These COMPLETELY. Though the boyfriend and I are open, I can't just go out and have sex with anyone. Well, technically I could, but I don't want to. I generally want to at the very least have known the person for a couple of weeks and have had some good conversation with them. If I don't feel compatibility in the conversation, it's not likely to translate well into the bed.
Every 6 months or so I'll try Scruff or Grindr, will play around on it for a week or two, then get bored with the 'u lookin' or 'open relationships are disgusting' messages and move on to more interesting things.

Grindr, and dating sites in general, are what you put into them. I've made friends through Grindr, for example, that are totally non-sexual and purely based on mutual interests. If you're not clear with your intentions up front or you only try to talk to headless torsos or guys making sex faces at the camera, well -- uh -- yeah, you're going to be left disappointed, but be smart about who you engage with, what sort of person you talk to and how you respond. It can be a fantastic way to meet local people. If you're not in shape and looking to arrange a hookup before you actually meet someone, you're just asking to have your self-esteem shot to pieces.

Hey Gay-GAF!
So over the past few months I have fallen in love with my best friend. I've hid it as long as I could, but the feelings were getting me down, and he asked what was wrong with me. I opened up my heart to him, expecting to freak him out and lose him. He was very understanding, and basically told me that he was straight, we would never be more, but we would always be close friends. My problem is that I'm feeling really down, as this is the first guy I've actually really fallen for. I just feel empty and numb. I was just looking for advice on how to get over this and stop being so cynical and bitter all the time before I ruin our friendship as well.

I don't know if you guys remember, but last year there was a campaign against cancer called "Rethink Breast Cancer".
An app was also released: "Your Man Reminder".
The guys featured in the app weren't the same guys that appeared in the video [which I found pretty cute and funny] though, except for the doctor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsyE2rCW71o
I made a post about it in the previous thread:
Well, a new video and an updated app were just released for the campaign (now featuring the same guys in both formats).
Unfortunately, the video is less funny, the guys are less hot (with the exception of one or two), my waifu Anthony looks odd (his real name is Steven and he plays in a Canadian band and we are adopting 2 Vietnamese, Mexican or Korean babies) and the doctor... well, see for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3omQdVqRbDA
Anyway... as usual, when I am really bored (working from home at the moment), I always do silly things and... well... the point I am trying to make: HAWT GUYS GIFS FOR EVERYBODY!
The guys in the app appear like this (+ a small/short video):
And for our lesbians friends out there, the app includes one fully clothed female:

I was so freaking tired this morning at work that I didn't feel like doing much work-related activities, so I spent most of the morning making these GIFs:

I was in the same situation a few years ago, so I know how hard this is. To be honest it only got better after I basically cut ties with him and that was incredibly difficult. Maybe you could explain to him that you need to take a break in your friendship for a while until things settle down?
I've been in that situation exactly once. Luckily despite most of my friends being guys, i've never even considered them sexually let alone fallen in love with them.
but i know how you feel, and I'm kind of wondering how to deal with it. It's never really happened to me before either. Thing is I was totally fine as friends for awhile, but something pushed me over the edge a bit into the territory youre in. It pisses me off that I've let myself feel this way because I don't want to ruin a good friendship either. Amazing you had the courage to say how you felt so directly. I think that kind of open honesty might help me a bit, but then who knows it might not. Right now I just try and remember how things were before and get myself in that zone because I don't know what its been that tripped me across the line. There was always a little spark for me, but I could accept the fact that there wouldnt be for him.
I think a lot of it is, I wish I could meet someone like him they way that we met (work). We do a lot of wholesome things and have fun hobbies in common and stuff not some quick hookup from a bar or a website. Plus I respect him which I dont find very often and about the same age.
Anyway, things are returning to our more plutonic zone before a bit I like to think, I do think about him more than I should in ways that I shouldnt. I've been through this with another gay friend of mine before, but we were never as close as friends as this friend is.

