Gay. Conservative. Real. Dating at 37 without the rainbow performativity. No OnlyFans, no scripts, no pretentious triggers
- just honest, true stories.

7 months post-breakup, I finally took #Grindr a bit seriously. Began scrolling through profiles: 📱
"Too #goodlooking for me." "Too far away." "No photo? Can't be a*sed."
Was I ready to get back in the game?... sort of.

Read the Room. Things are not like you thought, are they?

🤔When you go on the first date with a guy, do you not expect him to let you know whether he likes you, at least in some remote way whatsoever?

If you don't care, why go out with him?😲
If you care, why do you not do the same?😡

His #tinder photos were "flattering." His personality was sweet. So why did I spend the whole evening planning my escape? #gayDating at 37 is brutal.

👬First date back after a decade-long relationship. I knew within 8 minutes it was over.💀

But what happened with Linus made me realise more about modern #gaydating etiquette than any #datingapp ever could.

No longer living in the house where I lived with someone for 13 years..
I knew very well what I needed to change:
🍝Diet
🏃‍♂️Exercise
🤔Mindset
The 3rd was also the most difficult. To say I haven't fully mastered it even now would be an understatement.

Rock bottom has one advantage: there's nowhere lower to go.💪
After 13 years with someone, I had to learn how to rebuild myself. Not my ego - myself.
[Spoiler: It involves a lot of old movies and gym sessions]

Two years ago my world shifted. I had a long-term relationship with Shae—about 13 years.
We met [...] fell in love [...] weathered so much together, including difficult situations... and then we...

People aren't digits or thumbnails. They're humans with feelings.📱➡️👤
Modern #gaydating has made us forget basic courtesy. If someone expresses interest give them a RESPONSE.
It costs you nothing & saves them days of wondering.

At 21, I thought gay dating was complicated👬. At 37, I'm documenting the chaos. 📝

Ghosting, zombieing, narcissism - when did telling someone you like them become so difficult? Writing it all down because someone needs to say this stuff out loud. 😼

🧑‍🤝‍🧑If you'd finally welcome some decent, thoughtful content on #GayDating in our weird world..
If you hardly care about labels & stereotypes..
If you're navigating modern #gayromance but could live without the #rainbowflag..
