George Michael’s Family Is Kicking out His Partner

0

Fadi Fawaz, the partner of late pop icon George Michael, is apparently being evicted from the couple’s home.

The 43-year-old photographer has been living in his late partner’s property in Regent’s Park, London but George Michael’s family has asked him to vacate the premises so that they can sell the property.

A source told The Sun on Sunday: “Fadi will be so sad as he loves the Regent’s Park house and it holds so many fond memories spent there with George.

“But although the news is devastating he won’t want to make any issue of it with George’s family if that’s what they decide to do.”

Fadi has previously said in a statement that he feels the “world turned against” him after George passed away.

“Since George died I have read and seen some bad things written about me that I did not understand. Often I did not even recognise myself or the life we had together. Since my partner died (who I loved very much and always will) the world turned against me just for finding him dead in bed. I became a monster overnight, with lots of made up stories.

“I always refuse to go into the details of our life but I can tell you that many of the things being said are simply made up lies and very far from the truth. We had a good life together and were companions in the good and the not so good times.

“Some guy claiming to be George’s cousin, and who knows nothing about our life together, is coming out with the craziest rubbish. Although it is simply crazy stuff it makes me embarrassed and sad that this is still happening, and that some people even seem to take it seriously.”

He added: “Now I just want to be left alone to get on with my life and to think about the person I have lost. I want to grieve, and I want other people to show respect for the loss of the man who brought such wonderful music to all.

“I want to be left alone. This sad, sad story is coming to its end and I just have to move on. With thanks and respect. Fadi.”

I’m Straight but Want to Service a Man

31

As a straight man should I be worried about suppressing my urge to experiment?

Dear Max,

I am a 30 year old male who has always considered myself to be straight.

I have never been “attracted” to a man but about five years ago I became conscious of being turned-on by the idea of servicing a guy.

And I am very attracted to women and hope to get married to one someday and have no intention of ever having a relationship with a man. Furthermore, I couldn’t deal with anyone I know finding out I have this fantasy.

Still, I can’t stop thinking about it. I’d say for every three sexual thoughts I have about women, I have one about servicing a guy.

My question is, which head should I listen too? If I try to ignore this am I likely to develop some kind of mental issue?

Or should I do it once, just to have a gay experience, and try to “get it out of my system”?

Dear Curious in Minnesota,

Let me first start out with saying that you are definitely not alone in this. Many guys – and girls too for that matter – will try almost anything at least once. That does not make them bad people.

It is totally natural.

As with so many other things in life, if you are uncertain if you like something or not, you just have to take a leap of faith and try it out.

Some foods may look good and tasty. Then when you try it, you may be pleasantly surprised or very disappointed.

You only live once and if you have this on your mind and cannot live without the answer, then go for it. Having sex with a guy doesn’t define you and make you any more – or less – gay than you already are.

Hopefully one day we can put all these labels on the shelf and look at them as a curiosity of the past.

But until then, I do believe you will regret not having tried it out. It’s definitely much better to do it now that you are free and single than to have this urge haunting you when you are in a serious relationship.

Whatever you decide to do… please play safe.

Good luck!

Five Big Dating Don’ts

1

Congratulations, you have a hot date. Now how do you keep him? Well, make sure to stay away from these 5 big dating don’ts.

Experts say that people in general are more afraid of public speaking than they are of anything else, and when it comes to nerve-wrecking situations, first dates are right up there too.

But with a little bit of preparation you can prevent your date from turning into a nightmare, so here are a few pointers to help you on your way.

Related: How to Ask Him to Be Your Boyfriend

Don’t freak out

He’s going out with you because he’s interested in you so don’t be nervous, and trust that you are good enough.

It’s ok to think about some conversation starters before your date begins but during the date you should focus on what he’s saying rather than thinking of what you are going to say next.

That way the conversation will flow more smoothly, your date will be more fun and chances are he will like you even better.

Don’t be a bitch

We all know that bitching can be a lot of fun but it’s rarely very attractive. Don’t be fact-checking all your date’s stories, or argue over every little thing he says.

That doesn’t mean you have to agree on everything either, of course. Just don’t take everything too seriously until you know him better.

And whatever you do, don’t give him advice on his personality or appearance. Save that for when you bitch about your date to your friends afterwards.

Don’t suck up

Do not give too many compliments in the beginning and make sure the ones you give are sincere. It could easily seem like you’re sucking up to him, or even worse, mocking him.

Avoid giving compliments that go on appearance since they could so easily go wrong. Give compliments on his personality instead.

Don’t step in it

There are few dating no-no’s that everyone should know that you never talk about on a date.

One is to never talk about your ex. The last thing your date wants is to be compared to your prior boyfriends (even though you’re of course doing this in your head.)

Another is to never talk about other people your dating, or recent dates you have been on with other guys.

And leave out the subject of your date’s hunky friend too. No reason to spark jealousy before your relationship has even started.

Don’t chicken out

Having escape routes planned up front is for cowards. Go into the date with an open mind or don’t go at all.

Even the biggest idiot understands that if you get an “important” call during the date, or if you “happen” to stumble upon a group of friends, it’s all bull.

Be honest, excuse yourself and leave. It’s uncomfortable right there and then but it will make you feel so much better in the end.

I Can’t Seem to Hang on to a Boyfriend

2

In the gay community it’s often a lot easier to find guys to hook up with than it is to find love

Dear Max,

I am 18 and I have had a lot of boyfriends in the past.

There are so many hot guys out there and I don’t have any problem finding guys to hook up with.

The problem is that I can’t seem to hang on to them long enough to actually love them deeply.

Is it easier to find boyfriends when you get older or should I keep looking until I find Mr. Right?

Dear Justin,

You have to remember that you are still very young and you really need to stop worrying so much. After all, you have just started on your dating life and you have so much to look forward to.

And yes, even though there are never any guarantees it does usually get better as you get older.

When people are very young, they are generally more focused on experiencing everything in life since it’s all so new and exciting. Also, a lot of people tend to set their expectations about other people a bit high.

As people get older and achieve some of their goals, they also tend to become more relaxed and more open about the people they date. Which also makes it easier to find love.

It’s great to find someone you can share your life experiences with, so you should definitely keep looking for that special one. Sooner or later I’m sure you’ll find him.

Meanwhile, set some goals in your life. Then stay focused and work hard to try to achieve at least some of them. It’s weird but Mr. Right tend to show up whenever you’re not expecting him to.

So relax and experience life to the fullest.

Good luck!

New in Town and Feeling Lonely

1

What do you do when you’re new in town and only have friends online?

Dear Max,
I just moved to a new city and I have no friends.

I am 21 and I have been meeting people through the internet.

Is that okay or am I sick?

–“X”

Dear “X”,
You are not sick… you are lonely and it is very normal when you move to a new city. It is okay to want to meet people and the internet is a great place to do so.

However, as you do when meeting people anywhere, exercise caution and common sense.

Any suitor must earn your trust gradually, through consistently honorable, forthright behavior. Your job is to take all the time you need to test for a trustworthy person, and pay careful attention along the way.

Take a relatively conservative approach to trusting anyone you meet online. If you think someone is lying, it is likely that they are, so act accordingly. Move on to someone you can eventually trust.

Conduct yourself and your romances in a responsible manner. Don’t fall in love at the click of a mouse. Don’t become prematurely intimate with someone, even if that intimacy only occurs online.

When meeting someone for the first time, meet in a public place. Start slow. Watch out for someone who seems too good to be true.

Good luck!
