Hi Braden, and welcome!
I'm sure that you're going to find some good friends here!

Hi Braden, and welcome! And Jay's right - he's the only sane one here. (I don't know how he's lasted so long!) So if you're willing to let your own sanity slip a bit, you can have a fun time here.
By the way, I notice you're email address is iomfats.org. Did you pay Timmy your fifty dollar deposit yet? ;-D

Well, Braden wanted to be anonymous and wholly separated form any trackable stuff, so I offered. I've been hoping he'd drop by for a while. I can't do it for everyone, though.

Advice on meeting people is different depending on your age. It also depends on the area you live in and the acceptance of or hostility towards gay people there.
I know we know each other, but the others here do not. And I know I've advised you by email before. Let them know a little more about your circumstances, though be sure not to reveal anything that you do not wish to reveal about whereabouts.

Hullo.....
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...

Hay,
Good to "meet" you, here is hoping that you have as much fun here as I do. The people are great.
So hi and hope to "see" you more often.

"though be sure not to reveal anything that you do not wish to reveal about whereabouts."
That is always excellent advice. Most especially if you are young. You need to talk to people for a long time to be sure of their agenda. Unfortunately there are people who pretend friendship but are just waiting to take advantage. I haven't been on this forum very long myself, but I haven't seen anything but genuine people here with empathy and sound advice. Feel free to express yourself here but just use your common sense.
Loneliness is depressing. You have friends here, virtual friends, that can ease the heartache somewhat while you develop some real, live friendships.

We have, in the past, had people here with odd, even unpleasant, agendas. Doubtless we will do again. Always remember that, online, we present ourselves as we wish to be seen. Reality is often different. I, of course, am far more handsome in person than I am online.
But, seriously, it is only in a meeting that we discover who our online friend is. So never reveal contact details unless you do want to be contacted, and are prepared to handle the friend being unusual in reality. Having said that, most people truly will be as they appear.

I, for one, am just as handsome as my avatar. Only $5,000 more and I can afford the finger removal operation!  )

Sounds like good advice. And I know it's scary. I hated having to make new friends and my folks moved a lot. If you're shy, like I was, you just put yourself out where the other young people are. There may be those, less shy, who will approach you. Don't try to be impressive or anything, just be yourself. They will either like you for who you are or they wont. You can't please everyone and if you are rebuffed, don't give up. You have a best friend out there waiting to meet you. He's probably tired of waiting so darn long!

Welcome Whitewaterkid. Hope you enjoy it here. And I hope you enjoy having a large family. That's what this place feels like to me anyway. One large wonderful family. Growing larger by the day, too, it seems.
