Today, I was talking to a fellow I met on here, who lives several states away. We've been talking for some time and have a lot of the same ideas, interests, and history. The miles between us and a few other issues makes it impossible for us to meet, but we remain good pen-pals.
He's in his early 50s and has been bi-curious since high school, but has never acted on his urges. Recently divorced, he decided to advertise for a like-minded fellow, in hopes that, if they "click" they can explore a friendship and maybe their sexuality, too. He was very specific and careful to spell out what he would like to do with someone who's interests were the same as his.
The first person who answered his ad, gave him a number to call. He dialed it, getting a familiar voice on the other end. Thinking he was mistaken, he continued listening to the fellow, until he was positive he knew the person.
He then, asked the guy his name and it was who he thought it was! He proved to be a fellow he'd known for years, felt attractions for, but had never admitted it!
When the guy on the other end of the line confirmed who he was, my friend also identified himself...the guy was elated! He's also felt the same way, but had refrained from coming out, as well!
They agreed to meet, had coffee, and found out they had many more things in common than they ever dreamed.
They have a date planned for tomorrow. They are going fishing, then out to eat tomorrow evening.
I think it's remarkable that they'd known each other for years and had the same desires and dreams.
I really hope it works out for them.
Life can deliver surprises, still!
Anyone else had a situation that had an amazing and surprising out-come?
