Taking A Chance

[bhandsome]

Today I met an older man, 37, on Grindr, and we hit it off. I know I just met him but we decided to meet up tomorrow and just chill. We have been texting back and forth all day and we started talking about sex and hooking up.

He doesn't want to pressure me into doing anything but I feel that at this point in my journey, exploring could be an option for my sexuality. With protection of course He is really a cool guy and understands what I'm going through right now. It would be nice to gain an older perspective from someone who is openly gay and knows whats going on.

What are your thoughts?

Meet him and listen to what your gut tells you and take it from there. Good luck. Be safe.

Thanks. Hopefully I can tell the difference between being nervous and my gut

Go for it! It's always good to talk with lots of openly gays...they've been there, done that.

Be aware that he is likely ONLY interested in having sex with you. I mean, totally nothing wrong with it, but go to it expecting that, just to be on the safe side. Also, in case you go somewhere where there is drinking, make sure your drink is ALWAYS in your hand or in front of you.

Thanks Rolyo.

Actually I've been talking to him for awhile and he doesn't care he we don't have sex. Talking is perfectly fine with him and he knows my boundaries.

Very true. I always keep my guard up so I'll be fine

I would meet him up with him again tomorrow. I would just make sure you let someone know where you are going to be and check in with he or she once in a while.

Good luck and let us know how things go!

Well we ended up not being able to meet up, due to conflict in schedule.

May or may not try and meet up with him again because I have school and I'll be away from awhile. Who knows, but I'm proud I took the chance to meet up with someone.

hi bhandsome,

I am much older then 37, but I also like talking and exchanging ideas and opinions with guys of around your age. So I can imagine myself very well that he has more or less similar opinions.

On the other hand, we only have your side of the story. Not all guys of his age are trustfull. Therefore, I underline the advice of Seasoned and others.

Take your time, meet him in real life and talk with him, and sees how he is reacting in real life. I really hope he is a nice guy, and that meeting each other in real life will be a good experience for you to meet an open (?) gay.

Ofcourse, always follow your guts (but don't be too nervous at the same time).

I would like to wish you all the best, and feel free to ask additional questions.
