slowly coming out; and trying to enjoy dating

i wonder what people think, if they notice. that slowly but surely, i am friending gay venues on fb which are then broadcasted to pretty much all 400 of my friends. hell, i don't care anymore. i mean, i'm at the point where networking and meeting people is becoming a need to survive, to be happy, in this new phase of my life. i am just surprised at how easy it was, or how easy it feels, to become more participatory...

things to look forward to.....

1. AIDS walk in april with the gay catholic group
2. small theater productions in march (meeting a whole new group of folks through a friend of mine)
3. new facebook networking (we will see where this goes.. 'cold' calling....)
4. upcoming dates with a variety of guys (met through cl, gay catholic group, or friends)
5. arts council venues... (gay community have 'friended' these venues as well... good sign)
6. participating in the catholic gay group.. which now meets regularly
7. participating in the young gay group, who also meets regularly, and am feeling more comfortable now

all of these items above i hope will decrease my need to surf cl for hookups, and pine for a relationship... i figure right now, my goal is to meet as many people as possible, and try to get a feel for the environment and what is out there. i should not feel obligated to commit exclusively to somebody right now, which in some ways is causing me some anxiety because i do not want to disappoint anybody, or lead them on in the wrong way. i guess this is part of the dating game..... the dating game i have never really played, b/c in the hetero world, i zoned in on one woman and stuck with her,,.. which in hindsight... may have been due to my insecurities... (i.e.. thank goodness i have just met somebody, now i don't have to pretend to be straight, because i am dating a woman now). 

so perhaps this is what dating is all about? going on dates with mutliple people, meeting lots of guys, and having fun..

imagine that!
