Seems odd that I'm writing one of these now after posting and visiting the board for years, but I'm a little bored this morning and figured I would write a few sentences about myself.

I grew up in a small town in south Alabama as the only child of two people who thought they couldn't have children. My parents loved me and gave me most everything I wanted. Still I didn't have many friends as a youngster and wanted to leave when I had the chance. I went to college right after high school and it was a little better but I still felt like something was missing.

Post college I moved to Memphis, Tennessee for work and finally figured out I'm gay. It took some time to work through the guilt I felt over it. I decided to move to Atlanta to be closer to my parents plus live in a bigger city. I've been here for almost 10 years now and while it isn't perfect it's home for sure.

I lost my dad last fall to cancer. He wasn't thrilled that I'm gay but I know he loved me. Since that time I've been a little down in the dumps with the knowledge that my mother is really all I have left. I've been unable to sustain any kind of romantic relationship and truly wish I had someone to come home to at night.

My friendships aren't numerous but they are good ones. However, I've noticed for the past couple of years that they have all virtually paired off. I am happy they've all seemed to find such great wives or partners yet I've stayed away many nights wondering where is my own companion.

I'm not a 10 in the looks department but I don't think I"m bad looking. I have a decent job and people seem to like me for the most part but for whatever reason I can't seem to generate any interest in me as a companion. I have met some great guys but the pattern is we go out a couple of times and then they either stop calling or say they aren't interested.

Just saying hello and venting a little this morning. Thanks for listening.

Good morning, Buddy, and I hope having a place like this to vent or otherwise express yourself makes you feel better.
My prayers and sympathy for the loss of your father. I hope you and your mother cherish your time together.
I hope you find the things in life that you're looking for.