Seems that yet another friend has decided to turn their back on me and cut all communication for no reason at all. Seriously, fuck this year and this city.
Same but by meself
wow, lol
edit: I get that to, especially "where is your girlfriend???? Hmm, thats why you want to go to chicago, your 'wife' is waiting?" I just laugh it off and mutter "WHHY"

Why did I make the subject of my philosophy paper the "hard problem of consciousness"? I thought arguing for metaphysical agnosticism would make it easier but instead it made it harder since I have to essentially examine every theoretical claim from which to build my own claim for why they are unsatisfying.
neutral monist process ontology/panexperientialism, fuck philosophy.

Hah. You obviously haven't met me.
My best friends are all hideous so I've never had this problem either.
But serious answer I've never had this issue even with my good looking friends. Knowing that someone's straight or a lesbian just basically kills any interest in them. I don't know what it is but knowing someone's sexuality lines up is a turn on for me. I could just be weird. Blessed, but weird.
This is the second time I've hit it off with a guy who shortly thereafter bailed for a vacation, worrying me into thinking our connection would all but evaporate upon his return.
The first time, things definitely weren't the same when he got back. But that was mostly because I'd changed and had time apart from him to think. This time...man, we only even had just the one date but connected so well. I hate basically having to stop right out of the starting gate and wait now to see if there's really something there for date two! lol. I'll make it till next week, somehow.
Would you guys wait a few days after the dude was back to see if he messaged you, or appear super-interested and message the first or second day back? I want to walk that scary line between appearing uninterested, and appearing fucking obsessive-crazy.
Also, wanted to add, I'm bummed that things aren't going well for some of us (based on the last page), but I feel like a ton of great advice followed in the subsequent posts; I dig/appreciate the time people take in this thread to advise/coach each other. Not many threads like it.

Since friendship and rejection is the newest trend here,
So, a friend of mine was telling me about his friend and he said he's in love with him. He also said that his friend is a LOT like me. I don't like him or anything like that, but he reminded me that it's always the same for me. People want someone like me, but not me. I'm never good enough for anyone...

Luke, Jerald, and Daniel for me.
Some female friends in high school used to tell me that, too.
Memories...
I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate shit like this. From your point of view I mean. I would say just wait a day or something and then ask how his vacation was. The uncertainty of not knowing whether or not someone actually wants to continue hanging out is a killer, in my experience. It totally bothers me when I notice that I'm the one initiating conversation :/ and then I go "well shit this isn't good".

The second fun. album was a complete disappointment for me. I loved the first album. Didn't help that We Are Young is the most overplayed song ever. I prefer the stuff he did in The Format.

Hmm. I've never heard of The Format (I'll def check them out though) but I liked the second Fun album quite a bit. Their first was was just okay.
This was my first Thanksgiving back home since we moved back, and it was the first time that Greg helped Mom with the cooking. The two of them as a team got rave reviews from the family all-around. I also got to spend some time with my new god-daughter, and we all laughed the ridiculous Detroit-Houston game. I ate entirely too much, too.
This year has been very rough on me emotionally, but it was probably one of my best days of the year. I'm feeling recharged.
Message him on the day after he gets back. If anything, I've learned that doing something innocent like this and then regretting it is better than not doing something and living on to wonder "what if." If he really likes you, this should be no big deal.

It's a sad state of affairs ending the night in bed with a girl. Thankfully, I just wanted to sleep.

listening to a fun album is like eating a whole block of chocolate by yourself. By the end of it you just want to vomit.

What are your opinions/experiences on going back to someone who was an ass to you?
There's a guy I dated for about a couple of weeks, before I met my boyfriend of 5 years, then he basically disappeared from the face of the earth. I later saw him making out with another boy at a party.
He later apologized a couple of times, saying that he realized he was an idiot, etc, etc. But I was with my bf already by then. Last time I had contact with him was about 3 years ago, he sent me a message on FB saying he wanted to to smooth things over and be friends and I was like: lol, no, I don't trust you so I can't be your friend. (Maybe I acted like an ass then).
Anyway, I'm single now and I think I never really got over him, mostly because I always wondered "what happened? did I do something wrong? what if...?". I still think it's a terrible idea though

I think I'm going for a militairy haircut next week. I know it won't look good on me but I'm trying to distance myself from my looks as much as possible. Good idea?
You just have to know that the truth changes constantly. What was true then isn't necessarily true now.
