Alright...

So I've been in the closet for a quite a while but eventually I came out to my parents at the beginning of the year. They were quite upset with me and for a period of about 4 months it was absolute hell in our house. Eventually though, it seems that they have gotten over it after I had had to leave my previous boyfriend.

Then, a month ago, I met another amazing guy online. He practically saved me from committing suicide by offering me a shoulder to cry on (I was then still extremely depressed about my parents' reaction to me coming out). He told me to be myself, regardless of what my folks were thinking / "demanding" from me. He was in a similar position though with his folks also not approving of him being gay.

We started chatting online for about two weeks and after that, we met up in person one Saturday. The sparks, at least from my side, instantly flew and I fell head over heels in love with him. He seemed to indicate the same towards me. A week later we met again and went hiking together - one of the most amazing days of my life.

Then, this past weekend, we made plans to see each other again. And things changed... He told me he told his mother about me and that she is now prohibiting him from seeing me. I told him I understood how this must've made him feel, cause I have been in the exact same position (that was afterall the position he met me in initially - after I had had to leave my previous boyfriend to keep my folks happy).

Since this (happened Friday), things between us haven't been the same. He doesn't call or sms me anymore and is barely online anymore. When we are both online, we "fight" a lot and there's this awful tension between us. This morning I when he went offline after we chatted I said "Tata. M." and he replied "yeah, I didn't know who I was talking to." So I replied "that makes two of us." Just because it doesn't feel like the same guy anymore...

I'm so upset about this, because I really fell hard for him and I thought it was mutual. But now, with him and his mom being at each other over me, things have changed. I just find it ironic that he was the one that told me to live my life despite my folks, but now he is being inhibited by them. It probably figures that, once I met the man of my dreams and now actually don't mind telling me folks its' just too bad if they don't approve, the man I love doesn't feel that strong enough about me.

Is there anything I can do? Should I try and forget about him? Should I hang in there? If so, how do I "rebuild" our relationship to what it was?

Seems every song on this is going to be excellent!!

(And I never really was a Britney Fan till I heard Hold it Against Me and Till the World Ends)

Cannot wait for this!

I need to know this now so that I can start to live my life as a gay person, or I need to put away all the feelings I currently have for men, for good and accept it as a phase I'm going though or just mere uncertainty.

Due to me doubting myself in the first place is it not a sign that I am not really gay? Maybe I'm just craving for companionship in my life and it is pure coincidence that I have been finding this is a man?

So yes. My question is, how do you know if you are really gay and its' not just "fascination" or confusion?

So...

I recently came out to my parents by them confronting me about me being very close to one of my male friends and I admitted, yes, he's actually my boyfriend. They didn't take this too well and esspecially my mother told me that she'd rather die than have her son being a homosexual. That its a slap in God's face telling Him "Hey God, guess what, You made a mistake when You made me."

In short though, we have been fighting quite heavily and they ave somehow influenced me and made me feel so guilt sticken that I have decided to break up with my boyfriend as the mere mention of his name is causing such pain and such a situation at home that this seemed to be the only way out of this.

This is also the 2nd time this has happened to me. Now my parents will see me sad and miserable for a few weeks (months, years inside) and one day I will fall for another guy and history will repeat itself once again.

What am I supposed to do? I am feeling absolutely powerless!!! I jut want to go to sleep and never wake up but I'm even too cowardly to do that.

Ok...

I don't understand how someone can be so unforgettable.

I met somebody in December last year and we had a relationship for about a month and a half. Now looking back at it, it was the best month and a half of my life.

We broke up at that stage due to me putting the happiness of other people ahead of my own - people did not like me being in a relationship with this person and I succumbed to it. Now, I'm regretting this every second of every day.

We haven't spoken to each other in over 4 months now (February 6th being the last day that we did), and when I try to contact the other person, I get flat ignored. Countless messages and mails and phone calls later, they don't respond to me. Yet from my side, I can't seem to forget the time we spent together.

Like I said, it consumes me every second of every day. I can't stop thinking about this person; about what we had, about what we could have had had I NOT put others' happiness and contentment in front of my (our) own.

People have advised me to remove everything that reminds me of this person and our time together, but I find that this doesn't even help. It really doesn't.

Sorry. This is probably not a question as such, but an outlet for pent-up anger at myself. But, if there's any other advise out there, I'll galdly accept it?

Unforgettable.

1. The evolution theory

The Bible tells us that God created humans in His image, with the first two of these being Adam and Eve. Then, in stark contrast thereto, we have the evolution theory of Charles Darwin, providing scientific evidence that all life on Earth evolved over zillions of years- that humans were once apes, which once were fish. Scientific evidence for this, versus the Bible not making reference to humans in any form other than what we interpret to be humans today. The Bible does not make reference to homosapiens, dinosaurs and the likes thereof – yet we have hard evidence that these existed – more than a billion years ago.

How do we reconcile these two opposing views?

2. The theory of love

The Bible tells us that God created man and woman to be together, fall in love, reproduce etc. The Bible opposes strongly against love shared between members of the same sex (1 Cor 6:9, being but one example thereof). In contrast to this, the Bible also teaches us that Love is the most pure of emotions. That it knows no boundaries and does not differentiate. The Bible “tells” us that God hates homosexuals, yet it teaches us that God loves us for who and what we are. The Bible teaches us to be homosexual is sinful, yet how can something that is not a choice, but a scientific condition, be considered to be a sin?

Again, how do we reconcile these two opposing views?

Serious answers only please. This is a serious matter for many of us, I believe.

-> Straight-acting? What would define straight-acting? What exactly needs to be acted in a straight-way? Does this mean no indication of homosexuality in public whatsoever?

-> Top versus bottom?

Apologies for my ignorance!

Is this the most anticipated season of any television show in history or what?!

I have been shot down by some of my friends for listening to Tori Amos and they have questioned whether straight, i.e. heterosexual men actually listen to her music? Hence, I thought I'd ask the broader public. Your comments?

1. A bat and a ball costs $1.10. If the bat costs $1.00 more than the ball, how much does the ball cost?

2. If 5 machines can make 5 widgets in 5 minutes, how long will it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?

3. On a pond, there grows water lillies. Each day, the water lilies double in quantity. If the pond was overgrown (i.e. full) by lillies on the 48th day, on which day was the pond half full?

What is your favourites from it?

I enjoy Welcome to England, Flavor, Curtain Call and Give.

Or is this only coincidence?

I heard he wrote Butterfly Kisses for his daughter - is this Belinda Carlisle?

When trying to find the Facebook home page on my pc, I get the

"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error message. It doesn't seem to be a problem with Facebook's server, cause other people seem to be able to log on??

I've tried clearing my browsing history and deleting cookies, but it doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions?

Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer?

a husband and wife has been nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress in the same year? The married couple in question? Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, of course. Nominated for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and The Changeling in said categories respectively.

He seems very familiar. If I am correct, he seems to be Glenn Fitzgerald (Bryan Darling from Dirty Sexy Money)?

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
