Working It Out Part 1 1. Working It Out

Yep, definitely still love the story! As we speak, I have already re-read this story for a third time, maybe?

And, how can I not leave a review for one of my favorite stories here?

Definitely love Mike. I have mixed feeling about Matt because of obvious reasons. But the epilogue made me cry like a wuss the first time, and it did tear me up as I read just now.

I read this story in spring of 2000. I was just graduating from High School. I stopped reading when you broke them up and ended on Jeff's Frog joke. LOL!

I never came back. So fast forward 11 years and a day, and I'm totally in awe of what you wrote. I came by the story again by reading the stories and I was in for a painful reminder when I reread that chapter again. I went to my journal, and I had commented on what I learned from this story. They are the 3 points I said I took from that story. Maybe I was a temperamental teen, but I never forget the life lessons of this story.

1. Chose wisely... I never dated closeted people, I met many but I only wanted to talk to them in the open, I never wanted to hide myself. Matt's betrayal grated on me for a year. I should have checked back sooner. LOL!

2. Have hot sex... if it is bland time for a change of a partner or it time for some toys, LOL!

3. My second question of men I dated was do you see children in your future. If they answered in the affirmative I told myself to stop because I can't provide them, and this draw is strong. Finally I asked a follow up, Will adoption work? LOL! The looks I received, didn’t matter.

I printed out this story for reference back in the day, I still have it. I might add the rest, but with the recession and ink, I might just have to forward a link to the site.

Lucky me! I found out the true meaning of working it out. 11 years late but still a great read.

As more feedback about the rich gay archtype... Working It Out is one of the first major modern stories on the net to use it. Everyone copied Dan in my opinion.

These characters are mentioned in "Kyle" by Brew Maxwell.
