Your views on dating someone very similar (emotionally)?
I am a 24 year old gay guy and reaching the point in my life where I want to start having serious relationships. I dated a girl a couple of years back, but you can pretty much guess why that one failed. The concept of dating was always a mystery to me, but I recently find myself longing for an emotional connection on a deeper level. I met this guy (7 years older than me) who I am falling for but we are both emotionally distant and I have found that it seems to be rather difficult to express our feelings for one another. I kind of know that he feels the same way as I do, but I guess we are both reluctant and fearful that we may appear clingy or needy to one another. We went out over the weekend and I managed to say that I like him and interested to see how this relationship develops, but now I don't really know how to go forward! Any tips for a dating newbie?

Hey, there is no correct way to express your emotions. :)
Listen; if you both feel the same about each other then the worst thing that can happen is that you try it out and it fails, at least you can move on then.
Try not to be worried at *how* to express your feelings and just do what comes naturally.
As for being with someone similar to yourself...
It differs from person to person. One of my very good friends is in a relationship where they are almost identical in bahaviour, emotion and interests, they are doing great!
Me and my wife are quite different, but we're doing great!
Do what works for you and take it one step at a time.
