I feel so alone.

I have friends, and I have family that loves me. But I’m missing that one piece of me. A partner I’m a gay 20yr old male who never had a relationship ever. I just came out of the closet in May of 2008. And I’ve been really depress because I haven’t found anyone yet. Except for this one guy that I like. I left him an email and he never responded back and I try contacting him through an IM and still nothing. I see him around the university and it drives me mad. Why does he do this, should I try IMing him again or should I try to go talk to him in person?

Do you know him well?, If you don’t then talking to him directly is a risk. Maybe you should leave him another message, a text message maybe. If he doesn’t answer that I would leave it.

You don’t want to be with someone who doesn’t respond from the beginning dear young man. You’re worth so much more, don’t settle for that. Move on.

I wouldn’t recommend hitting on him or anything if he isn’t gay, a lot of people find that offensive. Honestly, I’d take offense if a total stranger would hit on me, and I’m gay too.
And, as jem061 said, if it doesn’t work out then don’t waste your time crying over that. If it isn’t meant to be it isn’t. Sometimes not getting what you want is the greatest stroke of luck.

If i would say anything to you, it would be this. One can not look to another for contentment and peace. One has to first own it, then and only then can one appreciate anothers love. The surface suff will NEVER work. sign, Friend in Delaware.

If maynot gotten your email or he not gay and don’t want to be bother. You ask him to he get your email, then take it from there.

Hello…
Sorry to hear about this experience with you… Kind of similar here… I’m gay too so I know how hard it can be to find something really meaningful. But I can offer a similar story; perhaps you’ll feel better after listening to this. I met a very interesting person online and befriended them on the phone. We got along quite well and really were into each other. We actually were supposed to meet this last saturday. I texted and asked where they were but only received a response, “with a friend.” I waited at the mall for 8 hours and called/texted all day to no avail… Interestingly enough, their family member owns a stand there at the mall and they showed up at around 5 (I came at 12) to sit there with their family member at this stand… Now, I called them watched the person pick the phone up, put it down and walk away. To say it shortly, spent the rest of the evening chasing them (literally running after the person down hallways) to no avail. No response. Nada. Nil.
Next, I decided to return the next day and talk to the family member. They showed up soon after and it was kind of a repeat of hide and go sneak around the mall.. Monday rolls around and I finally receive a response back to my text containing vitriolic language but essentially telling me to go away or the police would be called….

So yes… I understand your feeling alone. :-(
I feel the same right now so I do have some sort of empathy with you…
Maybe we could talk or something about it and be lonely together. lol…
;-)

xoxo

I really know how it feels. I feel you.
I`m 16 and gay and the only relationship i had is a fake one and cyber, i’m in love with someone but i dunno if he loves me back.
We get along really well, we treat each other like we’re a couple.
I don’t know if he’s really that nice or he’s in love with me or whatever, right now im so confused, sometimes… his body language tells me he’s inlove, sometimes it tells me to stay away from him.
Then he left, he’s from california and i’m from somwhere very far.
I IMed him, he replied.
Then the next day, I IMed him again, he didnt replied, until now he doesnt reply to my msgs, and it kinda makes me worry, it’s hard for me coz he’s miles away. It’s kinda hard to read him.

Btw, about your guy, try someone else, someone that you know that will like you and gay too.

Yeah its rough but I think it is rougher when you like a guy and you don’t know his name or anything about him, is he gay, straight, bi? That’s my big problem with this other guy I like. I want to go and talk to him but I have no idea on what I should say!?

I also hate being the only single person out of all my friends and the only gay one!
