To Wait or Not To Wait?

All traffic lights turn from red to green , sometimes with the helpful transition of the yellow light.
Many of us have met with this decision, whether driving a car or taking the pedestrian crossing, you'll see the light change, signaling the closing of your window of opportunity.

Do you wait till the light turns green again, or rush forward before it turns red?

Dating in the gay world, the main difference from its straight counterpart is the chance for romance comes ever so rarely. Some say that we should wait for Mr.Right to find us, whilst others advocate that we go out and find Mr.Right.

Do we rush into the busy highways of the dating world? or wait safely but eternally on the edge of Singles Street?

Miss Kim , the self confessed temporary bisexual, is coming to the city; like her split sexual orientation, she thinks that there are different rules for two types of people. The good looking= Mr. Right comes to them. The ordinary= they have to look for Mr. Right.

Xan the philosopher suggests that we can only wait so long, and then it will be a time to take action. But how long is too long? Finally, Coco calmly says, "we should wait - (no doubt trusting that Mr.Right should be looking for her )- but create more opportunities for him to find you."

So maybe the question is more of a Where and When to wait, rather than the question of whether to wait at all.

Last week, I thought - to hell with it, why not write an email to this guy whom I met online, he seems cute-

Not only was my email not replied to, I have a sense of foreboding that I've just been marked off as desperate. How is a gay guy supposed to make a connection in such a world? Where advances are seen as desperation and shyness,as a weakness.

Can you tell me your first thought of a gay virgin isn't "there must be something wrong with him."? Virgins have an expiry date on them and they don't even know it. Unlike wine, the longer we wait, the more likely the product is believed to be spoilt.

It might be time to speed pass the lights, the next green light might be my menopausal state.

This post really resonates with me. As a bisexual, I've only really been sexually active with girls the past few years. To relate to what you've been saying - with guys, I tend to wait for "Mr. Right." I finally had the guts to make a move on a guy I really like the other day, and it's complicated so I don't know what's going to happen in the upcoming weeks.

I actually admire the fact you're a gay virgin. You destroy the stereotype that all gays are promiscuous. Don't think for a second that there's anything wrong with that.
