Re: LGBT Chat IXHey! Nice seeing you again last week(Original post by anshul95)
I won't give away where you live ofc, but I thought the area where you live is now fairly nice? Sure you can't find anywhere else in the sameish area? If it has a mould problem personally I would be creeped out. Are they all law students as well?
No, it's a mix. Ummm parts of it are nice, I'm towards the rough end.. I think I might just want a change for final year, plus it's final year!! Yikes!!

Re: LGBT Chat IXI went for a run today around my neighbourhood instead of around the local park.
I came to two conclusions. (a) There are far too many hills around where I live and (b) The world would be a better place without hills. -

Re: LGBT Chat IXI missed the sun for most of today, because I had to work
But I hear the feelings are mutual, so he's promised to come back tomorrow 
Oh, that's interesting. Particularly the gender-neutral pronouns. I have always wondered how transgender/gender queer etc. people feel about pronouns, and grammatical genders in other languages. It must be even harder in languages in which your gender affects the spelling/pronunciation of words. Even the 'genders' of masculine and feminine in especially the Romance and Celtic languages where most don't have a neuter case, so that you have this binary for every single noun.(Original post by The Fez)

LGBT(and others) Glossary, pretty informative
It's not absent in English - I used the masculine pronoun for 'the sun' in my second sentence. But the gender-neutral pronoun 'it' feels too inanimate, so what else can I use? Shklee?

Re: LGBT Chat IXThis morning I decided for the next week to eat only vegetarian foods, see if it's too much of a hassle or too expensive, if not I might switch for good!
It's something I wanted to do for a while and most of the food I eat is veggie anyway...
Being a good MP is a really tough job and I don't think I'd like it much for many reasons, but the pay is not one of them.(Original post by crazylemon)
Yes I know people like that too. Although I know more who complain MPs are not paid enough for them to want to do the job.
Oh and one of the people on my firm saying that a consultant being paid £120k was not much. ARGH
As for normal life bahahahahahaha my life will be a Mass of on calls, weeks of nights and generally operating in a way that 90% of the UK would think is crazy. Such is the joys of being a doctor.
I don't envy you at all! -

Re: LGBT Chat IX(Original post by saachi)
Oh no. That's exactly what I felt like when I was going through the 'phase'. It wasn't a phase for me, but it's different for everyone, I suppose. I tried to make myself like a boy who liked me. I even thought it worked for a while, before I saw the girl I was in love with again, and everything fell apart. That's when I realized just how hard I had been trying to make myself straight.
It started off like that for me. After the one girl I was in love with for about a year, for me no boy ever came close to her. I never felt anything that intense for any boy, and then it got even more frightening when I started feeling those things for girls. And I've liked girls ever since. I have the *ocassional* crush on a boy sometimes, but that's rare and not really what I feel for girls, if you get me.
If the thought of getting intimate with your boyfriend sickens you even a bit, then it sounds like you're really not into him romantically. You might not be gay, it could just be that you're not into him particularly. Remember you're 'normal' (who in the world is ever completely normal!) even if you're gay, straight, bi, etc, there's nothing to feel ashamed about. People may treat you better when they think you're straight because, most likely, they just haven't had time to get used to the idea of you being gay. They might not actually be homophobic. My mum was like that in the beginning, but now she's totally cool with it and treats me as well as ever.
Basically just take your time. From what you wrote it sounds like this boy is a lot more like a best friend than a boyfriend, and breaking it off with him could hurt him- but better sooner than later. Don't push yourself into liking guys because that could end up hurting both you and the potential guy. It's a difficult time, yes, but you'll get through it
Thanks for the replies(Original post by dbmag9)
Hey gays, welcome new people.
Aww, sounds like a difficult situation.
From what you've written, it sounds to me like you like him as a friend but not more than that? Best I can advise is to try and figure out how you feel about him (ignoring how others feel about the two of you), and if you have to tell him you want to 'just' be friends I hope it goes well for the both of you.
I've decided to give it a little bit of time, he makes me happy and he knows the situation - well as much as I can tell him without him being upset. Just sucks because he's lovely! -

Re: LGBT Chat IXAh, the joys of being bi. You have my sympathy if not actual advice.(Original post by The Puppet Master)
Was going to post this as anon 'cause I'm not too sure how I feel about it.
I'm not exactly sure what I'm asking but basically I've been 'dating' a guy for a couple of months, everything's fine, he's lovely, I enjoy spending time with him etc. But I constantly feel like I'm battling with myself, trying to force myself to like him, all the while I know it's nothing compare to how I fall in love with a girl. It's horrible but I feel like I'm with him for all the wrong reasons. People are treating me better because I'm with a guy, I feel 'normal' and more confident. I like him, I really do and I love hanging out, watching movies but it's getting to the point where he wants it to get more serious and well, the thought makes me feel a little bit sick. D: What's wrong with me!?!!?
I really don't know what to do... I think the fact I got together with him right in the middle of my 'I may as well be gay' phase didn't help. Ugh. Why can't I just be straight? Or gay?
Anyway, weird 5am emotional speech over, I hope everyone is well xD -
