Is the gay dating scene getting worse or is it just me?

    I went to the wet and wild hike today. There was about 50 people there. All very friendly. Highly reccomend the group.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Yeah. Though all men. Lovely group but they need to try a bit stronger on gender balance. All very friendly.

    How do you mean? Is it not a gay mens meetup. Why would gay men want to meet women?

    No. It classifies itself as LGBTQ+

    Dating talk episode 103:

    Went on a date with a very handsome lad. But, out of the blue, he sort of bragged about how many guys he slept with in the past month and talked about how he's open to open relationships. As a pretty romantic, monogamous lad, that freaked me out. For me, they are two of the worst things a person could say on a date with me. That's not judgement - that's personal preference and personality. Part of me decided to pay and grab my coat. I really thought we weren't looking for the same things. He kissed me suddenly. The chemistry was amazing. We slept together. Long story short, we had a great time, including outside of the bedroom. We're going to see more of each other.

    Sleeping with a lad early on is not my preference for reasons. It partially feels very counterintuitive to me. I feel like I'm walking backwards downstairs. I don't mind trying it other ways or his way but I just hope I don't get lead off a cliff.

    *trying hard to reject notions of fear and being lead by hope*

    Well mate the proof is in the pudding. Sounds like there is chemistry but at minimum you are cognisant there are some flaws in him. Hope it goes well x

    I will sometimes make a half arsed effort when dating. Then there are times when I meet someone though and my heart just skips. Heartily Ive been rearing myself on a diet of sex and porn and other assorted activities since been single the last few years. Rare that I find someone that I want to date despite me going on a few dates (mostly just out of curiosity) however had two dates with a guy and I misread the signals. Hes into chasers , hes a bearish type. There I am flirting last night and I had not called it a date though. Mea culpa! I misread everything - I think I enjoyed wearing my heart on my sleeve that I had no done in a while!!! He is the type of bloke I can be friends with though, I can see the qualities in him I like . !
