He Came Out Gay, Now How Do You Make Him Love You?

There could be many reasons why he chooses not to be with you, but does it really matter?

Dear Max,

I was in a relationship with this guy for 2 1/2 years. He was married at the time we first met.

Everything was great at the beginning. I was living in a different town and we used to meet every other weekend for occasional getaways.

He asked me to move to his town and come live with his family. I did and stayed in a guest house on his property.

His marriage was going downhill and the only reason that he was still with his wife was because they have a teenage son.

About 2 months later, we decided to move and get our own place. He even took action and went through the process of divorcing his wife.

As soon as he moved out and got his own place, it seemed like he felt free to do whatever he wanted, like cheat on me behind my back and have encounters with other men.

I was naive at the time because I loved him so much and he said he loved me too. He was my first real love.

A year later, I found out that he was diagnosed HIV positive as a result of unprotected sex with another man. When he told me, it was the worst day of my life.

From that day, I made a vow to be with him, care for him and always love him. He didn’t want that. It seemed like he was afraid of commitment.

About 6 months later, he asked me to move out because he “needed space” to think about our relationship. I questioned him at first, then granted his request.

6 months passed and I called him to see if I could move back with him. He told me that he met someone else and that we were through.

He would not tell me why he did this to me. I am so confused and angry at the same time. Why would he do this to me?

I was so faithful to him and to have him do this to me?

I still love him so much. I think about him every day. He won’t return my phone calls anymore. He wants nothing to do with me. Why???

Like I said, he was my first real love and I thought that we would be together forever.

Please help me. I don’t want to be without him.

Dear Danny,

Loving someone is very hard, specially loving the wrong person.

I could give you many reasons why he could be doing what he is doing, but does it really matter?

The truth is that you were not the right person for him. No matter how perfect you are, if it’s not meant to be, it’s not meant to be.

We all have gone through that. Loving the wrong person and waiting for that person to see how wonderful we are. They never do and they usually end up with someone else.

I know it is very hard, but you will survive. What you need to do is to move on with your life.

You will cry, you will feel you can never love again. But the reality is that you will love again. And the best part is that when the right guy comes along, everything will click.

Life is full of experiences – some good ones and some bad ones. Love is the best feeling any human can experience.

Some people have never or will never experience love, and you are lucky you have and you will again. So don’t give up on love.

Good luck!

Dating Two Guys at Once

Dating two guys can be fun but when is it time to get serious?

Dear Max,
I am dating two guys right now. At first, I thought it was fun, but now it is getting to be too much.

Neither of them know about the other, but we’re kind of moving in the same circles so I’m afraid that they eventually will find out.

It has come to the point where I feel like I’m lying all the time, and I always have to be careful about how I plan my days and what I say.

What should I do?

–Justin

Dear Justin,
there is nothing wrong with having fun and playing the dating game for a while. After all, how else are you going to find out who’s out there for you?

However, once there are real feelings entering the game it’s time to get serious. Just decide which one you really want to date and keep with your choice.

I know it is hard, but if you continue with dating two guys at once, at some point they are going to find out and then you will loose them both. And it obviously bothers you, so why would you want to keep unnecessary stress in your life?

Find out which one you love more and which one you want to keep as soon as possible. The other one will survive. Just be honest with yourself and with them.

Good luck!

PS! Some people do manage to get the throuple thing working. A throuple is 3 people in a relationship together, like these guys.

So if you think that could work for all of you, go for it!

Ricky Martin: “Super Happy Ever Since I Came Out as Gay”

Ricky Martin: “Super Happy Ever Since I Came Out as Gay”

Pop super star Ricky Martin says he was miserable while living in the closet and that coming out as a gay man has made him super happy.

While his friends and family already knew about his sexuality, Ricky didn’t oficially come out until he published his memoir “Me: Ricky Martin” in 2011.

“I got to the place I was fighting as I was writing my book between saying, ‘Am I gay? Am I bisexual? Am I gay? Am I bisexual?,’” he said.

“And either is okay, just go within and do not lie to yourself. And then I said, ‘Rick, you are a very fortunate homosexual man. You are gay.’ And I wrote it and I pressed send, and then I cried like crazy. And I’ve been super happy ever since.”

Ricky also brought up his life-long admiration for fellow gay super star Elton John.

“I just remember growing up and looking at Elton and saying like, ‘I love his music. I like his colors. I love his wigs. I love it. Do I want to be him or do I like him? I’m so confused,’” he said.

“At the end of the day, I remember just warm, loving, comforting … just emotions every time I saw him. Let’s give him a lot of credit for that.”

