sandbox GAYS

was totally going tongue-in-cheek up there.... I'm enough of an optimist (when it comes to individuals) to usually want to be friendly to ppl, despite what a snake I am on the internets.

You aways make me smile, Stevie!

My life is becoming filled w gay men btw. At the end of the week I am moving into my new place with this too-cute-for-his-own-good 40something hipster artist type (who is maybe a bit in his own world) and we've sort of become each others new platonic gay buddies. There's another guy living there too (the dude's ex and now friend) but he's only there 3 days a week so it'll mainly just be me and my new gay bro. Kinda excited about having a live-in fag to talk about boys and bikes and clothes with. Also he's good at cooking!

And then there's my dude 5c0tt; we've been dating for 3 wks and I feel like in so many ways he's the guy I've been waiting a while for. We hang out almost every day and we're both excited about doing things together and stuff. I really really really like this dude.

xp aw, you too bud!

"Can I ask you really huge favor?"

Yaaaay.

I am moving, with my bf, into a house with another gay next month. I am excited, we haven't had any roommates for five or six years.

Roommates/housemates, either/or.

I need more live gay pals in my life, but they'd need to read, watch movies, and listen to music too, and none of my few gay pals meet these criteria. We don't have to share opinions -- mine are too brilliant to dispute an yway.

to love oneself is the beginning of etc.

wish i had more gay pals here too

i had enjoyable platonic drinks this week with two separate guys tho so i remain optimistic

i'm going on a (second) date tonight

*nervous.gif*

how was the first?

really good! an easy 2.5 hours at the bar, we hugged as we departed and we've been talking on text/gchat since then.

aw that is about the most PG date story ever related in the gay threads :)

ha, well i'm trying to "go slow" with this one. i mean there's a good chance that we have sex tonight, but two dates seems like enough time.

I just never posted all my dates that consisted of having a cherry phosphate at the St Louis World's Fair in 1904.

loool

"cherry phosphate" sounds like poppers

ha, well i'm trying to "go slow" with this one. i mean there's a good chance that we have sex tonight, but two dates seems like enough time.

Depends how you define sex (and I'm not trying to get TMI). In the last three years if there isn't some groping by the first date I can pretty much say goodbye to my chances on the second or third.

oh i don't mean like full on penetrative sex (which i'm not really into anyway?) -- but i think anything between that and making out is potentially on the table, but we'll see!

i mean before the first date i made a rule to myself that i was just gonna leave it at that

kissing is the best, and requires the least cleanup.

(semi-j/k)

we're about due for a tabes post, no?

if it's a poetic ode to kissing, yes.

i think if we're not doing everything and anything on the first date he might not want to talk to us

now there's the yuletide spirit!

*hopes TITT has a good first-date fisting story up his... sleeve* har har

or something to do w/ sounding & cherry phosphate

Wait who are v shasty and nuhuhuh? Jordan and someone else?

Jordan

yes

matt p

my cat is friendly and confident

like, very

i think i'm gonna have a boyfriend really soon, you guys

HUZZAH!

(But seriously, that's really awesome. Yay for j and Stevie)

And yay for surm's confident friendly cat.

my boy's cat is lounging on a chair and staring at me, but he's normally very friendly.

I'm going to be taking care of him for a week when JF goes home for Christmas.

As of last night/today, it's been a year since JF and I first went out for drinks/hooked up/started dating/whatever the proper thing marking the start of a relationship is.

The problem with starting a relationship in the middle of exams is that planning things for your anniversary are impeded by exams, but we went out for a nice dinner in between studying. Heh.

god damn, alex, an entire year! that's awesome.

If I had a glass I'd raise it to you both.

how'd it go last night?

it went well! we had a nice dinner, then went back to his place for a bit (nothing major went down) then went out w/ his friends where we more or less petted each other under the table, and then instead of going back to his place i went home cuz it was quarter to 12 and i haven't slept much this week and was basically falling asleep

i'm trying not to get really excited but i am, so oh well

^^^ I cannot imagine a better denouement.

it's funny, alfred, that the timeline of this romance was accelerated by you not being able to make it up here

I'll throw rice if you offer an open bar.

aww

possibly i will meet a future bf at the screening of 'l.a. plays itself' (the porn one) i'm going to tonight

(or a future something-else)

xp there's a porn one?

the documentary is 'los angeles plays itself.' the gay porn from 1972 is 'l.a. plays itself' (andersen expounds on this in the doc, if you haven't seen it yet)

I don't remember the porn one ever playing in NY, at least post-Andersen

life is weird and wonderful

do tell!

ah idk

i really like a boy, and he really likes me -- we spent all day basically just kissing each other
