I'm a gay man who married his best friend and started a family. Now I'm divorced and still trying to come to terms with who I am and what I want in life.
Hi There. Remember me? Last week was a very busy week for me and there is a lot of stuff I want to talk about, but just don't have the time to talk about it right now. I will get back to it ... later... _______________________________
There are 2 gay bowling leagues in the near by city and I have picked one I am interested in. Their season starts in August and ends... well... it ends tonight. I plan to join the league in the fall, but since I am on the shy side, I wanted to go to the bowling alley and check it out first. I am not sure exactly what I am hoping to find. K thinks it's silly that I want to go there tonight. In her mind, I like bowling, I'm gay and it's a gay bowling league. What more is there to know?
Not withstanding, K's skepticism, I feel the need to see what is what. I want to see how people interact. I want to see if people are friendly between teams. Keeping in mind that my goal is to meet different kinds of people, it would not be very productive if I only got to know the 3 other people on my team.
The last thing I am trying to find out is when the sign-ups in August will be. I want to make sure I get on the list. They have a website, but it does not seem to be updated very often.
Anyway, wish me luck and I will let you know how it goes.
Good for you! I would also go and scope it out. You need to know before you sign up with them what sort of group these people are. If they are really a social group that just happens to bowl, that could be a wonderfully good fit. If however, they are cut throat, play for blood, dont you even think about talking to the other teams, well then RUN!
I am gay man in his 40's who was married for 18 years to a straight woman, who is still my very best friend. We have 4 children together. She is now remarried and we still want to be supportive of each other and make a stable family for our kids.