The Latin singer has strong opinions about the injustices against people of color in our society. He believes the LGBTQ+ community and Black Lives Matter have common interests.

“I think we have to join forces,” he said.

“At this point it’s all about listening. It’s about learning, it’s about being respectful, and it’s about understanding that at this point it’s not about us.

“At this point it’s about giving the platform to those incredible voices that has helped us and has taught us about the injustices that, in this case the LGBTQ+ community goes through.”

Ricky Martin and thousands of other protesters succeded in making homophobic governor Ricardo Rosselló resign

Last summer, Ricky and thousands of other protesters rallying in the streets of San Juan succeded in making homophobic governor Ricardo Rosselló resign.

The governor was accused of mishandling Hurricane Maria funds and media leaked a large number of homophobic messages from a private group chat between Rosselló and 11 other.

The leaked messages triggered an outrage among Puerto Rico’s citizens and thousands of people protested outside the governor’s mansion in San Juan.

Ricky posted several messages on Instagram documenting the event.

“We’re tired of the cynicism,” he said in a video. “They put down women. They put down the LGBT community, people with disabilities. Corruption, it is insane.”

“We are tired. We can’t take it anymore. I do live in America, but I have to come to Puerto Rico to let the world know that we will make a change. That Puerto Ricans get together and if we do it orderly, we can make it happen. And that’s why we’re here today. He’s [Rosselló] going to listen to us.

“We just can’t take it anymore. Puerto Rico has suffered enough. It’s pretty much barbaric what he’s doing. We’re tired and we’re angry.”

Rosselló announced his resignation on July 25th.

Ricky Martin Posts Pictures from Devastated Puerto Rico

Ricky lives in LA with his husband Jwan Yosef and his two sons Matteo and Valentino.

In january 2018, Ricky and Jwan showed off their beautiful home in an Architectural Digest cover story

“We were considering living in London or New York City, but then we decided to rent in Los Angeles for a month, to get a feel for the vibe,” Jwan told the magazine. “L.A. totally caught us off guard—we loved it. By the end of the month, we knew we wanted to be here.”

After a three-day house-hunting expedition, Ricky and Jwan settled on a serene, modernist residence. At the core of the 11,000-square-foot dwelling was a 3,000-square-foot home designed by acclaimed midcentury architect Gregory Ain for psychiatrist Fred Feldman and his wife, Elaine, in 1953.

“Even though the house had been greatly expanded over the years, we still wanted to respect its original vision—the clean lines, the openness, and the sense of calm,” says Ricky, who hired celebrity designer Nate Berkus for the interior design work.

About Ricky Martin

Ricky Martin was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico on 12/24/1971. He was married to Jwan Yosef, a Syrian-born Swedish painter and artist.

What is he famous for?

Ricky Martin (Enrique Martín Morales) is an author, singer and dancer. He began his career at age 12 with the all-boy pop group Menudo.

Ricky released several albums in Spanish before his career really took off in 1999 when he performed “The Cup of Life” at the Grammy Awards show.

That performance, and the following hit “Livin’ la Vida Loca”, gave Ricky enormous success worldwide and began the Latin pop explosion of 1999.

This paved the way for other Spanish-speaking artists to move into the English-speaking market..

Is Ricky Martin gay?

Yes, Ricky Martin came out as gay in March, 2010. He came out of the closet in a post on his official website.

In a lengthy note to his fans, Ricky wrote that the process of writing his memoirs got him “very close to my truth” and that hiding his sexuality would “indirectly diminish the glow that my kids were born with,” referring to his twin sons, who were born in 2008.

“These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn’t even know existed,” he writes about why he didn’t reveal his sexuality earlier.

Anderson Cooper Becomes a Dad

Anderson Cooper announced the birth of his son Wyatt Morgan Cooper on CNN

“As a gay kid, I never thought it would be possible to have a child,” he told viewers.

Anderson shared pictures of his newborn, expressed gratitude for his surrogate, and paid tribute to his late family members.

“I do wish my mom and dad and my brother, Carter were alive to meet Wyatt,” he said, “but I like to believe they can see him. I imagine them all together, arms around each other, smiling and laughing and watching, looking down on us. Happy to know that their love is alive in me and in Wyatt…and that our family continues. New life and new love.”

Wyatt Morgan Cooper was born via a surrogate mother on 27 April.

“It is an extraordinary blessing – what she, and all surrogates give to families who can’t have children.

“My surrogate has a beautiful family of her own, an amazingly supportive husband, and kids, and I am incredibly thankful for all the support they have given Wyatt and me. My family is blessed to have this family in our lives.”

