So I’ve been meeting a guy, he initiated the conversion twice, but it’s been about 2 weeks and he hasn’t initiated the conversation since. Should I play it cool or initiate it from my end? FYI: I don’t like to EVER initiate conversation, I ALWAYS like others to start.

Seems odd to stubbornly say you don’t initiate a conversation - with no good reason. Just do it a few times and you’ll get I really that ridiculousness.

This is getting a bit hostile in here y’all. OP can decide when he wants to give his bottom to said guy on his own time.

funnyuplifting

as everyone else has said, you are the problem. if he’s initiated conversation twice and you never do, you’re sending signals that you’re not interested. so he should be moving on.

Just keep waiting until he initiates again. Sit patiently and wait. Keep waiting. Keep waiting. Wait, don’t talk! Keep waiting.

@OP: Is it worth pointing out (at this late date) that the conversation was already initiated, and if you reach out then you're just picking up where you left off? From the way you phrased the original post, it sounds like you had two complete start-to-finish relationships more than a pair of conversations. If you're still waiting then you're treating every discussion like a first date. That's not a good way to go unless one night stands are what you seek.

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city. My problem is I have been more of a homebody since I moved here and I'm a little intimidated to go out and meet people because I don't feel like I fit in here. I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.

Well I recently told a guy I have been seeing I have HSV-2. We have not yet been physical but it’s been heading that direction. Man I hate this part - waiting to see what his response will be after he researches and talks to his doctor. I’m on daily meds which help reduce transmission risk. You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes? Or had it disclosed to them?

Poll on general attitudes towards open relationships? I’m in one and find that some folks are totally non-judgmental about it, while others are so vicious/rude about it. Curious about your opinions! I understand that every open relationship is different, and each couple defines their own arrangement/rules. For context, ours is a passive one that’s hardly acted on, but we both have Grindr and meet guys for fun on the very odd occasion (whether together or apart). If you’re in one, describe yours!
