I'd rather go out with someone "stupid" but caring and hilarious than someone intelligent but insufferable and mean ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No one will ever love me.

Haha, one with gender. Gay asexual.
If you're gay, then that would counter the asexual part.

What you seem to be describing is that you don't have any preferences for the physical attributes in the men you might find attractive, because the attraction comes from common interests. Right?

Homoromantic asexual - wants an SO of the same gender but isn't sexually attracted to anyone

Can you really call early 90s 8bit music house music though?
I'd say that's pretty house-y

I want to listen to the KLF now

So I asked the cute guy out from the club...and he said that he was already in a relationship, which I kinda don't buy.

Brb, fucking CRYING

I'm only attracted to people that like Lana Del Rey. Have fun with with your arianal grande-stanning morons, you fucking plebs.
Why don't you date the guy I sit next to in English then?

Maybe homoromanttic asexuality or demisexuality.

Sorry about that. Hopefully there's some closure on that so your feelings change naturally rather than continuing, the hardest thing in these situations I find.

I have the biggest hard-on for stupid elaborate transformation sequences and I don't know why.

Sometimes I think I'm the worst person but then I remember that I fucking revel in being the worst person.
Nothing to be ashamed about, we all watched Sailor Moon.
Pretty sure bouncing breasts and butt crack on 1000 year old dragons are shameful.

When I saw "gay," I thought there was some implicit sexual desire.
 
I went to my first LGBT support meeting today, and came out as gay for the first time outside the Internet. It was mostly high school teenagers there and I'm 23 but, still feelsgoodman :)

I should go to the one at my university. Their last event was a barbecue though, and I chickened out because that didn't feel like the appropriate place to come out. So I had to force myself to go to this one. Feel like a champ!

In other news, that new AlunaGeorge album isn't half bad.

I downloaded it but still need to give it a listen. I did a remix of I'm in control that I'm excited to put out

So the super cute guy I was dating turned out to not be interested, which made me realize how badly I was crushing on him despite only having met a few times.
Meanwhile the other guy I'm seeing who's a lot easier to talk, has more shared interest and is quite obviously more into me, I just can't muster up any excitement about.
Damn my superficial brain... Now I'm just feeling shitty all around

I went to my (straight) best friend's house today and decided it was finally time to just bite the bullet and come out. I was worried sick that me being gay would scare him or something, and I was kind of a mess at the time, he's my best friend and the very last thing I would want is to lose him. He was absolutely brilliant about it though. I was there just shaking and crying, he was trying his best to keep me calm and told me that everything is okay, that there was no problem with me being gay, that he had another gay friend and that he had a feeling I was gay anyway. We hugged it out and then watched a movie for a bit.

I don't have much of a social life but I feel really lucky to have a friend like him. :)

I changed my grinder profile picture to something more trashy and woah, I've been getting more messages than before... lol.

It's interesting, I suppose.

Congrats! Just don't develop too strong feelings for him. Crushin on your straight best friend is a fate worse than death.

Also, Seath, when are we going to have a proper date? I really want to be a disappointment to someone and you're probably my best bet!

So I was starting to read Fables and literally in the first issue there's these three panels where Prince Charming and a waitress have sex. The dialogue is something else...
C: "I've always believed a truly accomplished nobleman should hone his cockmanship every bit as his swordsmanship."

C: "In each case one should know when it's better to thrust or parry or bind.

C: When it's time to riposte."


W: "I don't know what Riposte means, but don't you dare withdraw yet!"


C: "And of course, when it's time to finally commit all to the--deep--lunge."


W: "Yippee!

My hero."
Need me a freak like that.

This is something I hear from a lot of gay men. Chasing someone who doesn't want you or is unavailable, while not being attracted to local (i.e. available) gays, or not wanting more than a hook-up from guys like that. When I spoke to my ex recently, I wasn't really surprised he was like that, too, but I found it interesting that he also acknowledged the problem, just like beril did. He was all too aware of it. I guess "knowing is half the battle", or at least it should be that way, but what can one do in such situations?

beril, do you think you'd need more time just for yourself, I mean, to figure yourself out until you know what you want? Or was it always like that? I don't mean to offend or anything, just curious.

You did it! I'm so happy for you :D

As I said before, he's your best friend for a reason. I totally get the anxiety, and I know how it can be that much worse with someone you love and trust like that, but the paranoia is always just that, paranoia. I need to get better at talking to my best friend about things like this too. I will say that it's always nice to know that someone has similar fears to you, haha.

Anyway, yeah. This is great news! <3

Good reception from friends is always a nice feeling.

Thanks guys :) The feeling of relief after telling him made my week for sure.

@dryuriev

Yeah, I know not to develop intimate feelings for him. I think of him as like a brother though, so I'm not sure it's possible. :p

@RobotNinjaHornets

As I said, it was a massive relief to finally tell him. Only thing is, I'm asking myself if I should have told him sooner but eh, it's done. I now feel I can be completely transparent with him. (Well almost anyway, I'm not going to, like, tell him what porn I've been watching lmao.)

So yeah, was scared shitless but everything worked out.

Well I don't think more time alone is really the solution for me. I hadn't been on a date for over a year before these last few weeks, and never had a relationship. And since I live and work alone I hardly see other people at all. I really need to get out there and meet more people, but I'm now reminded of how mentally and emotionally exhausting it is.

It alwaya happens! God certainly loves irony.

The solution, as exhausting as it is, is to go out and meet more people.

I have to say I envy you, you are video game developer working at home, but that comes with the baggage of just not being able to socialize that much.
 
I think I would disappoint you first than you disappointing me! lol :p

Also, I need to see your OW skills first and determine if you are good enough. I won't date someone who's bad at overwatch! :p
Perhaps we should have a formal competition: who can disappoint the other the most?!

Also every time I get on OW you never seem to be on. We gotta coordinate that shit!

Ah, sorry, I assumed the opposite. Yeah, what you're saying makes sense. Putting yourself out there is always exhausting, but you never know who you're going to meet. Who knows, maybe someone worthwhile is just around the corner!
