Thoughts of a Prince

I can't help but take some credit for this Good luck out there.

Love is hard dude. I wish you all the best and if you ever need anything i'm always around.

Love is hard

Reminds me of a song by this name by James Morrison (which I'm listening to right now, great artist, great song).

@Grumpdogg Yeah, you get some credit.

Don't try to hard, you may just push him away further then he already is from you.

I am 40 so I am going to impart to you some of the lessons I learned in my life when it comes to relationships, dosent matter what your sexuallity is.

1. Dont assume you know how the other person feels, let them tell you: Really I know thats simplistic but often (as you exampled above) people have a hard time getting out the whole narrative. Its very important to have patience specifically given the dynamics you have expressed in prior postings about "coming out".

2. Sometimes less is better: Its important to get out how you feel, but it dosent have to be a major event requiring hours of conversation and emotion. Sometimes saying things simply allows the other person a quicker processing time and the ability to respond in a concise manner.

3. Emotions are real: If you feel it, its real. Dont get to caught up on others dismissive nature of their feelings or your reactions. The key here is, is to make sure you understand why you feel a certain way and how you plan to deal with it. Honesty, is paramount to being at peace with yourself.

Just a couple of tips, sexual preference isnt important to me really, Im a hetro male with kids probably old enough to be your father. My best simplest advice to you is, spending time in reflection negates time living in the present which, if done at length can compramise the future.

tl;dr: yeah tell him, get it all out but be mindful of the delivery and the genesis of the feelings.
