<p>On a whim I called up a guy from GCN on Saturday and ended up talking to him for about five hours. Talked to him again today for about an hour and a half.</p>
<p>I hope he doesn&#8217;t read this.</p>
<p>I really like him. Don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever connected as deeply with someone in such a short amount of time as I already have with him. We&#8217;ve been messaging back and forth for about two weeks now and I&#8217;m trying not to read too much into this, because we just met; but I&#8217;ve never looked forward to talking to someone as much as I look forward to talking to him now. I&#8217;m starting to understand now what&#8217;s so intoxicating about wanting to be with someone. It&#8217;s a nice feeling waking up with a big grin and thinking about someone.</p>
<p>Was practically giddy on Friday when we set a call date; anticipating actually hearing his voice and being able to interact. He lives kind of far away, but I still really like him and have told him so. He&#8217;s said the same to me. We share a lot of the same values, and seem to want the same things out of a relationship from what I can tell.</p>
<p>What scares me is that I&#8217;ve never been in any sort of relationship, and that&#8217;s what I want right now; so I fear that my expectations may be a little high, even though I&#8217;m practically forcing myself to not have any.</p>
<p>That, and I&#8217;m essentially fresh out of the closet here. It hasn&#8217;t even been a year, and I want to think I&#8217;ve found the man of my dreams. He isn&#8217;t perfect, but he&#8217;s an amazing guy at the same time. It&#8217;s just so hard finding a &#8220;normal&#8221; homosexual guy (i.e., who isn&#8217;t a flaming queen) when they&#8217;re so rare, or at least hard to find. But who knows who I&#8217;ll meet in the next year.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t want to miss out on this if there&#8217;s even a chance with this guy though.</p>
<p>And I don&#8217;t even want to look at pornography now! That&#8217;s a first in a long time. I mean, I <em>want</em> to, but I don&#8217;t <em>need</em> to—not when I have an awesome guy who thinks I&#8217;m hot and who I think is equally as smokin&#8217; sexy.</p>
<p>If this is what being homosexual is about, being crazy about a truly masculine guy who thinks the same of me, then this is okay.</p>
<p>And man, I could listen to him talk all afternoon/night. He has a little bit of a southern accent and it is so sexy. Thinking about him makes my chest ache in that one place and my stomach goes all weird.</p>
<p>This is just crazy.</p>
