Thanks guys. I don't feel terrible about it, my feelings haven't been as strong as they were for my previous crush (who happens to be one of my best friends right now). I guess it wil fade quickly, or at least I hope so. Still will try to get more info of him, though I already know that it won't go anywhere, because if he liked men it wouldn't mean that he is interested in me. For example today he criticized me because I'm not an eloquent person because I express my ideas in an unorganized manner and sometimes I'm too direct when I say something. I guess he likes self-confident people. Before that we were at the auditorium and a friend was seated between us. I had two of my best friends on the other side. The friend between us left and then he looked at me and told me with his hand to seat next to him, he knew that I was leaving my friends. It happens that I made noises there and I tried to apologized to him for interrupting and that's when he said those words to me.

It's confusing, to have this guy being all nice to me but then he starts saying those things. And I still got feelings for him.

I can only say that crushes get easier with time, hell, I'm basically over my co-worker crush, whereas before I couldn't go a day without thinking about him, now I'm just like "meh, he exists, we're friends and that's it" and be ok with that, I've been always someone who gets over crushes fairly fast and I tend to forget the person ever existed, though at this point no one is ever going to hold my attention for long for a committed relationship then :/

Getting over crushes easily and one's capacity for fidelity don't even seem tangentially related to me to be honest. Crushes are insubstantial.

haha oh daripad!

Listen, from what I know on this forum you are one of the coolest and smartest guys here. Nothing beats having the butterflies of having someone like you, yet not knowing if the person likes you in exchange...misinterpreting small gestures as acts of trying to get your attention.

In my opinon life's too short, and instead of wasting time wondering about this crush go after the person who has a crush on YOU...let your time go to someone who wants your awesomeness!
 
Well, look on the bright side: You're straight.

30 is death in gay years and I'm 32! :p
LOLLL! "You're straight."

It's sad that some people in the gay community actually do consider this true.

I, for one, have been attracted to so many guys in their 30's o____o.
 
I was playing Smash and my mom came into the room and saw that I was using peach and she was like "why are you using the girl??? you know that means you feel like a girl mentally" and I just said "mom... get out" and she got offended and left I'm supposed to be nice to her because i need somewhere to live but damn she's making it so hard lmao

what does it mean death?
It's kinda of a bad idea around that as a gay man, at 30 you're too old for the young guys and too young for the older ones. So, if you're single you basically don't exist for others. :p

It's a false premise (and kind of a cliche) that sadly some actually enforce it; making other people believe it.


Listen I have earned my honorary gay status!
Yep. Nice eye candy too. ;D

I can't believe in two years I'll be thirty.

Don't you worry, the best is yet to come :)

Explosive in more ways than one ;D
o____o

Ooooh you mean like the cake and cookies I made for my friend who moved away last year?! :D

Looks like I'm making your cake this year! ;D

I'm totally the exact same way! All I really want is the company of my friends and family every year! It's the best gift ever :3

I actually agree, it's by far the best gift ever :)

Well, if you do make one, be sure to take a photo! I really like those dick cookies dipped in chocolate, hahahah :D Awesome.

And as for the part in the spoilers,
hell... yeah :D I'm quite sure it would be a megaton, dear sir \o/

The crush will go away soon, trust me. You'll be OK. Try to rationalize the entire situation and see his behavior for what it really is: friendly behavior. If someone likes you, it's usually obvious, at least a little bit. I was in a similar situation up until recently, and now I finally realize I interpreted every act like a potential sign, but of course, my friend was only being friendly towards me, nothing more.

And yes, crushes suck for the most part ;_;

My dad used to get a bit disturbed when I played as Coco Bandicoot in CTR for the original PlayStation. I loved her hair, and outfit so I would always pick her when ever I got the chance. I remember he saw me playing with her and he was like,"Why didn't you pick all of the other guys?! Why do you want to be girl, did they force you to pick her?" It looked like he wanted to smash my PS before I caught "DA GAY" lol

He was a very sweet man and I miss him greatly, but he was pretty homophobic/transphobic tbh. (I know that sounds contradictory, but I loved my dad. Even with his flaws.)

