Sydney Gay Life

After spending 4.5 years in sydney especially the sydney gay scene occasionally, i am tired of it and find it a total bore. I think this usually applies to every major city when you spend a period of time living there. On the first Friday night of 2007, i didnt really feel like going out drinking or dancing especially along Oxford St. However, i ended up meeting this guy, Jackson from the gay online community and having a drink with him at a bar before heading off to Oxford St to meet his friends. He is only 19yo making me feel so much older. I wasnt sure if we clicked for more. Anyhow, it is always good to have more friends.

After rejecting the invitation to Havana Club (a straight club) with his friends, i bumped into my flatmate and friends at a coffee house. We got into talking about the love life of a single.

D: How long have you been single?
J: 3 years.
D: Why do you think you been single for so long? Do you think there is something wrong with you?
J: Dont ask me, ask the guys i dated. I would like to think i am fine.

The conversation sumed it up. Why do people think there is something wrong with us being singles after a period of time? I know that a lot of singles are looking out for their great love but we just couldnt find a match. Most of the time, the guy dont find us as their potential partner. Love always is a two-way street. Nevertheless, gay guys have high expectation and hence make it harder to pair up a match. Am i happy being single? Yes and No. Yes because i dont have to oblige to anyone or commitment. No because i feel lonely sometimes and want to give my attention/love to someone.
