KEEPING GOING ON AT A MINIMUM LEVEL WITH A GAY GUY
#1
Hi Project, 
I write to you because I have exhausted the list of possible recipients.
It's more a way to let off steam than anything else, if you are there and if the forum still works, ok, otherwise it will be like having put a message in a bottle that has been lost in the ocean, but anyway I would have lost just a little time writing.

I’m 36, friends ... just someone, real friends ... I don't even know. There is a guy who interests me, he is not my boyfriend, I’m not in love with him, I don't know if I would do anything for him, maybe not, but somehow I like him. Incidentally, I never understood those of “all or nothing”, lost lovers and things like that, for me the fundamental person is always and only one: myself. 

I never had a real boyfriend, that is I never lived a couple life, I did a little sex, and just a little, but then no crazy enthusiasm. I'd like to be with a guy but first of all in order to fight a battle together, to collaborate in everyday life, even to have sex, but if we reduce everything to that, well, then this guy or that one it’s all the same, more or less. I was talking about the guy who interests me, ... what can I say? 

He fascinates me but I realize that a real dialogue is not possible, he’s always angry with the world, anxious, resentful (not with me, or at least with me only very rarely). Sometimes he calls me and I like it but I don't understand why he calls me. What do you want from me? Sex? Project, please note that he’s a handsome guy and on the contrary I’m not handsome at all. 

For him, it wouldn’t take too much commitment  to find a bit of sex and sometimes it happens, when he has no one there is me always or at least sometimes available, certainly it's not a problem for me, by now he doesn’t even make me more proposals, he tells me that I always say no (it's what I usually do), but if he’s the first one to tell me in the face that he doesn't want to feel bound, why does he look for me? 

But then of the fact that he has other guys honestly I don't care at all, but I wish he had more respect for me, for example I can't stand when he tells me that the next day he will come to see me and then he doesn't come, or when we have to meet but then he skips our meeting because obviously he has more interesting proposals. But all this, ok, it's his business, I'm not his boyfriend, but a bit of respect, I don't say loyalty, but he really should have at least a minimal respect. He tells me to call him and then he puts the answering machine and he never answers. 

One day he asks me to drive him to another city, almost 200 km away, he could go by train, but he suggests that we go together, I insist on going with my car, he finally accepts. We leave early in the morning, obviously he doesn't even tell me what it's going to do. We talk a bit in the car, but he seems unnerved. We arrive at the destination, he gives me an appointment in the center for two in the afternoon, then he goes down to take the subway. 

Obviously, at two o'clock he doesn't arrive and not even at three o'clock, his phone is disconnected, he doesn't answer until 9.00 pm, then he sends me a text message and tells me he had nerves and took the train to came back home. He must have left at least three hours earlier, but obviously he hasn't warned me. I went back alone and I can say that the trip made me reflect! 

I must regain my autonomy. At 36, I must understand that certain things make no sense. Note, Project, that I speak of a simple friendship, but even a simple friendship should be something minimally serious, otherwise one lives much better alone! Once at home I called him back and he told me he didn't have time because he had a job to finish, and I also regretted calling him back.

Of course, solitude is a value! I know it very well, and then when he calls me we end up with clarifications and recriminations, he tells me that he can't feel comfortable because of me, because I’m anxious and neurotic and I transmit my anxiety to him. I know that he has so many problems and also very serious ones, but if he tells me he was wrong to tell me about it, why does he call me first? But if he talks to me about something I have to tell him what I think about and not what he wants to hear and from there the piqued answers or better the total absence of answers. 

We have two very different ways of looking at life, he tells me that I was born old and that I will be alone all my life, but then what will he do? He is now 31, and when you have had many guys it is like not having had one, but he thinks I will be the only one who will remain alone, he accuses me of reasoning like his parents, of avoiding risks even at the cost of living less intensely, he accuses me of always running away, of not deciding, of being ambiguous, of keeping one foot in two shoes. Why can't I have a minimally serious dialogue with this guy without ending up in endless squabbles? 

He is as he is, now I can only adapt, and then why does he get angry with me? Because probably when he talks about nonsense or sex all guys follow him, but when he enters the melancholic tone (which often happens to him) then no one listens to him or sometimes people give him reason just to make him feel happy. 

I wonder, Project, what has all this to do with the fact of being gay? Certainly anyway there is some link, because I would clearly not be following a girl like I follow him, that is, putting apart also my dignity! But why do two gays end up having these problems? And then starting from things of life in general, which have nothing to do with sex or emotional life. But maybe all these things are somehow linked! 

Project, I'm tired, very tired, I can't take to repeat the same speeches over and over again, maybe I'm just old inside and I'm learning not to hope for anything and to let things go as they must go. I know it would be much more hygienic and healthy to end this relationship, if it is a relationship, but it is not easy even to end it. What problems! Ten years ago I used to think it was easier! And people are always talking about gay marriage! The real problem is being able to get along with a guy even at minimal levels.

Hi Project and if you are there, make you heard.
