Though I usually go to Lares with friends, for the icecream. I still go for the basic flavors, but they got codfish and rice & beans.
Hahaha, welcome (back) to PR.Sseklebeast said:Ooh yeah I got ice cream when I was there!I saw some Arroz con gondules flavored ice cream but I didn't have the balls to try it.
The flavor I picked was pink but I forgot what the heck it was.
I remember my head was shaved at that time and my head ended up getting scorched lol. It was pretty funny.

I feel like a triple minority in that sense [gay black and a nerd] and while the topic of being gay and nerds are at hand, does anyone here have plans to go to New York comic con in October?

I would, if someone I know would play. We've had it since last year but we're still HR 4, I think. I haven't played it and concentrated on other stuff, but I really just want to play it now. I'm trying to convince another friend to get it, but he's always broke.Sseklebeast said:Aw lol. Sorry MH = Manhunt. I don't go on there much anymore though..log in once in awhile to check messages.
Do you play Monster Hunter 3 Tri dragon?

October 13-16. For 3 days Friday Saturday and Sunday its $65 other wise Friday and Sunday is $35 and Saturday is $50. And buy them before September 16th or you have to wait on that massive line at the Javits Center. For $85 you can go on Thursday[the preshow]- Sunday.

These are all very good signs, methinks.ciD_Vain said:oh my god. cutest thing happened to me today... throughout the whole day, i've been having a text message conversation with disneyland guy. i've never actually met him yet in person as we've met on Grindr and since then we've exchanged numbers and have just been talking through text messages. while i was at work, he texts me saying how he wants to see me but he currently has no car. i asked him if he wanted me to pick him up, but he said he wouldn't want me to drive really late at night just to hang out for a little bit, and then drop him back home, so i said ok maybe next time. an hour and a half before i got off of work he texts me "surprise!" then "i don't see you" and i reply "huh? don't mess with me, you're not here. i don't see you!" he replies, "oh...i think i'm at the wrong one..." he tried surprising me with a visit at work but ended up at the wrong Starbucks...LOL. funny thing is, he ended up at the one my brother works at. I told him that the one i work at is literally all the way down the other side, 2 cities over. he says that he's sorry he failed, but i replied saying at least you tried. he tells me he's going to the gym since that was his original plan, and i let him be so he can work out without me bugging him.
20 minutes later, he sends me a text saying "i see you" i look outside the window and he's sitting outside smiling back at me. my face flushed red and my coworker starts wondering what's wrong with me. Haha. i tell him that i'm off in an hour, and he says that he'll wait for me. that last hour had my heart pounding. he's even hotter in real life, his smile is even cuter up close, and his personality is not nearly as "bad boy" as i pictured. i was so nervous to actually spend time with him in person that i kept dropping things at work and tripping over stuff. after i got off, i go outside and i see him sitting in a truck. he tells me that his sister let him borrow her truck which is how he got to see me. he tells me that i'm so cute that i make him nervous and intimidated. i couldn't help myself because at one point we caught each other just staring and smiling, admiring each other's company. it was a really cute first meeting and it went a lot better than i had imagined.
he asks me out on a dinner date but i tell him i don't want to go with my work clothes on. he says he doesn't care and thinks i look cute in it. lol. we eventually decide for some fast food at Sonics; he buys me my food and we sit down and have our first personal talk. we talk about our families, where we came from, and our previous relationships. he got really sad when he started talking about his recent car accident that caused him to start taking physical therapy classes, so i hugged him and he embraced me so warmly- we didn't let go for a good while, we just kept hugging and it felt so good. eventually, our little date ended. before he went to the truck, he motioned for a hand shake and said "it's nice to finally meet you", he smiled and then walked off.

Alcoori said:In my opinion you should encourage him but not force him. Coming out is a very personal decision and outing him to his family will most likely have negative repercussions on your relationship.
Has he any reason for not coming out to his parents? Are they valid at all? Try to reason with him and tell him that you'll be there for him whatever happens. Coming out is daunting for some people, I'm sure it was to you so maybe try to understand where he's coming from.
Also, how old is he? Is he independent financially?
He's more likely to feel comfortable coming out to his parents if you're supporting him instead of putting pressure on him. And that's the right thing to do anyway.moniker said:How much can you press your SO to come out to his parents without being an asshole?

