Happy Birthday Drew!

Thanks a lot guys! I really appreciate it.

Kevin, my brother is 3 years old so I tell him 'I love you' as often as I can. He's a kid, so there are never any awkward moments when those words are being said I think men in general have trouble saying 'I love you' because they would be exposing their vulnerability, and in my opinion, that's something guys(like me) find extremely hard to do, especially when done in the presence of another male. I think some guys believe that these words need not be spoken since they show their love in other ways. Actions, after all, speak louder than words. Just my opinion tracy

I have no problems telling my mom, brother, sister and a few of my closest friends 'I love you' when the situation calls for it, but my dad is a completely different story though. And I won't even bother going into detail about that. It's a guy thing, I guess. You can never say 'I love you' enough. It's more than just words being muttered, it's also an expression of your heart. But, words alone are not enough to convey your feelings, so I think there should be a balance between saying 'I love you' and showing it. tracy

Hi, Kevin. I almost always have a craving for chocolate cake and anything else that's chocolatey. I'm not entirely sure what these "cravings" are, though. One could say that these things are all in our head, but that issue is still completely debatable. Some believe that we crave food we physically need. Hormonal changes are also connected to cravings, most commonly found in pregnant women. But since you're not pregnant, then that leaves the former. Just a theory though, I'm not a nutritionist or whatever

Because Disney screwed me up. The whole "happily ever after" clich

I don't know if it's just me, but have you ever noticed how a majority of the gay population in the Philippines seem to be flamboyant? I've never had the pleasure of meeting a 'masculine' type But I have a feeling my non-existant gaydar is to blame for that I agree. I don't think that gay men differ from straight men when it comes to facial structure. Instead, I think that certain facial expressions are deep-rooted to the musculature of our face. Gay men tend to employ the facial expressions of women, which could possibly be one reason why we think that there's a difference in facial structure. Aww. Well, I'm glad that what you went through has made you a stronger person today tracy

Personally, I don't care what other people think or say. I don't live to please them, nor am I required to. What matters to me is that I've made the most of what I had, learned from my mistakes, and had fun doing it. Agreed. In my opinion, the things we do is a reflection of who we are as individuals. I believe that our actions speak more clearly than our sexuality in terms of defining character. All being gay means to me is that I'll eventually hook up with a dude instead of a dudette. Nothing more, nothing less. tracy

for the past couple of years, i've been coming to GA on and off, but only recently have i decided to join the forums. for a shy, quiet boy like myself, who's never had anyone to talk to about his sexuality, GA was a savior. it opened up a whole new world, a place where i felt comfortable enough to just sit back and relax, and not have to worry about being ostracized. the stories here at GA not only made me laugh and cry, it also gave me the courage i needed to tell my friends "I'm gay". i gained the confidence to say those words withough tripping over my tongue, without blushing, and without looking at my feet. GA was a constant companion i had throughout my denial phase, and it sure as hell means a lot to me. im sure that during the following years to come, GA will be like a knight in shining armor for teenagers who are in need of help. so, im running out of english. to sum this up, i would like to say a big thank you to Myr, Joe, Kitty, and to the other moderators for all their hard work here at GA. you guys are the best!

Congratulations!! best wishes to the two of you!

im glad you were able to step out of your shell and gain a little more independence. from what i've read, you have a pretty good head on your shoulders and hey, a man that can cook and clean is always a plus dont force yourself into a serious relationship if youre not yet ready, it can only end in a disaster. be patient. after all, you're young and you have all the time in the world. remember, there are no perfect people, but there are people who are perfect for each other. live how life is meant to be lived, and you'll meet your mr. right along the way and yes, for now, you move on. anywhoo, i wish you all the best. trace.