Sometimes I jokingly "kiki talk" around my mom, but she doesn't seem to like it. Seems like she's fine with me liking boys as long as I don't "act like a girl". :p

I swear that spoiler came out of nowhere

Telling my brother was never really on the table. Guess I just wanted advice on whether I should approach my nephew in a roundabout way, or just ignore the fact that I saw what I saw and allow things to play out how they'll play out. I guess I'm just going to go with the latter.

I say you shouldn't tell your brother or approach your nephew. Just think how awesome/creepy it's going to be when your nephew sits down the family to tell them he is gay/bi, and you can interrupt and tell him you know because you've been monitoring his porn for 10 years.

1. You are right, I'm just over analizing every movement he does towards me. I should just go with the flow and become his friend.
2. Ok I'll have to accept those girls who have a crush on me lol. But seriously, I can't develop feelings on the people I know and like men because they don't fit into the kind of people I would be friends with.

It sucks :( I.need to get him out of my head so I can focus on the important stuff.

Yeah, I'm familiar with those crazy leaps in logic from a mother :p It's important for you to stand up for yourself and let her gently know what is/isn't ok to say, just proceed with caution and don't take it too far into hostility.

My younger cousin (he's about 14 now) ALWAYS played as Peach and Daisy when playing multiplayer Mario franchises. My aunt and uncle seemed to consistently bring it up and always asked why he played as the girl characters. At any given opportunity, I would put them on blast for it and that always seemed to quiet them down a bit.

They'll stop laughing when you kick their ass 4-0 in 3v1. *stealthbrag*

The correct answer was "You use knives, for that reason you clearly love to stab people."

Yeah that isn't more tactful but I don't suffer a fool unless I get to make them feel stupid and inadequate.

My boyfriend turned 30 last Friday, I'll be 30 September next year.
It's funny because we've been together since I was 19 (he was 21) and back then I liked daddies. He jokes now that he's turning into a daddy, but he looks exactly the same (Asians don't really age).

I wonder if her reaction would have been the same if you played, let's say, Ivy in Soul Calibur. The one with the huge gaboongas. I love her battle-style.

But, yeah, this is grade-A facepalm material there.

I wonder if people saying this kind of things are stupid or just ignorant?

It's wishful thinking, unfortunately. I can't tell you how many times my mom tried to read into things during my slow and arduous coming out process.

Of course id take a photo! :D!! LOLL I was going to dip all of it in chocolate, but then my friends suggested just the tip and I couldn't stop laughing :p!

most certainly o_______o!

My ma plays videogames at times, and she likes Soul Calibur a lot. She was... Rather surprised when I selected Ivy, and I justified my choice by saying that she's got a rather unique fighting style. She responded by stating that she has the least practical outfit for fighting ever devised. Ever. But she didn't really care much (Because she was Nightmare, and beat me rather easily).

By contrast, my da would have pestered me for ages over that choice, asking as to why I don't play my usual man who is also a lizard.

... Parents! Tsk.

Homosexuality in Bhutan.

Bhutan has always interested me, such a tiny, pretty country (and apparently with very spicy food! We should make a spicy food contest between Bhutan and Mexico >:D). But pretty much no surprise there. As with other Asian countries, IMO the fact that they're profoundly ignorant about homosexuality is something that can be more easily corrected than people thinking it's sin, against the will of your deity of choice, etc.

Not entirely related, but fun fact: China has had multiple openly gay Emperors, and homosexuality only became taboo during its industrialization period.

Blame the communists and their "homosexuality is an invention of capitalism" horseshit.

Of course I blame the communists for everything after World War II so eh.

Ok so today was my crush's birthday and I didn't know about it beforehand I feel crushed
heh

That means I'll slowly stop having feelings for him just because I feel guilty. I hope to never have a crush on someone again
well not really, but I hope I don't develop strong feelings for a straight guy again

I'm of the belief that you kind of... decide, or at least allow yourself to crush on someone. At least to the point where it becomes a problem. Or maybe I just never crush on anyone :( Which in any case might be a good problem to have :p