Anderson believes it is important to be able to look forward during these difficult times.

“It has been a difficult time in all of our lives, and there are certainly many hard days ahead,” Anderson said.

“It is, I think, especially important in these times of trouble to try to hold on to moments of joy and moments of happiness. Even as we mourn the loss of loved ones, we are also blessed with new life and new love.”

I want to share with you some joyful news. On Monday, I became a father. This is Wyatt Cooper. He is three days old. He is named after my father, who died when I was ten. I hope I can be as good a dad as he was. My son's middle name is Morgan. It's a family name on my mom's side. I know my mom and dad liked the name morgan because I recently found a list they made 52 years ago when they were trying to think of names for me. Wyatt Morgan Cooper. My son. He was 7.2 lbs at birth, and he is sweet, and soft, and healthy and I am beyond happy. As a gay kid, I never thought it would be possible to have a child, and I’m grateful for all those who have paved the way, and for the doctors and nurses and everyone involved in my son's birth. Most of all, I am grateful to a remarkable surrogate who carried Wyatt, and watched over him lovingly, and tenderly, and gave birth to him. It is an extraordinary blessing – what she, and all surrogates give to families who cant have children. My surrogate has a beautiful family of her own, a wonderfully supportive husband, and kids, and I am incredibly thankful for all the support they have given Wyatt and me. My family is blessed to have this family in our lives I do wish my mom and dad and my brother, Carter, were alive to meet Wyatt, but I like to believe they can see him. I imagine them all together, arms around each other, smiling and laughing, happy to know that their love is alive in me and in Wyatt, and that our family continues.

7 Signs That He Really Likes You

7 Signs That He Really Likes You

Finding the right guy can be hard enough but the real challenge is to figure out if he really likes you.

I’m sure it’s hard enough finding a partner in the “straight world” but when you add the limited dating pool we have to deal with the challenge just seems overwhelming.

First you have to figure out if the guy you’re crushing on is gay or not, then you have to go through all that “normal” guesswork of whether or not he is liking you back.

Of course it’s really all about the age old question: He likes me, he likes me not. So how do you tell if a gay guy likes you?

Related: Make Him Fall for You

Here are a few signs that may let you know that he’s into you:

He initiates contact with you

The first and most basic sign that he’s into you is if he comes up to you at a party or at any other event and starts talking to you. Of course this doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s interested in you romantically but it’s definitely a start.

If you feel like he’s going out of his way to run into you, or if he seems to find any excuse to talk to you, there is a very good change he wants something more from you than just a conversation.

He listens to you

If a guy asks you a lot of questions about yourself and shows a genuine interest in who you are, he is investigating you. This sounds really bad but we all do it. It’s a way to find out if you are a match, and sometime also to protect ourselves.

Some people are better at remembering things than others, but when we like someone we seem to really pay attention. So if your love interest remembers every part of your last conversation then there is a pretty good chance that he likes you.

He compliments you

We all like to think of ourselves as quite sophisticated people, but many times if someone we like throws a compliment at us we suddenly turn into giggly little school girls.

If a guy is into you, he’ll pay attention to your appearance and will give you compliments about it. He will make an effort to learn about your interests and to find out what makes you special.

He tries to impress you

If a guy likes you, he will probably act differently whenever he’s around you. It may not be that easy for you to spot if you don’t know the guy, but it is very obvious to his friends and they will usually be happy to let you know. It’s weird but we all seem to do this.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be about big stuff. It could just be about small achievements that he’s proud of and doesn’t usually talk about. It’s just stuff he thinks could make you more interested in him.

He touches you

Humans are social beings and it’s printed in our DNA that we like to touch and be touched. When we look for a partner our basic instincts seem to float to the surface and our senses go into full alert.

So if he tends to lean in when you talk to each other, or grab you when he laugh of your jokes, there is a pretty good chance that he likes you.

He opens up to you

It’s normal to be protective of your personal life, especially in front of strangers. In our community it’s not uncommon to be totally open about every little detail about our sexual life, while we keep much of our personal feelings private.

So when a guy dares to open up to you about who he really is, that’s not only brave but also very special.

He includes you in his plans

This is really a whole new step in your whole courtship/relationship. If the guy you are “working on” starts including you in his future plans, he is either really into you or you have totally fallen into his friend zone.

Talk about being introduced to his family is generally a good thing, unless it happens before you have had sex, a kiss or at least a snuggle. If it happens after one of those things, it generally says that he’s interested in you. If it happens before you have been intimate, you are better off moving on as quickly as you can. If not, you are in for a big heartache.
