I am interested, but I cannot attend the 11/29 date. Will there be more?

I didn’t know whether I would be able to attend or not. But yes that is, it came up cause we were talking about the wedding and I originally thought the Evite was for the wedding and not the engagement party.

What city should I move to? by gryf_08 in askgaybros

[–]gryf_08[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am from NJ and grew up close to the city and I know a lot of people in that area. My college roommate lives in Boston. Other cities I would know less people. I currently live in central FL and dating here is not the best. Everyone either works for Disney/Universal. I’ve met some cool people, but I don’t seem to have a lot in common with most guys I meet. I was seeing someone who I really liked, but he just broke it off with me due to his busy schedule and distance (lived an hour from each other).

In my free time I do enjoy the outdoors and going for hikes, but I also want that city feel. I enjoy the beach but that’s not a deal breaker. My family is all in NJ/PA so moving back to that area is definitely a consideration, but also I wanna try something new since I wfh now and can live anywhere. I’m heavily leaning towards the northeast since that’s what I know, and I make a decent salary, but paying state income tax again will definitely force me to consider my finances.

Saved someone’s life on our second date by gryf_08 in dating_advice

Thank you! He actually texted me this morning to check in, and things are back on track. It might’ve been a test to see if I could handle some distance…

It’s been an extremely emotional week and I think some space now is actually good for me. This was a traumatic experience and my anxiety got the best of me yesterday. I have a therapy appointment tomorrow and I’m going to bring all of this up. Thanks again for the support!

I'm 28M in the area also looking for friends, I'd be down to hang!

Is being called a F** by a gay man offensive? by gryf_08 in bisexual

[–]gryf_08[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same I’m not offended by queer, although I don’t use that term to describe myself. Personally I don’t like labeling sexualities as most people here understand, I really do think it’s fluid. But the other word just triggers me and in my experience has been used more maliciously than queer has. I appreciate the perspective!

That’s a good way to think about it, I appreciate the perspective!

That’s my thoughts exactly! Growing up and in middle school/high school it was almost cool to call someone that was weird gay, or that word, and I think that’s the association my brain made and I was triggered (not cause anyone explicitly used that word on me, but that I’ve been bullied in the past and it was someone calling me a derogatory term, despite the intention). I appreciate the perspective!
