I get very defensive when this is brought up, almost every time a family party comes up, its brought up infront of everybody, do you realize how demorilizing it is to sit there and having people blurt this vermon out of their mouth, even though i firmly state that "I know i'm not gay"

I get it from everyone, my whole family, my grandma, i even had my uncle trying to convince me that "many people are gay" and they just dont know it, there is nothing wrong with it" ...

He went on to say "When he was younger all they ever did was bring girls home until we found the perfect choice" .."thats just how it was, you'd bring a different girl home every weekend" ...

Ok sure, thats fine, for starters he had all the traits, the confidence, a life brought up in the army, is tall, has blue eyes, never had any self esteem issues or lack of confidence ..

He is your typical alpha male, arrogant, big boned, they always get girls, even when they arnt trying to

You have never told (any of) them that you have actually fallen in love with girls in your life? I myself has only told my sister. She got very suprised, she didn't even think that I could fall in love (I wish I could not Very Happy).

I get this shit all the time. I swear people think I'm gay-being 28 and never dated. Luckly our family doesn't have many gatherings now a days for different reasons but years ago it was hell. Now I just say i'm too busy to find a relationship at the moment-although I can't really stretch that reason out much longer. But to be honest sometimes its nice just to do your own thing so its a catch 22 i guess

about two years with the odd one night stand here and there which isn't really my bag to be honest.
It's been abot 6yrs since my last proper relationship ie longer than 3months.
It's not hard for me to find a girl that likes me but it's very hard for me to find one that can put up with me for any significant length of time.
My OCD and 12yr history of drug abuse dosent help greatly...
Oh well, I'm proud to be a freak. Fuck normal ppl, bloody drones with no real depth of character due to experience.

Believe it or not thats one thing we have over normals... our experience with our shit. Makes us strong and deep I reckon. blah blah blah I'll shut up now

I've only ever had one relationship it lasted 2.5 yrs and haven't had a girlfriend for 1.5 yrs but I really want one, if theres any girls out there who are nice I'd love to meet you, its weird because I'm not actually a shy person but I am socialphobic,I' m still trying to work it out.?!?!

I have been single for 21 years (I am 21)

I get the jokes about being gay from my parents too it really irritates me. Or even when people ask you if you have a girlfriend it just makes me uncomfortable.

I have been feeling more confident recently because I have been seeing my friends a lot more and going out. Hopefully this confidence will pay off even more.

I'm going to a friends 22nd this weekend hopefully I can meet someone Very Happy
