Gays, its summer 2010 so... EVERYBODY TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRTS

So my friend is getting all this action on CL, and I'm sort of tempted to make a posting just to see what sort of responses I get (but probz with little intention of answering). Is this an OK thing to do, "testing the waters"?

CL is stupid but i guess it works for some regions

just be careful, perv central

pretty much any internet place to solicit gay sex = perv central

or sex for that matter

guys i am drinking a big whiskey and coke with a lot a bit of whiskey and just a little bit of coke.

one of the best things about being at your parents' house is raiding their liqour cabinet imo.

so OTM

i need this dude http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?showall=true&bookmarkedmessageid=1760008&boardid=77&threadid=77794 over here to help me drink all this jim beam

I've tried CL a few times and have had some pretty bad experiences (including the last one I posted here about a while back). I haven't given up on it, but I am definitely not as confident about using it for that purpose.

or lloyd, damn

i have had one great, one terrible, and one kinda ehhh experience w/ cl

oh god i am totally horndogging at the moment

on cl i've gone

pretty good -> eh -> very eh -> pretty great

really missin the boy right now. been out of touch for a minute but we're talkin right now about when i get back down there :)

i wish i had a easy booty call here. i need to get some pressure out ;)

i just totally need to go ham right now

SO GODDAMN SICK OF FALLING FOR MY CUTE STRAIGHT FRIENDS

don't do that

i know

i do that sometimes but i think the whole situ with the boy is giving me a better outlet for that energy

tape store, right now i'm writing this thing that is about boys who could never love me back.

so yeah.

but let me tell you everything gets so much better.

i mean

or sometimes, it doesn't.

no one in my family ever had a liquor cabinet.

but I thought you were raised Cat'lic!

i'm definitely making full use of my parents' liquor cabinet next month, as i'm sort of being forced to move back in with them...

i helped subsidize the gin market on northern long island as a teenager, raiding my parents' liquor cabinet

i didn't raid my dad's liquor nearly as often as i pinched from his stash

but I thought you were raised Cat'lic!

My dad went in AA before he met my mom, who has never touched anything but Cold Duck.

Speaking from almost 23 years of experience, I can say that while on a global scale this is, I guess, a likely outcome, it is by no means a definitive truth, and some people are just fucked for a long while.

and not in a good way.

Which is why I haaaaated the movie "Broken English" so much, because it's all EVEN IF YR AWKWARD AND HAVE BAD LUCK, YOU WILL SERENDIPITOUSLY FIND TRUE LOVE AND ALL YOUR DREAMS WILL COME TRUE, which is simply not true. Some people don't win in the end.

[/buzzkill]

Where do you live Tape Store? Maybe you just need to meet more people. When your possibilities are limited your mind becomes attracted to people who are ineligible, I think. It was definitely that way for me, but once I realized I could attract the right type, those attractions fell away.

otoh, all stories like that simply end before new problems set in.

xp

GOOD JOB AT BEING ENCOURAGING TO TAPE STORE.

serious negativity in here.

this has never been a thing for me

haha availability is a turn on

Sorry, I didn't mean to be such a downer. FWIW I really, really hope Tape Store and rev and corey and I and everyone else all find people. And fast.

One of the guys I've always held as a pie-eyed prospect in a perfect world but unavailable ... just broke up with his BF of some five or six years. Uh-oh.

life of tragic unrequited attraction has a certain romantic appeal tho

ha, thanks guys. :)

i found out a few weeks ago that this boy has a crush on me (first time in my life afaik). he's alright (nice, loves electrik red, is a photographer, could be beautiful w/ a haircut and a dif wardrobe), but i don't feel attracted to him. i'm not sure why. maybe i should just spend more time with him?

straight crush was teasing me about the whole thing--snuck up and put his arms around me and whispered 'it's [gay boy's name]' and i almost fainted :/

Yeah, speaking as the King of Negativity re: boy type stuff, shifting my mind into a patiently optimistic sort of place hasn't actually led to finding people, it's generally just a healthier and less stressful place to be?

which sounds really condescending and awful, but like...it'll happen if/when it happens, and until then, my life is plenty busy.

Tape Store, you don't feel physically attracted to him, or you haven't clicked with him personally?

http://www.dwmg.com/images/forty_year_old_virgin_big.jpg

because if it's the former, then you can't really change that, ya know?

but if it's the latter, then maybe let him grow on you. (not saying that you should make out with him, just give yrself some time to come around).

after being hung up for a while on unavailable guys (straight, not into you, boyfriend-ed, whatever) i often hold up new potentials against the perfectly unattainable (and unattainably perfect) dude and find them lacking. give him a chance on his own terms?

physically i find him frustrating--he's got a beautiful face but he dresses like a confused hipster and his hair is gross imo. personally we're fine, but there haven't been any crazy sparks or anything (but i haven't spent that much time with him, just worked a few shifts together, chatted on the street, etc.)

for a moment I thought you were suggesting he looked like steve carell.

seems worth exploring, at least?

there have been a variety of interesting boys semi-on-my-radar in june/july, but i'm moving in three weeks, and it seems...well, less than prudent to try and start anything atm, especially since none of them have actively expressed interest.
