Met a man but..
« on: September 04, 2006, 06:03:07 pm »
Met a man I really liked, n he really liked me, we really got on, very well, he even liked my hands, very much, didn't even mind my Vermeer-galzed  atazanavir eyes, but, dumped. Couldn't do it he said, confused, not over his ex (4 yrs). Get some counselling I said. Lonely he said,wanna, so wanna, fall but can't. Tough I said.

Gonna drink some beers.

Hang in there Matt!  Time may not heal, but it does passes. In 6.5 hours the sun will rise over Brighton/Hove again, and you never know what the tide may bring in.

Newt, he ain't for you. Even though it seemed otherwise. Ouch is right.

But there is one who's gonna be yours. Keep on truckin', no kidding.

And in the meantime I refer to that song, "There ain't no sweet man who's worth the salt of my tears...."

He's a fool.

The next couple of pints are on me (put it on my tab).  :-*
Her finely-touched spirit had still its fine issues, though they were not widely visible. Her full nature, like that river of which Cyrus broke the strength, spent itself in channels which had no great name on the earth. But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.

Hey Matt Im going to go and see a guy today who is also HIV+. We have talked through emails since I came back from Montreal. He is 32 and Im 35. This will be my first date since 2004. Kind of nervous getting to finally meet him. So I get the decession on where we are going today and all. Wish me luck I will need it.

Matt, sorry about your experience.  Far too many gay guys are unavailable for whatever reasons.  You have responded very graciously but I know it has to at least be a minor barb in your life.  I agree that boys can be stupid.  I know I've appreciated the support you have given me on here and hence I know this guy has missed out on someone special.  And I echo what Jenna says... you deserve better....   all around... you deserve better.
