You seem like you had been disappointed or hurt in this video. Sometimes expectations and reality dont come together. For me wanting to meet the "ONE" always took over. I have had some beautiful, unforgetable life changing relationships. Havent found the one. Traveled the world in the Air force had amazing times,made life long friendships. Still looking for that magic feeling. i hope you werent disappointed. I hope no one let you down. I am 45 and i believe he is out there. Keep smiling Erik
@joedawggg08 Hello, no I wasn't disappointed or hurt in this video. I'm just too busy at the moment try to meet guys. I don't feel like I will be ready until after I graduate from college (about 1 year).
Ohhh my heavens you're incredible!! I love how you're able to say things so clearly and logically. I get too whirled up in emotions and artistic ways of thinking of things.
Hi Erik Its only going to get worse. First of all sex is greatly overrated. For years now dating and in a committed relationship lasting months sex is choir . Yeah that's the sad reality . Another piece of lie you and my "baby boomer" generation parents feed you with. Their love is based on their ridiculous bad relationship management and some post hippie era remnants transformed into some kind of unattainable ideal of "LOVE" over their man years and fading memories and then feed their children
@SimontheSorceror I had to compress it youtube only allows limited characters . Don't liste to advices like : Get your degree..get a good job so you can make some decent money and then go to the next level! BUT! If the next levels smacks you in the face then GO FOR IT! There is no real answer..life is so fragile. This is too general, broad to be of any use or simply they are just way off ( altough good-hearted I admit ) Listen to peole only that go through the same as you.
@SimontheSorceror btw. I like your metahor for mating season the truth is you were a virgin now you experiecied it you will realize its not such a big deal
Erik..I hear ya!! Get your degree..get a good job so you can make some decent money and then go to the next level! BUT! If the next levels smacks you in the face then GO FOR IT! There is no real answer..life is so fragile..no one is promised tomorrow.....
Keep warm up there....so tired of living in the Arctic! you are further up there than us! :)
This is how I feel right now too, except I'm in my senior year with one more to go until I graduate as an electrical engineer. My class load is just too crazy to start a relationship with another guy at the moment, even though there are so many cute ones running around! Oh well, I'm sure we'll all have plenty of time for that later!
If you feel like you don't have enough time at the moment for a relationship, then it's probably best to wait until you do. My boyfriend broke up with me after about two months because he felt like he didn't have enough time. I really liked him a lot so it ended up breaking my heart. My advice is to wait until you know you're ready for a relationship, and that you make sure you're with someone who is also wanting and willing to commit! :)
lol. So romantic, Erik. Gondola rides in Venice! That's great, but so is just having great sex sometimes. I don't know if this is true of you, but some people, as they used to their sexuality, feel they need true love to justify sexual desire, probably because they feel that pure lust is somehow wrong. Personally, I like lust and romance, both, though they don't always coincide.
You never know, irony could strike and you meet the perfect guy just as you decide you don't want a bf - has happened to me and I turned him down because of it.
Aww you're so cute! Don't worry! there is someone out there for everyone! But you are right, you need to be focused on school! Like fined fun, just do what is really important
Geez, I thought I was the only one who had that spring fever thing goin on. Even though I'm happy being single once in a while I see a guy who throws my stability off kilter. Damn that CVS Pharmacy stud !!!
Erik, it seems as if you have changed since going to Europe! You are more grounded and mature - you learned something about yourself that made you grow.
Erik, sometimes you meet the really special people when you least expect it, without even trying. Just don’t totally discount the idea of meeting someone nice, as you never know. x
Hi, Erik, it's great to see you again! I'm glad to hear you're doing OK and things are going well for you. I think you're wise to stay focused on your grades and earning your degree - you will still be young and gorgeous when you graduate. Your future BF is waiting, and wonderful, exciting times awaits both of you. :-)
Erik, if I were closer to what you're probably looking for age-wise, and, if we lived close enough, I would sooooo ask you out on a date. Just sayin.... :-) good luck in your hunt for a lucky guy...Venice would be awesome to see with you..
I set those same priorities for myself. I finished college and fell in love when I was 24. Ideally that would have happened at 22 but as the song says "Hold the line; Love isn't always on time..". P.S. When we were in Venice I was a little nervous about getting on and off the gondola; I can't swim and it seemed a little shaky going from land to the boat and vice versa. The really cool thing is that we took a private motor boat from the airport to St. Mark's Square. I'll never forget that!
@Peter777t I really am quite young. There needn't be any immediate rush. The gondola is shaky, the gondolier offered me his hand as I was getting off and I gladly accepted. A boat from the airport to St. Mark's Square would be a memorable experience. Venice is a nice place. I look forward to going back.
@neppy503 I thought about putting a photo of him in the video. He was quite buff, not bad looking, but I wasn't attracted to him. I might as well focus on my education, An education will affect my whole life.
I agree man but relationships are terrible in my experience ive sworn them off totally and as far as sex goes i can take care of myself hahaha but man gay ppl are just too shady for me to mate for life with but good luck
@StraightActingGayGuy I guess we slightly differ here. I want to be in a relationship. That being said, it has to be with a guy that treats me well. My ex did, but it was due to ...other reasons...that we could not continue the relationship :'(
I love Venice. I hope you were not on your own in that gondola. It shouldn't happen!

You're very dedicated to your education, it's the smart choice but probably the more difficult one sometimes.
Do you think it's just valentines day that get's you thinking about it then it takes a while to get it out of your mind?
Good luck with your studies! (and a bf should you so choose)

I like how you are focused on pursuing your education first, then finding love.
I have a question... Was the guy piloting the gondola a hunk? Did you make him sing a love song to you? lol
