I'm happy that this person is now adult and is self avowed gay.

Wonderfully elfin as a child he stayed good looking all the way to his current young adulthood. An actor. I am not ging to reveal him, that would be cheating. It took me a lot of good guesswork to find out who he is

I thought he would be guessed right away.
I didn't know he was gay, until about a
year ago, I suspected for years, but didn't
know.

It is somehow reassuring that a good looking kid grew up not heterosexual.
Thinking of all the thousands of gay boys who have fallen for all the thousands of good looking boys, 90% of whom are str8, there is a glimmer of hope (well, 10%!) that the boy they are infatuated with actually might be available.
So, if you are a teenager, and in class and looking at the gorgeous biy who is the boy of your dreams, well it is possible he is gay too.

Alot of people grow up "not heterosexual".......
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

So it seems 
The point is that so many of us grow up hankering after "the gorgeous boy who sat at the desk in front of me". It's nice to think, just for a moment, "You know, he could well be gay".
Shame is I never sat behind any gorgeous boys. I always had the ones with the fat ears, or the odd necks.

You know something...
I sat behind them all..... from the 5th grade onward and I had my pick of the litter.... always.... whenever, whoever, however as often as I wanted.
It is all in having the nerve to reach for that golden ring.
And I hold to the notion that at the early years of sexual awakening for ALL boys that the goal is sex..... sex, long hard deep and repetedly...not relationships..... never.....
As time goes by, relationships can develop.... but at the first of it..... Never
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Oh and one more thing...... It never at all mattered if they were gay.....
Most weren't.... It was about the sex..... Everytime......

I wish I'd been brave enough.

It may be true for many. Perhaps even for most. But certainly not for all.
The relationship that I was in throughout puberty was - on my side - fully committed, exclusive, and loving.
Unfortunately, the rather older male who was the other party was manipulative, was simultaneously 'grooming' a number of "young friends", purely interested in sex with boys at a particular stage of physical development, and highly exploitative. That is why I have recently recognised the "relationship" as fundamentally abusive (see my earliest posts to this forum ...).
But that in no way detracts from the fact that my own interest at that age was in a relationship - though I happily admit to a certain amount of fairly casual sex with assorted schoolmates (mainly straight ones) in my mid-to-late teens, at times I was *not* in a relationship.

I never had eitehr sex or a relationship. I had ambitions for both, and not with the same boy
I suspect it is likely that when boys are the same age it is more likely to be sex, and with different ages it gets far more complex.
For example I was interested in sex with people my own age. Oddly I was interested in emotional stuff with the younger objects of my desire.

A relationship takes 2 for it to work.
Your post just reinforces my point that young people think sex.... not love.
You may have been in love with the notion of a relationship...... even the illusion of a relationship....
But I still hold to my position that there is only sex at that age.

Getting a bit off-topic, perhaps. But I think that this is an important issue.
I was NOT in love with "the notion of a relationship". I wasn't even in love with the "illusion of a relationship".
I was in love with one particular older male (who I've previously referred to as W.) ... in love with the way he made me laugh, in love with the way our conversations varied from Beethoven to bad puns and back again within the space of a breath, in love with the way he slept curled on his side, in love with the way we finished each others sentences and thoughts, .... I was in love with W. like this at 12, and 13, and 14, and 15. And for over three years the relationship appeared to be reciprocal. Had it not been, there could have been no abuse ... for I would not have wished to have sex with someone on whom I had an unreciprocated crush.
You may not have encountered love in your early teens. But I can categorically assure you that it does exist.

If it was "love" as you say....
Then also as you say... He was grooming other boys at the same time...
It was one sided at best...
Love is a very etherical thing... even the more so to a youth... It can go equally to a cat or a dog just as fluidly as to a person...
If there was as you say... an age difference... then I think it only logical to place all his conquests in the same basket...
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...
