Don't post in this thread to say "gay gamers are like everyone else, why do they have a special thread?" It is something that has been posted numerous times, and this isn't the place for that discussion.
For regular posters, don't quote the trolls. |

Ah yes, sobering advice time: Hollywood lies. Relationships don't magically happen out of nowhere with the first guy you meet. But that's ok! Just keep an open mind and enjoy yourself. The nerves kinda suck, but they're ultimately a good thing. Your body is excited just like you should be And I think you have a good perspective so you should be ok.

I'm sorry this is cutting into the discussion up there but I hope this makes everyone's day as much as it made mine.

Gay engineers represent?
Woot represent! I hated triple integrals in Vector Calc...I spent too much time making my work look too good and when problems took about thirty minutes a piece to solve, it took me like an hour to write cause I wanted everything to look super neat >.< My favorite thing was Green's Theorem and Partial Derivatives. We spent all year going over the stuff I felt was harder and finished the term doing stuff like that. Most of the people in my class fell apart over Green's Theorem, wasn't quite sure how...it was just a Theorem based off of Partial Derivatives...

I think most of us have experienced that or are going through it. And those who aren't will eventually be there (its not as dreadful as you think and I live in the boondocks in the South where people have couches in their front yard and shotguns in the back of their car!)

I'm having the same issue breaking it to my best friend. Like everybody in the world knows except him and I still can't tell him (its just never fitting it seems >.<)

Just both of you get super drunk and tell him. It's how I managed to tell my best friend. We were at a bar...we had WAY too much to drink, and I just slurred it at him.

I've actually never been drunk with my best friend to be honest. He's like the only person I don't drink with. When we hang out, some people believe us to be drunk or high though. You know you have a good friend when you only talk about getting drunk when hanging out with other people and not your best friend! Or maybe that's just my view on life >.<

I agree . I went on my first gay date a couple years ago and I felt so nieve then. I've been on a few dates since then, and while I haven't found a serious boyfriend yet, I feel confident enough to ask people out and go on dates.
You'd better update us on how it goes !

Yeah, good luck, and give us a report :D
Dating is indeed trial and error. I've had many flings and boyfriends; some are not cute enough, some are too nice or too needy, some there just isn't the spark... it's not easy to combine everything.

Yeah, I'm trying not to expect too much. Though I've been debating whether it's worth it to have a less-than-ideal fling just so I can get some experience under my belt (ahem) instead of trying to wait for someone I'm super crazy about, haha.
But I will definitely report back, unless it's like absolutely terrible. Thanks for the support, all!

Just heard this from one of my best friends.... LOVED it so much decided I'd share it with you guys!
"Asking who is the 'man' and who is the 'woman' in a gay relationship is like going into a Chinese restaurant and asking which chopstick is the fork"

Honestly, don't expect much out of a first date with anybody (I'm assuming you don't already know this person that well). If you come out of the date moderately interested, it's worth going on a second date IMO. First dates are always a little awkward.
Short term relationships are ok, as long as both parties understand that's what it is .

Totally understand. Sometimes it feels pointless to get drunk when you already have so much fun with someone sober. But yeah, first time I came out to a good friend was because I was super drunk and just said it. It was pretty silly.

Came out to my best friend when I was drunk and everything worked out, but it wouldn't have mattered either way. Just needed the liquid courage I guess. If they're a real friend then they'll understand, and if not, F'em.

Yeah. I'm just waiting for the right time to tell him. Though I'm back to, I'm too afraid to lose him as a good friend right now, I just lost like all my gaming friends cause they quit all games to go play League and I can't stand Defense of the Ancient style games...so it'll be even longer til I tell him, but still, there really hasn't been a good time to just say it so I'm not worried about it at all

"Asking who is the 'man' and who is the 'woman' in a gay relationship is like going into a Chinese restaurant and asking which chopstick is the fork"
Haha, that's a good one.

So Jared Polis , one of the main opponents of SOPA currently in Congress and a gamer is also gay. Not that it matters, just something for gay pride.

So reporting back: first first date was eeeeeehh. We didn't really click too well for whatever reason, and we never did a good job of breaking the initial awkwardness, so it didn't end up being too satisfying. I could tell that he was sort of nervous and locked up (so was I), so I don't really know if that was the reason why we didn't click, or if we just aren't compatible.
Bleh. I felt like we have enough in common that we could be at least good friends, but I just didn't know how to break through the awkward. So... yeah. That's the report. Meh, there will be other dates.
