I'm Gay...Now What?

[peaceandmusic]

Hey there!

So the Sparknotes version is this:

My girlfriend and I after a year and a half of dating decided to call it quits almost two months ago. Since we broke up, I took time to explore myself and my life and came to the realization that I was gay! After a while of shock and not knowing what to do, I came to terms with it and understood myself SO much better and started coming out to close friends and family.

But what happens now? I mean I've never been with a guy and I'm single and in college and it's just...interesting...like seriously what happens at this point?

Advice would be awesome for anyone who has gone through this before after they've started coming out!

You continue your life as you did until now, if it made you happy (if not, make some changes), and start doing with guys what you did with girls

Discover the world and don't settle for people who make you feel second best, but also understand that other people have needs that may be different from your own.

Your joining date here is Feb. 2011 indicating that some three years ago you were already aware that you are gay...or, sufficiently curious to find out more about your self...

Life's journey is about celebrating life... a process of self discovery...that takes a life time to realise...then we die.

Dive in the deep end and live...that you may find out who you are, and become that person.

The university of life teaches each of us its lessons....those who are honest with who they are...graduate with honours.

Open the jig saw puzzle and begin fitting the pieces together to reveal the result of your voyage through time.

Coming out to friends and aquaintances can open up more social possibilities. Exploring LBGTQ organizations, clubs and activities would put you in direct contact.

Thank you all so much for the kind words of advice! All of it is helping me so much!

Follow your Heart! It will seldom lead you wrong!

Weather you realize it, or not, you've already taken a BIG step to being Honest with yourself!

What happens Next is all up to You!

Just keep in mind that while you're exploring what you like, you might not always like what you discover.

However, don't let that dissuade you from what you're looking for.

LIFE is a Journey of trial and error. It's not a Final destination. NOTHING is written in Stone!

If it Feels "Right", DO It! And, don't hold back!

Most of our regrets come from what we Didn't do!

Simply put ... Be YOU!

And, of course ... No Matter What ...

Keep Smilin'!!

First and most important thing - come out. You're in college, it's your time to explore FREELY, not from the shadows. Go on the apps and the sites, see who else is gay around you. Meet them, as friends, not with any other goals in mind. The other stuff will come on its own

dont feel the need to conform, something not so attractive to guys is acting like you dont like men so that your more 'mainstream'.
