Roadie, you are cute. You remind me of Chandler Massey, which is a good thing.

DO! So I have more the reasons to also go to PAX!! :D

Just finished my first day of classes at college. Loved it! And doesnt hurt that there are a few cute guys in my classes. (lucky too, considering its like a 10:1 female to male ratio).

Nice! Sorry if I missed it earlier in the thread- what are you taking? My classes start tomorrow, looking forward to it more than I was earlier this week. Good to be back in the swing of things.
 
in my experience, stuff like that doesn't necessarily mean they won't be supportive. ignorance isn't permanent. mere months before i came out, my family and i were having a big discussion about gay marriage and gay adoption. my parents were saying how they were super supportive of it all, but my brother was saying really hateful things. he went as far to say that gay people shouldn't adopt, shouldn't get married, and that gay people were freaks. this made it really hard for me to come out to him. however, when i did, he seriously opened his mind up so much. he became so much more aware of gay rights and bigotry. he is extremely pro-gay now and has been suppportive from the very moment i told him. it wasn't even a process where he was initially mad and overcame it, he was supportive from the very beginning. i think some people just need something to click inside their heads. he's atheist, so that probably helped his realization a bit, i suppose.

Turns out you were right. My sister called me yesterday to say that I was her brother and that she loved me no matter what, and she apologized for making "those queer remarks" to me, unprompted. I told her I understand that she didn't mean anything by them and that they didn't hurt my feelings, only that it made me worry that she really felt that way. She reassured me repeatedly that this is not the case, and that she has several gay friends already. (who knew small town Arkansas, where my family lives, was full of gays!)

Anyway, things going really well on the family front. My other sister is still in the dark because she's off somewhere that doesn't have phones or internet at the moment, and I think I'll just leave talking to my dad until way later.

Edit: I should also mention that my mother called me last night specifically to say that if I met and started dating a man to not be afraid to bring him home to meet my family. Blown away I am.

Which means she's probably already talked to your dad. So I don't think you need to worry about that too hugely.

This is great! I'm glad it went so well for you. Hope the rest of your family will take it as well, although with such a supportive sister and mon you should be alright!

It's always nice to read about such a good experience.
 
You need neither be upset nor apologize! Because...we actually never talked that night. D: I was too scared to make the first approach, because to be completely honest, you guys kind of intimidated me, LOL. And then before I knew it, you two were gone. :( (But I was the blondie with the GAF shirt/green hoodie and slightly thicker-framed black glasses, if that sounds familiar at all.)

uhgh gughughghghhgjasfkl;jasf

Say hi next time, idiot! I am seriously like the least intimidating person of all times. I would have loved to have met you! We left because we had been there for like 2 1/2 hours and I was literally starving to death. I'm sorry that I didn't recognize you. I honestly didn't remember who was even planning to show up outside of a couple other GAFfers. Seriously, say hi next time! I'm like 5 foot 7 and weight like 2 pounds. I can't even intimidate my cat.
 
As someone who is newly single for the first time in, like, 20 years, how did you all meet your current boy/girlfriend? The adult dating game is mystifying and scary, but I guess I'm gonna leap in before too many weeks go by, just to see what happens. Excited I am, but also terrified.
 
some people like the online sites, and i've seen it work for quite a few.

i've found that going out and doing things works really well. join a book club, sports, some other meetup, or volunteer.

I'm going to be honest and say that after going into the thread where people were posting voice samples and hearing your voice, I'm now immediately intimidated by your posts. You have an amazing accent.

Online sites usually lead to scandalous hook-ups. For real dating I try sticking to my interests and school. I think all good relationships need a solid foundation in some interest/aspect both partners share. There are a couple of gaymer events and such. Oh, and if you have a friend try discussing it with them. Maybe they know someone.

What city do you live in? Why not head down to your local gay village? Also, in some cities, there are coming out support groups for older ppl.
 
I live in Arkansas, we don't have a gay village, but the idea of going to gay-owned businesses is a great idea, will try that. Also will see if there's any gaymer events around here, that would rock to meet a hunky dude who loves gaming, movies, and such as much as I! Thanks all.

I live in Georgia and we have a "gay area". I think pretty much every state/city does regardless of how rural/urban. I was told Little Rock has your state's equivalent, but I don't know how true that is.

I'm sooooooryyyyyyy. :( I don't blame you guys for leaving, since I was starving to death too! I had only had Jimmy Johns for breakfast, and kept making snide remarks about us not getting a table. Thankfully, we went for Chinese later, but that was waaaaay later.

I'm usually kind of shy, but I think it's worse when I'm going to meet other gay people, especially since that's something I am not used to. When I met some of my first (openly) gay people since my birth 21 years ago the day before the GAF meetup, I literally needed to work up 20 minutes of will power to just go in and say hi to the gays.

I think Cosmic was the more intimidating one. ;)
But you better come to next PAX so I can make up for my blunder. <3

I find this post hilarious to me, because to be completely honest...I wasn't. I...faked my accent. :( I know, I know...I'm a terrible person. I honestly don't know what kind of accent I really have, anyway...
So intimidation, be gone! But thank you.

Every now and then I wish this thread was a video chat just so my facial expressions to half the posts here could be known.

I don't know if I'll ever forgive you.

You're not going to know if you keep faking an accent! Regardless though, you do a decent impersonation job and you have a classy Clock Tower avatar, so I'll continue to be intimidated.
 
I found this guy browsing the SootheTube videos. Devastatingly handsome and sensitive. He's British but I took him for Australian. <3

You can YouTube his videos under "WhisperMister1". He does those ASMR videos that seem to be all the rage these days.

Still trying to figure that out as well. I'm new to the game too.

This guy is incredibly creepy. I don't know who thinks this whispering stuff is relaxing. It's probably the closest I've come to actual nightmare fuel.

I met my BF on an online dating website, though as others have pointed out ymmv. You said you were into bearish guys right? Could always give bear411 a shot. You may not meet the man of your dreams, but you'll probably at least find some friends in the area.

we only bite if you wait 20 minutes to say something!

I think somebody posted a video of him earlier in this thread. He was pretending to cut your hair. Very interesting.

I decided to check out one of his videos on the promise that there'd be nightmare fuel within. Whispering doesn't do anything for me, and as somebody who already has poor hearing, it's actually just rather frustrating, but I guess enough people enjoy it. That said, I seriously have no idea how a person can make a video like this and not burst out laughing.

Oh, I'm talking about the same video that _Isaac is.

Well I'm not quite so down on it. I find it incredibly dorky, but that's part of what make it cute. :p

If he enjoys doing it and people enjoy watching it, more power to him. I just find it incredibly dorky as well, and I'd never be able to keep a straight face while pretending to cut my camera's hair all while whispering.