I don't think he has any other reason than cowardice to be honest. But he's the stoic kind and if I bring it up he doesn't have anything to say to me on the subject.
I do try to understand were he's coming from, and I know it can be hard, but we're both soon 30 and living together. I just feel that if intends to stick with me, telling his parents shouldn't be that hard, especially at our age ...
Oh well, I guess it's not that big of a deal (in day-to-day life), even if I'd rather be part of his family.

Sai-kun said:*slow clap*
Well said, Royal. I'm gonna have to agree. You might not need an ultimatum like "I'm gonna break up with you", maybe it's time for him to grow up a little.
Honestly, I feel the same way about my BF. It seems like he's out to everyone (close friends/family at least, and it's listed on his FB), but I still feel like there's some separation. He's known my 3/4 closest friends almost as long as I've known them (although I introduced him to them), and I know roughly...1 of his friends, who I've hung out with for all of 10 minutes total throughout the years we've been together. I've been kind of 'over it', because it's not a huge deal, but when I sit down here and think about it...that's kinda fucked up, and it pisses me off. A lot of his friends are gamers, too, so it's not like we wouldn't have anything to talk about.
:/ It's like the one aspect of our relationship that just doesn't sit well with me. And I know, I know, I should talk to him about it, but it just seems so trivial. I don't *need* to hang out with his friends, and honestly it wouldn't be convenient since they all live on the opposite side of the city, but it'd sure be nice to be introduced to them and to hang out and have fun with them.
royalan said:It bothers you. That alone is reason enough for it to be a big deal. And it seems like you're trying to talk yourself out of it being a big deal.
It would be a big deal to me, honestly. I'm not advocating that couples do everything together (I hate that shit). But, with that said, you guys have been together for years and you've only met ONE of his friends once?
Yeah, that'd piss me off. Either he's ashamed of you for some reason (in which case, he's a loser), he's ashamed of his friends (in which case, he thinks too much), or he doesn't realize that you want to be included sometimes. You should talk to him.

http://www.queerty.com/adorable-20-...um=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+queerty2+(Queerty)Every Friday 20-year-old Salt Lake City resident Dane Hall attended the gay Friday night party at Club Sound. When he left, four men approached him and began yelling faggot before they punched him in the back of the head, grabbed his shirt and began punching Hall repeatedly in the face. When Hall fell to the ground, one of his attackers put his open mouth on the curb and curb stomped him, knocking out six of his teeth, shattering his cheekbone, breaking his jaw in three places, and jamming a piece of his jawbone in his brain. Two other attackers repeatedly kicked Hall in the stomach before stealing his ID and $40 and running away.
Sai-kun said:Couples doing everything doesn't bother me, because I like hanging out with him so much, but obviously everybody needs their space and some 'alone' time, and I do as well, so I don't mind that we only hang out once a week or so.
Another reason I wouldn't really want to bring it up is because although I'd love to hang out with his friends and him, I don't want him to feel like he HAS to invite me to everything, because he doesn't, and I would tell him that, but I think that he would feel pressure from me to do that (even though I wouldn't be pressuring him at all).
Fuck, I dunno. Neither of us are always completely honest with our emotions, I don't think. i've gotten a lot better at opening up to him and telling him if I'm feeling down or frustrated with something else, but if something he does bothers me, I just try to brush it off.
:/
How do you think I should broach the subject? Is it okay to bring it up over text message or should I just wait until the next time we hang out?royalan said:Ugh, this just makes me want to rage.
http://www.queerty.com/adorable-20-...um=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+queerty2+(Queerty)
Ugh...
I think you should open up to him more, before these things become not-so-easy to ignore. I mean, you don't have to put pressure on him and make him feel like he has to invite you, but...again, meeting one friend one time after years of being together is a little...odd.
