Dating

"So I've decided that I'm not interested in "dating" anymore. Before you click your back button, let me explain :-)

In my experience, "dating" in the gay community all too often means going out to dinner with somebody and developing this huge crush on each other, one person spending the night at the other's place about a week later, and then the race is on to cram a 10-year relationship into about one or two months, at which time you finally get to know enough about each other to know that it will never work, so you break up and both end up hurt, confused, and unable to "date" for the next 6-12 months.

Sound familiar to anybody? Admit it, many of us have rushed into things, I'm guilty of it myself. But, I'm done with that crap. "Dating" puts blinders on people and prevents them from seeing anything other than a quick romance or sex. Instead, my preference is to meet a few new quality guys, and truly get to know them as friends and people first. If we become great friends, wonderful! If we become boyfriends over time, also wonderful! It's all about being open-minded, and taking the time to let things happen naturally.

If this sounds interesting to anybody, then I hope you'll say hello! See ya..."
