Gay Facts I Wish I Knew Sooner

Or I guess, just dating facts in general.

1. Being disgustingly obsessed with a man is not attractive.

If you’re the friend that’s known to only complain about the same dude in the same situation over and over again, you’re not being good to your friends or to yourself.

Process things on your own, re-prioritize your life, and don’t use your friends as therapists.

2. That relationship with that cute guy that you hold so close to your heart is probably not going to last forever, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not special. 

I used to (and still do sometimes) stress so much about how he and I are going to end someday, and it’s not good for my mental health.

So, now I’m trying to shift that stress into being grateful that we’re special and that we exist - that lasted this long in the first place. 

I encourage you to do the same.

3. You don’t have to sleep around if you don’t want to sleep around.

Sometimes, I feel this pressure to join in on hook up culture and it’s just not good for me.

If you know that you have problems with emotions, and intimacy, and male validation... I encourage you to pull away from this and do some internal work with me.
