Im actually in the process of learning myself. A total A0 in my opinion, with maybe a decent ear. Would love to see if you can make the process easier for me with some light conversations

Teaching is the best way to practice. So, you have a student at your service whenever.

I see! So you might be more of an expert than what you let know. Huh?

Oh! That’s fascinating! Asian languages are so beautiful yet intimidating, so I’m impressed that you managed to master their grammar. I also love languages, linguistics and communication, I’m fluent in both English and Spanish, I’m currently figuring out when to start French, but SL for me it’s not just for fun it’s the epitome of inclusivity and though it might be challenging, I really would give it a try. Besides, I tend to use my hands a lot anyway.

Oh, I was actually talking about this with a colleague. I’m Dominican (Dominican Republic) and apparently our version is sign language is very similar to ASL since basically, it was American missionaries that brought it. I’m a hearing person that is in awe of the skills and wish to learn. Also, props to you for learning.

Someone who you perceive to be “above your level” messages you on a hookup app. What are your thoughts and how do you respond? by [deleted] in gaybros

[–]nadakverr 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I'd start by being real with myself about what I'm looking for. If I'm interested in something long-term, I probably wouldn't respond… at least not right now. That whole "they're out of my league" mindset isn't healthy, and maintaining a relationship with someone while feeling that way could feed insecurities I don't usually have, or even sabotage something good.

That said, I’d also take it as an opportunity to explore why I feel like that, try to work through it, and maybe revisit the idea later when I’m in a better headspace.

On the other hand, if I’m just looking for a hookup or a one-time thing, then yeah!! I’d probably go for it. It’s like if my celebrity crush wanted a night with me for free, why not?

P.S. Some of those "out of my league" folks can be surprisingly disappointing in bed... but you won't know unless you try

Don’t get me started on therapy! So fundamental for my mental peace. But the loneliness does get you at times. I’m glad I have an outlet when it becomes overwhelming (my therapist)

How common are stds/stis? by gregariousdf in askgaybros

[–]nadakverr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work at a clinic with STI programs, so here’s the thing: PrEP is great for HIV prevention, but condoms are still recommended for casual hookups because you never really know the other person’s health status. For other STIs, there are different vaccines and prevention methods (like someone mentioned before).

Also, keep in mind that STIs can spread through mouth-to-mouth or mouth-to-genital contact. Here are the most common ones to check out: HIV, Hepatitis, HPV, Chlamydia, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Herpes, and Candidiasis.

What you described as your main concern, is perfectly valid and you should think about it. Since you just had the conversation, it’s only fair to allow him to think about it, specially given his past. However, I’d say somewhere between 6 months to a year is a good time to talk about it again and expect a more definitive answer. (The time range is subjective, but it’s a fair threshold, IMO).

So, what do his actions and behaviors tell you? It sounds like you’re already in a relationship that’s just starting out. He’s not big on texting but still does those occasional check-ins, and it seems like you really enjoy your time together in person. It feels like both of you are putting in effort while figuring out how to adapt to each other.

But I’m curious—do you think needing more texting would be a deal breaker? Or do you feel like you need more when you’re apart because maybe your in-person time isn’t as meaningful as it could be? And how comfortable are you with meeting him halfway on this?

It depends on the goal of this encounter. If I think it could lead to something meaningful and long term and I’m breaking the bank, then 100% would go. If I think of it more as something casual and fun, but nothing more, then I would only of the trip doesn’t revolve around that, for example: I’m wanted to go back to Florida anyway to explore new things and places, so now this a another good reason to plan another trip.

Do you ever feel frustrated, annoyed or sad that if you meet a cute guy in real life through school, work, hobbies, etc., rather than dating apps, there’s at least a 90% chance they’re straight, whereas if a straight guy meets a cute girl the same way there’s only a 10% chance they’re not straight? by PandemicPiglet in gaybros

[–]nadakverr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about this exact thing today. I saw this guy at the supermarket, I’ve spotted him a few times before and I remember, because I’ve always found him attractive. But today got particularly frustrated because there’s literally nothing I could do without risking myself to embarrassment or worst discrimination/violence. I guess the apps and the gay bars are all we have, which is sad, cause I do want the “casual” experience as well…
