From my experience long distance very rarely works, unless you see each other frequently. Always sucks when you meet someone so far away! Good luck with it anyhow

He is getting married to a Woman soon. Gave up on finding someone who is right and in reach. Gave up on moving to a new place. He is 32 and he is afraid it's never gonna work out with anyone as long as he stays in Egypt.

He wanted to tell me that night but he was afraid I was gonna judge him. Wished him best of luck and felt sorry for him actually. Soldier down. In a way, I turned him straight (:

If you both have cars 400 miles shouldn't be a problem. Check TruckOSaurus post in this thread and read his stroy. Best of luck ^^

Oh come on. It's your 5th anniversary! I am sure anything nice will be enough  :)

Well, he sure didn't seem like much fun... I wonder what he hopes to accomplish by marrying a woman, other than unnecessary drama and misery. He could've just stayed single if he didn't thought he'd find a guy. Oh well, silly me, expecting people to make common sense decisions.

Don't worry though. YOU will find someone and wind up much better!

It can be as simple as a nice romantic homecooked dinner (not spaghetti, something you guys don't usually eat). My BF did that for me on a Valentine's Day, I thought it was really sweet and I still remember it to this day as opposed to many gifts I've forgotten about over the years.

Well I'm not gay or bi but there isn't anywhere else I can talk about this stuff on here ;__;

I suck at relationships, I've had two.

I keep saying I'm too focused on uni stuff etc to even bother with dating, but really I just fall for the wrong people. It'd be quite nice to meet someone really. -_-;

Well, this isn't really the thread to make that happen (unless there are any lesbian posters on here).

Have you tried dating sites? If you say you usually fall for the wrong people, why don't you try to date people whom you'd usually not date?

Haha, I'm not trying to find someone on here!! And I'm not into girls! Seece said pro-LGBT people could post here too ;__; But no, I'm not going to sign up for dating sites because that involves actively looking for people. I'm not LOOKING, I'm just saying it would be nice to have someone. Practicality would get in the way sooner or later what with being so busy anyway!

Anyway! Congrats to those of you celebrating anniversaries and such, and all the best for the future

He has his own stories sapphi and they are all devestating. I'll tell you some of them. Sam (let's call him that) fell in love with a Saudi tourist once. Sam agreed on finding a job in Saudi Arabia just so he can live in the same city as his Bf (NOT THE SAME HOUSE, because that's impossilbe in Saudi).  A year later his bf got married to a woman after his family pressured him to. What they had fell apart and Sam left back to Egypt and still no one.

He went to Greece and spent his savings to improve his educational status and he did but that didn't get him anywhere outside the Arabian borders. He met a Syrian guy but they always fought over having open relationships (Sam doesn't believe in them) and he had to leave him.

He invested too much and he was willing to invest more but... where is the proof in anyone? how do you know that they are worth the sacrifices? are you willing to lose your family (the only ones who stay) just because there is a possibility that you are gonna find someone someday who is never gonna be able to sleepover without being harrased by this unforgiving society? what happens when you get old and alone? He couldn't get beyond these questions. Therefore, he decided that getting married and having children to dedicate his life for them is a solution.

His marriage slapped me in the face honestly. Those Fears and doubts aren't easy to live with. I hope you understand where he is coming from now you know some of his stories.

Edit: Thanks for your constant attempts to cheer me up man, you are awesome

Edit 2: I wish I could grap a shot gun right now and go to the streets right now and scream I AM HOMOSEXUAL and have them attacking me so I could start blowing their guts up.
