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.

M here. I don’t know what it is genuinely that I’m doing wrong. I get barely matches on dating app; I don’t have the shiny muscles to show off on the apps, a 7 or 8 looks wise, great personality, and can easily to talk to anyone. I don’t know how to take the conversation out of the friendly zone to make a girl realize that I want to be sexual with her. Especially F 🐠s, would love to hear your POV on this as I’m sure you’ve encountered guys like me before. M 🐠s, let me hear your take too.

Hi. Can I bounce some ideas for a spot off one of ya?

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.

I know I will get hated by saying this. Do you think gay pride events are portraying a bad image about our community to public? (Drugs, sexual, inappropriate clothes, and sometimes like strip clubs- some parts). I know it is right to present us but I just feel it is not the right way to show who we are. I wish the pride where everybody can connect in a more friendly way (outdoor game- team work, dance, drink something not too sexual.) there are some good parts of pride tho. Any opinions?

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?
