So, I (27M) recently met this incredibly handsome guy on Grindr (22M). We hooked up, and afterward, he opened up to me a bit. He shared that he sometimes does escort work to make ends meet and that he’s bisexual. None of this bothers me - I care more about whether someone is kind toward others and genuine.

I ended up making him breakfast and dinner one day, and he started telling me more about his life. He shared that his parents abandoned him, and he was raised by his grandma in a small village close to where I live. His story hit me hard because I experienced many struggles as well, but I’ve been lucky enough to create stability and a safe space for myself. It feels like he’s still lost, stuck in an environment that doesn’t support him, and he’s trying to find a way out.

He told me a few times that he feels drawn to spending time with me and that he needs someone like me in his life. And here’s the thing - I live alone, have a steady income, and am in a calm phase in my life. I’m actually considering helping him find a stable job and maybe guiding him onto a path that might give him more options, including offering him a temporary place to stay. I have zero expectations in return. I’ve never done something like this for anyone, and it’s kind of freaking me out how strongly I feel about it. I keep questioning if I’m just having some “hero syndrome” moment and should rather seek therapy. lol

We’ve met three times already over the past few days and as soon as he left today, I broke down in tears thinking about how many people are stuck in situations they didn’t choose and don’t really deserve. I know we all have to find our way eventually, but it’s heartbreaking seeing someone live through it right in front of me.

Should I give it some time and try to know him better before taking any steps further or return to my ordinary life and eventually seek therapy lol?
