One of the first few things I told him was that he should be careful of who he was meeting, that he was appearing to eager to meet up. What ensued was line after line after lecture after speech, about how dangerous it was to do this kind of thing. I asked if he wanted to go home, he said he was going to wait for his cousins to pick him up.He actually seemed chastised that I felt bad for him. When the area we were in became crowded, I suggested we talk in my dad’s van which I brought to the venue. So we spent the next half hour talking about ourselves – him sharing his parent’s pressure on him to excel at school, and I sharing my experiences when I was his age.

Then I started to visit your blog and realized that I am not alone…that there are gay guys I can relate to.

Always thought about sending in a letter, but felt that my problems were miniscule in comparison to the ones being sent in. I’m Jamie (not my real name), a 23 year old IT professional in a bank at The Fort.

My biggest issue in life prior to today, was that I was alone.

I’d like to think I’m a smart guy, reflecting the education my parent’s paid for, and a values-oriented person, reflecting how I was raised by my parents.

Eventhough I’ve known I was gay since I was watching Speed Racer (the cartoons) when I was a kid, I knew that I was going to be a bit traditional when it comes to my (future) relationships – that I won’t have sex on the first date, monogamy, a commitment ceremony (instead of a wedding), 2.5 kids (adopted or via surrogate), and a dog.
