@Wonk: Very very sad story. I'm sure you'll bounce back soon enough.

@sad.man: Try moving to Canada. Our economy is doing good (well better than most) so plenty of jobs and we're very gay friendly.

Went out with the skype guy last night. It sucked badly. We didn't even hold hands. He was so cold and it made me feel like crap. I guess all the waiting was for nothing -.-

I guess it's pretty hard to find a fella in Jordan? Have you ever thought about emigrating?

Sorry to hear about your date btw!

I am currently working on 2 plans to emigrate in 2-3 years. I really truely hope one of them works.

I still hope I can find someone here... but that won't happen when I barely go out on a date once yearly.

The problem is that so far I am not willing to date married gay men (married to women) living double lives and list themselves under "single"... or those who plan to marry women eventually or those self loathing guys who think that what we do is the one of the biggest sins.

99% of the gay community here falls under one of these categories. They tell me I will accept and compromize and honestly I think I am about to... especially after last night. meh


Stay strong. Keep working with those plans to move. I'm sure you can do it and make a better life for yourself.

As a very proud straight ally, and current employee of the ACLU's LGBT Justice Department in New York, (what whaaaaat marriage equality!), as well as an avid gamer for the entirety of my conscious life, seeing a thread like this make me so happy, and I just want to thank Seece for taking the initiative.



My Games of 2011:

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Super Mario 3D Land

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

I’ve been single for a long time and I’m cool with that. I wanted to make sure I cleaned out my baggage and would know how to pick a good match with a clear head. Plus I tend to work long hours on this big project that will hopefully be coming to fruition soon (cross fingers and toes.)

Like another couple of posters, I have had several first dates in the past years that didn’t go beyond that. They have been perfectly nice, but have said at least couple of major red flags that ‘disqualified’ them. I tend to get really attached so if someone clearly is the wrong person for me I let them go. If someone tells me they have all these problems and aren’t right for me, I don’t argue with them.

I’m kind of a simple guy that likes games, movies, good food and bunnies. It would be nice to have someone that enjoys some of those things and we could figure the rest out. Being simple is more challenging that it sounds.

I don’t want to be a part of an ‘open’ relationship so that rules out many people. I know this older couple that both recently passed several months from each other and they were together around 54 years. I find it’s easy to be single or in a relationship, but the process of twitching between the two is the challenge.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Man we are a lot similar.

I either get attached and attracted completely or not at all.

I consider myself simple and that's not easy because "they" consider that boring. I used to enjoy lots of activities but as time went by with me preferring to stay home than sociolizing with people I lost interest in nearly everything, that includes gaming.

To Wonktonodi-

That's a really sad story about losing your bf to a road accident. Your relationship with him sounded perfect. I hope you found something positive out of your time together and the aftermath of his tragic death.

Like others here I'm mainly a lurker now. As axumblade said : there's been no discussion lately about Drake's (awesome) buns

But seriously: great thread. Although one story in particular was heartbreaking... I'm sorry to hear what you had to go through Wonktonodi ;-(

 

Thanks guys. I don't know if I can say there is much possative from it at the moment and I don't see myself boucing back soon since there is no back. However I do see myself working for something better.
