Wait 6-8 months before referring to someone as your boyfriend. Until then, say you're dating or "seeing each other." It's kind of tragic to say "we broke up" about someone you met like 1 month earlier. Being able to say "we're not dating" or "we're not seeing each other anymore" is way more casual and way less serious.
I know Sam hasn't used the words "boyfriend" or "break-up" in any of this. It's just something I've noticed about gay guys in general. How ready they are to make something official and tell others they're in a relationship, or that *this person* is "my boyfriend." Too many young, gay men seem like they need to refer to someone as their boyfriend to validate themselves.
Sure, maybe not Sam. But this just reminded me of it and, as usual, I've gone off on a rant. Soz. Again.

Smh u need to speak for yourself. What works for u, does not work for everybody else. Personally i have no intention of devoting 6months of my life to "just dating". commitment-phobic gays arent my type anyways
Can a mod pls close this thread? The title and the quote dont match. Let Sam live atrl. Like it or not, he's found a boy!!!
