Expertise

Any questions on how to come out, handling people close to you, handling the pressures of being gay in society, going out, seeking a partner, etc. are welcome. I live in South Africa and may have a unique perspective on gay live, as gays do not live openly and have been scorned for a long time here. If you need to speak to someone, and no one wants to listen, I will try my best to be a friend when you have none.

Experience in the area

I am a gay male who have lived the life as someone that had to hide it from everyone for a long time until coming out some years back. I know how it feels to be 'in' and 'out' and have had diverse experiences in relationships. I have had friends who hated gay life, gay bashers, friends who understood me.

Education/Credentials

I have a postgraduate degree in Science. I have worked together with and currently work with homosexual and heterosexuals in my environment.

Hey again Ryan! Talking about feelings and love is never ramblings, so relax! This is what life is about, buddy :) The butterflies, the tongue-tiedness (that a word?), the turning to custard when

2009-11-12 I get stressed and worried over my sexuality...:

Hey there! On the one hand 'the people' are right, you should be choosing yourself what feels right for you, wanting to be with a girl or a guy, but on the other hand, it should not be in the forefront

Hey hey buddy! Boy you have it hard, hehe! I am not laughing at you, k? I'm laughing at this absolutely fantastic adventure you are on! I remember my first guy, those butterflies. those rushes.

2009-10-16 Should I stay:

Hello there B I will call you that, because you didn't make your question private, so it might be 'published' of sorts on the website, if the administrators think it's what they're looking for, which
