I'm glad I left the door open for you - in both respects. I wasn't too sure how you'd feel about being the subject of another persons post. (stopping short of something descriptive that I just erased). Not that I'd think you'd be ashamed or embarrassed, but you tend to air your own issues your own way, and I respect that.
I don't think that it's the problem of not wanting to try a few things, but the ability of being honest of hey, I don't know what I'm doing at this point - and not being embarrassed by that. I tend to shy away from trying since I feel that other person would feel impatient or disappointed by my lack of experience and embarrassment of said lack.
Other people have had relationships, broken up, done the club scene and been over it, gone on bear runs or in the case of one of my more twinkish bosses, circuit parties, and managed to come out alive, if not scratched up a bit by the events. I just haven't been there.
Perhaps I don't have to. We'll see. But my life does need a little more "family" in it. I've learned about all I can from my straight friends.

You bet that I'm looking forward to seeing you!
