That's how they are nowadays.So why do you have to point out that you are gay?
You could anwser OP's question without going into details, srsly.
OT: I'm not quite sure. I've only had one girlfriend, but she still occasionally pops up in my mind. So I'm not quite sure how to get over someone. Although, I did look at her facebook pics and stuff again awhile ago and noticed that she's not nearly as attractive as what I had thought she was while we were dating. So maybe that might help. lol
