I'd never try anything more involved than a brief fling with someone who is still closeted. It's just too strained and unnecessarily complicated otherwise.
Wow! Thanks, Mikey! That seroiously means alot to me. :crying:I missed you by the way. Did you have a good b-day?

Hrm. Sure. But only if you get to pick the drink. Having to drink what everybody else is drinking (grain alcahol) would make me barf in a hurry.

Well, she's not bleeding on the ballroom floor just for the attention...
Hey, people, slow down! I'm tryin' to -[keep up]-!
To the "closet situation"...
My current relationship is with a closeted individual, as it goes. In our sense, I visited him first, and even though we were very much in the closet (that is, I'm pretty much out, open, free, etc. about being homosexual, to where no one knows he is -- as in, I went back -[into]- the closet on my trip), we still had plenty of time to be alone, in private, by ourselves, etc... and to say that, I want to know one or two occasions, where he did some "things" that -- while I knew to be affectionate -- were very much friendly without question, and totally "straight," without being the other thing. (That said, when he comes out here, he'll pretty much be out of the closet, on my side of the world -- and he "promised" me to 'come out' sometime this year...)
... I completely forgot where I was going with this. But I agree with a majority of what -[blue]- and -[Kraj]- have said.
To what Teshevair said...
I have a similar problem, in wanting to "snuggle up" to people, and choosing not to / not being allowed to. While I did just state being open and free about my sexuality, I do -[not]- make it obvious. That said, there's a cute guy (claims hetero, I'm thinkin' bi, though) that I have the tendency to partially rest my head on his shoulder in my "Singing" class. Now, he knows I'm gay -- again, out in the open, almost no one cares where I live, anyway -- but he doesn't complain, doesn't mind, doesn't tell me to stop it or shrug me off or anything... I even stopped him after class, and specifically asked him, "If I ever make you uncomfortable or feel awkward, just tell me and I'll stop immediately, all right?" and he just smiled and said "All right, but ya don't, if that's what you're asking"...
To what Desolation Angel and Mikey said...
A secret, darker side of me misses alcohol, liquor, drinking, etc. (What other names could I give it?) 'Course, I'm only 19, so I don't know the extremes, but... in a sense, I stopped for my health, sanity, and relationships. Well, not necessarily the one with my boyfriend, though I don't regret the decision to remain clean and -[straight edge]- for him, either (that is, no smoking, no drinking, no promiscuous sex, etc.), but... yeah. I'm just into the idea of, hoping to keep this love with my beau until we're both of legal drinking age (or at least, till he is?), and then just drinkin' together until we fall into one of those sexual predicaments. Not a wild desire or craving, but just interested to see what happens once. Erm, yeah.
That said, and with everything else...
Question!
What would y'all define as "Cheating"?
Take it, as any way you would. When there's kissing on the lips? When there's cuddling, snuggling, etc.? I'm curious as to what the rest of ya think about this. I'm currently in the process of speakin' with my boyfriend about this now, or at least attempting to do so, but... moreso, while I am not whorin' myself out on the streets, I am -- like I said -- "resting my head on the shoulder of a cute guy in my Singing class," and though no desire or intent to pursue anything with him, d'ya guys think I should be doing that at all? ... figured I'd see what -[boundaries]- you guys set for yourselves / others here.
My opinion -- if I wouldn't want my partner to be doing it, then I certainly shouldn't be doing it. But if I'm comfortable with my partner doing it, then perhaps it's all right for me to do it. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.Not 100% sure if I'd stick beside that statement, though, but... hmm.
Nevermore: First I have to say that it's funny you say straight edge lol. My friend Chambers says he's Straight Edge all the time and it's hilarious to me. Hrm. He's really cute and straight but I always thought he was gay. Come make him gay for me!
And to your question about cheating: I dont' really know how intimate all that stuff is cuz I've never done it. If I experience that stuff I'd be able to tell you if I thought it was cheating. However, having said that, I'm a really really loyal guy and though I'm not a suspicious person I'd expect the same from my man. If I were in your shoes I know that resting my head on the shoulder of a cute guy would be very intimate to me. I actually have rested my head in the lap of one of my friends that was cute and it was sooo nice. I don't know if I'd want my boyfriend to feel that comfortable doing stuff like that with another man. Cuz I wouldn't be able to trust myself in that situation (granted I wouldn't put myself in that situation if I was with someone)
though I much prefer Monopoly [...], especially themed versions.
Edna Krabappoly?
Nevermore, in my humble opinion... cheating is any sexual or romantic activity you know would upset your partner. There's no absolute rule for everyone; the two of you have to talk about it honestly. My partner and I are very open. Pretty much the only way we can "cheat" on each other is to hookup with someone and keep it a secret, or literally start dating someone else. Other than that, it's pretty much a free-for-all. We've been together for five years.
But it's about what you're comfortable with, what he's comfortable with, and -frankly- how important it is to you to be free to have contact with other people.

