I’m myself usually and mostly attracted to other guys (very rarely to women, it happens sometimes but rarely, that’s why I’ve never managed to have a girlfriend) but 1) it’s not really that safe to be out in the area where I live 2) everyone around me is aggressively homophobic and I care too much about how others perceive me 3) A “straight” life (being a husband, a father, having a traditional family has always been my dream. So taking the above into consideration I either have to live a celibate life (the thing is: people may start suspecting things and life will get dangerous) or find a girlfriend (difficult, maybe possible in my case but I don’t want to hurt anyone or waste their time). So here I am to hear your stories and maybe get a word of advice. I’m only 21 but my life is starting to feel… lonely. And I might have just become that one “leftover friend” lol. I feel the pressure to sort things out and at least find a direction in my life submitted by /u/mayoMayor25
