Something great happened and I just had to share it, so I figured why not gaybros.

Last night some friends and I went to this club in town, because they were having a major event. When I go out it's usually hit or miss, because I can be very self-conscious and I have low self-esteem in regards to my looks. On top of that I've only been "out" for about a year. So I'm at this club and this guy walks by and smiles. I figured I was seeing things as a result of alcohol, but then one of my straight bros pulls me over and says, "Dude, that dude was definitely checking you out! Go talk to him." I tell him no it's not possible and how mistaken he must be. My friend on the other hand insists that he thinks the guy is interested in me. I ask my straight bro if he would ask the guy for me to which he responds "Hell no. Man up and go get that!" After about 30 seconds I decide to go for it. I walk up to him nervous as shit and tell him "My friend over there was curious about your orientation." (I know still a little bit of bitch move but I'll take victories where I can.) He tells me that he's gay and I tell him so am I and that my friend is straight and I was the one who was actually curious. He thought it was cute and I asked him to dance. He said, "Of course!" and I couldn't believe it. I went to stranger at non gay club and was successful!

So we end up dancing, which leads to loss of shirts and very heavy making out. All the while we were sporadically having a conversation and getting to know each other.

We end up hanging out until 6AM at his friend's place. When we walked back to my car he held my hand. We made out a lot but he decided he didn't want to have sex because he was super tired and wanted an excuse to see me again, but he did give me a little strip tease before going into his house (he has a great ass). So I'm now anxiously awaiting the phone call he swore that he would give me, because he didn't want to wait on me to call. So I'm excited about the possibility of an actual date tonight, even though a large part of me will not allow myself to enjoy it, out of fear that he was just really drunk and saying things. Even if this doesn't pan out I'm glad that I at least had the balls to talk to someone and make a connection, even if it was one night.

TL;DR: Went out to a club and initiated with a guy. Turns out he was gay and we had a major connection. Now waiting for him to call with date plans
