Hormone Buffet

Ever since the other day...when I posted my picture up on
HotOrNot, and then took it a step further to post an (eek!)
on-line personal...I've gotten interest!

It's funny, actually. I can walk down a New York street,
catch a few glances, and that's it. But HERE...here on the
internet?
I suppose it's like putting a big sign made out of colored
neon poster board and big permanent markers over my head
that reads,
"I'm here, I'm queer,
and I can't just be had for the price of a beer."

And when I check out HotOrNot, there are guys who want to
meet...ME! It's great. Now, I need to supress the 'kid
loose in a candystore' feeling, lest I become a slutty
youngster once more (don't worry...won't happen).

And when I came in this morning, there were six e-mails
waiting from guys who want to meet...ME! So cool. And the
youngest of tehm have been 19 and 20. Now, I am rather
reluctant to date someone who's so young (like I'm really
that old?) but I would never say NEVER.
It's awfully flattering anyway (and here, I throw the
population of respectable gay men back about ten years), to
be told by a cute-as-all-hells 20 year old guy that he
think's you are hot.

Hot! Such compliments (though appreciated) should not be
winning me over!...well, I guess there's little more to
compliment on without a bit of human-interaction.

Of all the guys who have turned up, there was one amongst
them that really caught my eye...a guy named Brian, who's
looks remind me of a cartoon chipmunk.
He's got huge brown eyes, adorable Dumbo ears, and his
smile is just about as innocent as a smile can get. Do you
know that feeling, when you can just look at someone's
picture, and you just KNOW that they are a really good
person? That's the feeling I got from his picture.

So, he and I chatted a bit on-line, and then last night we
talked on the phone for nearly two hours before we both
agreed it would probably be better to sleep if we both
needed to be up early for work. We've hit it off...so
far...and now I'll just see what happens.

But it's NOT at the point where I'm burning my bridges just
yet. I've made that mistake before and ended up with a lot
of "What If's..." and lost some great guys (i.e. Tomas,
from 'Missing: One Jungle Boy' entry).

Although I think Brian has some serious potential, he's not
a boyfriend yet. And won't be yet.
But he and I have too too much in common, especially the
fact that we only live about five minutes apart. Scary,
huh?

But I was very tired when I got off the phone with
him...due to the horrible April Fool's Joke that New Jersey
Transit played on me Monday night...

(stay tuned for THAT titillating tale of terror)
