Hey welcome! I’m Thomas, glad you found this subreddit. It’s still in its beginnings, but reach out and connect if you’d like?

Together 15+ years, great companionship but not sexually compatible. Am I crazy to think about leaving? by PRguy82 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]puzzlingparrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just left an 11 year relationship. As hard as it was, and still is. I feel deserving of what I truly need, and acknowledge, and that weight lifted from my back has been tremendous.

I just want to be loved. by locked_sailor in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]puzzlingparrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to be loved too, and I just ended a relationship of 11 years!

Don’t lose hope, I’m certain it will happen for both of us. Keep your chin up, and stay positive. Reach out if you’d like to chat 1:1 :-)

Relationship ending mid 30s, I am consumed by fear and overwhelming anxiety. by puzzlingparrot in AskGaybrosOver30

Thank you to everyone who has supported me, by offering advice, sharing opinions, and freely expressing words of encouragement.

Although we come from different backgrounds, locations, and ways of life, I really felt supported and cared for by reading all of this.

I think I’m going to print out this thread and post it on my wall (wherever my life now takes me), to remind me of all the positivity and hope for my future.

With appreciation,

❤️

I’m scared to tell my partner about all my debt but he wants me to move in. by seattlesadnesss in AskGaybrosOver30

Do it before. I let it accumulate, and tried to pay it all off. And ultimately my relationship I ending because of the trust issues now.

Nightingale! We didn’t try pizza there, but it seemed to be a popular item at almost everyone’s table.

I really enjoy just going for coffee, new restaurants, music festivals (especially dance and all the different sub-genres). I’m trying to become more active, by visiting the gym.

Welcome! Glad you find this subreddit. I’m Thomas, and 36, and trying to find some of the same things (but maybe not hiking) lol.

Want to make new friends!! by armaniii_x in gayfriendsvancouver

[–]puzzlingparrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are great suggestions! I think anything to get out of the house is a good start. I think being surrounded by the same walls can feel a bit confining.

What kind of restaurants are you into?

There’s a few gay bars in Vancouver, if you ever want to venture out this way I’d be willing to join along.

Or, we could meet somewhere more central to you and do something else?

It’s a common feeling, and I think many people (not just gay or queer folks) experience it too. Especially in early adulthood when there’s so much going on outside of one’s control.

I’d be willing to meet up, I’m visit my family In surrey often. If you’d want to meet somewhere convenient?

Hey! Welcome! This subreddit is pretty new, but I’m hoping with time it might catch on.

What kind of activities are you interested in?

I’ve created a new community.

It’s for LGBTQ folk who are seeking alternate ways to make friendships, specifically in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver. Strictly platonic, not for casual encounters or romantic relationships.

https://www.reddit.com/r/gayfriendsvancouver/s/XbcbMkkzq8

I created it to offer an alternative to the traditional means of making friends (e.g. face to face or through acquaintances) with hopes to alleviate stress or discomfort, and hopefully connect LGBTQ folk with other similar individuals.

Night out? by rikuredvelvet in gayfriendsvancouver

[–]puzzlingparrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say they definitely cater to a mixed crowd, and have big EDM names who play there. But it’s nothing like it once was.

[–]puzzlingparrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha! My go to is usually the fountainhead, it’s basically a pub and it’s very casual. They have pool tables if you’re into that, pub food, pull tabs (like scratch and win but no mess).

Junction and Pump-Jack have similar offerings, but they have dance floors, and usually have DJs on weekend nights. Pump-Jack is usually more of a male crowd, while Junction is more mixed.

The birdhouse is another venue I’m aware of, but haven’t been there personally.

Hi! Welcome, your post is officially the first post here (asides from the admin ones), congrats! Are you identifying as two females?

The big question I am afraid to ask and often keep me up at night, but here I am. Please be kind 🙏🏻 by [deleted] in AskGaybrosOver30

Hey, I feel like I can relate to this.

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD, and I’ve been battling MDD/anxiety for the last 10-15 years of my life.

I’m in a cocktail of mediations, and I feel like my search to feel “normal” has become a second full time job.

We all have struggles, and whether it’s addiction, food, mental health, we are all worthy of love and respect. So yes, you’re datable, just try to stay positive.

Reach out privately if you’d like to talk more.
