e all want boyfriends, but choosing the right one is a big issue.  I had always known that, but I recently learned how important it really is.  I met someone my age, in my city, who is gay.  We talk on the phone, and get together occasionally.  You might be thinking "Wow, Oreo's finally got a boyfriend," but sadly the answer is no.  After quite a few conversations, we had both resolved that we were incompatible, and therefore, shouldn't be dating.  As much as this downside seems so huge, the upside is that we both have a gay friend to talk to; and believe me, that is a very precious type of friend to have. --But it's better when you have a closer friend.

ou must choose your partner carefully.  First start out as friends, and see what you like and dislike.  Often, relationships tend to make people bury part of their honesty and they make themselves live with some contradicting characteristics.  Having similar beliefs and goals helps too.  If you're both working towards the same thing, you'll get there faster and happier because you did it together.  Different beliefs might be a problem if you're really into them, and having an intimate relationship with someone of different beliefs could be a problem.  Unless the other is willing to give up, or put their beliefs away, you're going to have to deal with it, or leave altogether.

ou have to be friends first.  Enjoy each other's company, and not get sick of seeing each other.  As well, constant intimacy gets redundant after a while.  Although this may seem impossible, it does happen.  If you see each other on a daily basis, it might help to have a discussion about intimacy with your partner.  Maybe after being rather intensely intimate for quite some time, take a week off.  Don't come to a complete halt and stop seeing each other for that time.  Just keep the friendship from going too romantic, or the romance from becoming sex. How much is too much?  You decide.  This will keep your relationship fresh because intimacy won't be something you overdo.

iscussing things is another very important part of the package.  If you maturely discuss issues within the relationship, or anything that has to do with it, you will find that things will run smoother.  Honesty is a very good quality.  If you and your partner are open and honest with each other, there will be no "dark secrets" that may corrupt your relationship later on.  As well, do not attempt to control anyone.  It will only blow up in your face.  Be compassionate and empathetic.  Think about how you would feel in the same situation, and at the same time remember that your mate is a different person.  Ask him how he feels about things.  Anything you want to discuss.  Even other boys.

aving common interests is another positive thing too.  Not only does it give you a reason to spend time together, it also enhances your relationship by bringing you closer in a non sexual way.  As we all know, there is more to a relationship than love and sex.  A relationship is a mutual thing, and by getting to know one another by doing suff together makes it more fun and rewarding for both of you.

emember that your relationship is your own business.  Whether you chose to advertise it is up to both of you.  In today's society many people feel uneasy around gay couples, so you might want to go out as just friends, and only get personal when the right degree of privacy exists.