The Golden Rule of forums: If you're going to be rude, be right. If you might be wrong, be polite.
Like Blue, I havent really done more than make-out with a girl, so I guess I would consider that cheating. I think anything that your partner wouldnt approve of is not-cool.
Anyways, as far as making games into drinking games... thats a ton of fun. I've don it with Magic, Poker, chess and go fish (although, I forgot how that one work, and I beleieve instead of saying go fish I said "ahahahaha ****er"). Drinking games are the best... hurry up spring break damnit!!!
One drinking game we played was this card game where all the cards were face down on the table. You pick a card and call red or black. If you call right then other people have to drink. If you call wrong then you have to drink.
2 through 10 is the number of seconds you have to drink. But if you get a face card then it changes. Like I think with a King if you guess it correctly then you play the thumb game. Any time during the rest of the game you can put your thumb on the table. Everyone else then has to put their thumb on the table. The last one with their thumb on the table has to chug. Sorta like spoons :). (that would be a fun drinking game!)
One of the face cards is that you go around naming things in a category. The first person that can't name something in the category or repeats one has to drink.
If you win on a non face card you can divide your seconds between any number of people. Thus ensuring that everyone gets drunk.
Thanks for the opinions, guys. Yeah, I know that I definitely need to speak with my boyfriend about it. In the case of the shoulder, though, I hadn't really thought of it as "intimate" (in a sense, as blue put it), but rather in the sense of being comfortable. Though I have grown to distrust myself at times, as it goes, so... and again, of course, if others could possibly view that as "intimate," who's to say my love wouldn't?
And a -[last]- after thought on that, being... faithful to my beau, in body, mind, spirit, etc. Most importantly, though, being my heart, and that's reserved for him and him only, of course. I just wouldn't want to do anything at all hat might make him consider otherwise of me. (I admit, I even stress at times over whether something I do would be "disappointing" for me. Like, if he asked me to stop "the jerk," then I'd really consider doing so, upon having good reason for it.)
... yeeaaahhhh...
Friday, whee! ... now c'mon, Spring Break...

Now. Drunk Spoons. Too dangerous?
Forgive the ignorance... I thought Spoons was a restaurant? (In addition to being an eating utensil...)
Spoons is a card game. Though, it might be a restaurant and is definetly an eating utensil..

Mikey's been sick yesterday and today. Poor kid...I hope he's better tomorrow.
Musical's "unofficial opening night" went of rediculously well! WOO! We had an audience of about 120 senior citizens [who had a spaghetti dinner before]...
for one scene, there's a single door that gets wheeled to the front curtain, and the curtain gets pulled around it...the old people thought it was rediculously funny. We started calling it the "Mystery Door Of Surprises!"
Oh, great times had by all, indeed. Five more shows, too! WOOOO! God I love this time of year. AND it's sunny and warm out too. Wooo.

And for the other situation, I'll just chime in and state that, I suppose it's dependant on your character, personality, etc. For me, no one would really catch the "are you hitting on me?" POV from askin' that kind of question, but ya don't have to make it sound so serious, too. Sometimes, I try jokin' around something at first, then slowly turning it into a serious convo... works sometimes, but no real problem if it doesn't, since you were just jokin' at first. Kinda like random slang, then a "heh, interesting" or whichever transitioning statement, into a shock and "... wait, what?" or "whoa, no, really now" or something...
Maybe that's not the best way to describe it, but it certainly works on me... erm, heh. ^^;;
We can't participate, though, as we're an Overclan and suchlike, and many of us are in other clans.
Part of the conditional of Gaymers members being privileged with the ability to be in more than one clan was the loss of the ability to enter contests.

That pretty much sums it up (though I don't really like the term 'overclan'). Part of the agreement that allowed our posts to count (which was our main reason for clanization) and to allow members to have memberships with both ourselves and another clan was that we wouldn't be a true clan. Only a pseudo-clan that was in the clan forum.
We don't participate in clan contests, nor do we really participate in the clan council. That means that we're not eligible for clan of the year, but I feel that sacrifice was worth it in the long run.
Help has come in the form of a bit of basic algebra. I feel that it'll shed some light on your problem here.
Basically:
S + T = W
...S in this case stands for 'spam' and the T stands for 'light trolling'. And the W? That stands for 'Warning'. I love math. -- {mikeyG}
I typically only text people if I know that they don't want their phone ringing, like during school or a movie or something. Anyways, I am completely stuck in Eternal Darkness I don't know where to go.
The only time I ever do any sort of texting is... when... sending photos / pics / images / snapshots / etc... or... when responding to a text message. It's five cents for every message I send or receive, 'cause it seems more effort than it's worth, in the long run, but yeah.
