted to are people that I am friends with though they are not always close friends. My closest friends aren’t people I’d date as we would have personality clashes and their heterosexual anyway. I can look at someone and think “oh they are nice” but it isn’t until I have known them about a year that I feel I want to go further but by this point they have decided were better of as friends so nothing ever comes out of it.

I’m not into 1 night stands anymore either they just make me feel dirty and used plus I don’t want to catch anything. I’m not desperately seeking anyone at the moment, I just wondered what others think really.

Thanks

Hey thanks,

I guess i'm one of those who'd rather wait for someone it feels right with rather than waste my time with someone who doesn't. I think we've all done funny things in our lives but at least we learn from them.

aunt honesty agony auntI don't think that there is anything wrong with your views. At the end of the day you are just wanting to get to know someone properly before you get with them and this is completely acceptable. If that is the only way you are going to be comfortable with things and you are happy at the moment well then try not to worry about it. Someday you might meet someone and realise in no time that you want to be with them. The mind is a funny thing and makes us do funny things so just go with the flow and hopefully you will meet mr right sometime soon.
