When To Walk Away

It's been a chore to find friends
When you meet people they tell you a story that captivates you and you feel like you have found a good person to connect with
As you get to know them they make you feel like they truly are moved by you and want to further the friendship
As you dig deeper into their life you start realizing that the stories that they have shared with you don't match up to the facts that you find out later
Then you start finding out their true intentions towards you
People tell you all the time that they want friends when in actuality they want a cut buddy
For those of you that don't know the meaning "cut buddy" that is someone you call a friend but have sex with on occassions
The saddest part is when they say that they are in relationships yet they are trying to get with you sexually
At what point do we treat our relationships like real relationships
We are stereotyped all the time
We are seen as a bunch of sex crazed men that just want to hump the next available guy
No one really believes that gay relationships last because of that opinion
The sad truth is that there are so many men out there that live up to the stereotype
Don't get me wrong sex is great, but it's even greater when you are with someone that you love and you can see yourself with for the rest of your life
When you allow yourself to get over the fear of being alone you can find that special someone to love
You hear all the time that guys tell you that they just love sleeping around
Dig deeper into their story and you will find there is more to it than that
Someone that sleeps around a lot isn't always a slut
There is something missing in their life and they try to fill it with casual sex
To get that gratification from someone makes them feel happy
Then the realization of them leaving them kicks in and they run to the next guy
Before they know it they have slept with just about every man in the state to run away from their fear of being hurt and alone
We as gay men should take the time to understand the men we come in contact with
If we are truly looking for true love then why settle for a sexual encounter with someone you know won't be there tomorrow
Know when to step back and review what you are in
Know when to ask the right questions and when to question a statement that seems untrue
Better yet, know when to walk away
You'll save yourself a lifetime of hurt and pain by following your instinct and not your sexual hunger
