Yup. When he saw him, his face was a picture.

I met my guy at a Halloween dance (sort of). I wasn't out, and actually hadn't even started exploring my attraction to guys yet at all. I was just dancing in the crowd when suddenly I turned and this masked man was dancing with me. I figured it was someone I knew, so I went with it playfully and we danced for a while. I asked his name, and realized I had no clue who I was dancing with. He didn't take his mask off all night, and I started feeling uncomfortable and stopped dancing with him.
It was a couple months later that I finally figured out who he was, someone completely unknown to me at the time. I wasn't sure I wanted to approach him. Over the next several months I hooked up with a few guys through Grindr, which was thrilling but felt too risky. I learned that I did indeed enjoy sharing a bed with another man, but wanted more of a connection than I had experienced so far.
Then the guy from the dance showed up on Grindr. We live in a very small community, and we were the only guys near each other showing on the app. He said hi and I replied, calling him by name. I got his number and called him later that night. We talked for hours and met for a walk a few days later. The first thing he did was apologize for coming on to me the way he did at the dance, now almost a year prior.
Our walk led to a dinner date, then a lunch date, more walks, then the excitement of starting an intimate relationship. Because of our relationship, I have come out with friends and family. He joined part of my family for Christmas, and was warmly welcomed. We have been together for about 3 months, and I happily uninstalled Grindr from my phone.

On a forum... no joke. Not a gay forum either, a diesel enthusiasts forum. Started talking outside of the forum, on facebook, eventually texting and skyping, playing online games with eachother, then long phone calls... I eventually coerced his orientation out of him (long story lol) and kinda asked him out I guess. Been dating since November 2011. Hopefully moving to live in his college town soon, like in the next 2 months. (yup, been a ldr the whole time)
Funny part is, before we came out to eachother, we called eachother pet names, talked baby talk, sang to eachother (well he sang to me lol), made sexual references (most notable one was I would say "f--k you" and he would say "only if you ask"). It was bad. We had been doing it openly, so everyone thought it was a joke when we came out. Heck, we both thought it was just jokes until I um *interrogated* him. Lol

Id had a messy breakup about 2 months previous. Met online (Gaydar) chatted on and off for about 3 weeks, then decided to go on a date. So a month after we started chatting we met up and had dinner.
I decided we were too different and he smoked (one of my pet hates at the time) so I turned him down when he asked for a second date.
We moved in together 6 months later and been together 8 years now. We have our ups and downs (most people do, even been through the 7 year itch LoL) but in the end we are different enough to actually be good for each other.
We both bring different things to the relationship which I think is important and helps in actually maintaining the relationship longterm.
Do I know how long it will last? I don't as he's 10 years younger, so I take each day as it comes. His dad recently suffered a stroke (ok now) and I think that made him stop and take a new perspective on things. We are doing ok as a couple.
I think lots of couples are in similar circumstances. Building and maintaining a relationship (Str8 or same sex) is hard work and about making compromises, after all we are two individuals 
Life would be boring otherwise.

He is my roommate, he used to make gay jokes at me, and once he got physical about them and he had an ERRECTION out of it, it was so hilarious, lmao, so he kind of got lost and kissed me, I kind of didn't know what to do, I left him for a moment to think, and I couldn't think anything but try to feel the warmth of his hands around my west and his sweet lips, so i just went back to him and kissed him and we kept on knowing each other more, it took us a month or two to have sex, its been two years now, and we are starting to grow out of this relationship, but i don't know what I will do if I didn't have him, he makes my life easy, but on the other hand, we belong to two different backgrounds and our paths may hardly intertwine after we finish the university, he is two years older than me, he will leave me this year to be alone in the university, I don't know how I will survive that place without him ;(

I met my partner and best friend at Starbucks. I was sitting alone (waiting for a friend to join me) and he approached me and asked me about the weather or some random question I don't quite remember. It was obviously his icebreaker as I look back now. After that we went on dates and spent much time together. I was not out and had only dated chicks up until this time. We took it slow and then on our third date were driving up to the mountains and he asked me in my Jeep, "so, when do I get to kiss you?" I was a little nervous but kissed him right away. We camped out in my Jeep that night and that was 8 1/2 years ago. He is 26 and I am 31. Yes like all others we have our ups and downs but we are very good at communication and that in my opinion has led to a very gratifying relationship really.
There is hope dudes. The old cliche it will happen when you least expect it definitely applies to relationships. Just keep your chin up you never know when your dream guy is going to walk in your life and ask you for directions, or what time it is or what have you.
:grin:
