My Friend Is Stealing My Man

Should I let it go and just tolerate that he is stealing my man?

Dear Max,
I met this guy online through a friend and we talked all the time, on the phone and online.

Turns out he was from my area doing time in North Dakota for the military. I really liked the guy and after a while he got discharged from the military and returned home.

I come to find out that he and my best friend have been talking and all. I have no problem with that but my friend has a habit of stealing men from people.

Ever since he moved back, he and my friend have both been talking a lot more, seeing each other and who knows what else. Should I talk it over with them or just let it go, even if it means that my friend is stealing my man?

Thanks,

-Lance

Dear Lance,
If you are serious about this guy, you need to talk to him and talk to your friend. Make sure that you find out exactly what is going on between those two, or you may end up losing both a potential partner and your best friend.

It is obviously bothering you so try to clear the air. If it turns out that your friend and the military guy is actually having a relationship, you need to figure out if the guy is worth risking your relationship with your best friend over.

On the other hand, if it turns out that your friend knew that you like this guy, and he knew that you had something going on with him, then you have to consider if he really is your friend after all. Maybe it’s time to look for a better friend?

Good Luck!

Is Chris Evans Gay?

13

Chris Evans has been voguing and done ‘Single Ladies’ on The Ellen Show. But is Chris Evans gay? Well, this is our take on the issue.

Seeing super sexy Chris Evans shirtless is a sight for straight women, gay men – and probably quite a few others – alike.

The actor has starred in blockbuster movies like Captain America, The Avengers and the Fantastic Four.

So obviously a lot of people are having questions about the sexuality of this perfect speciment of a man.

So, is Chris Evans gay, or at least bi?

Sorry, guys. Unfortunately, Chris Evans is probably not gay. He seems like the kind of hottie that flirts with everyone, male or female, and doesn’t really care what anybody thinks.

And the fact that he’s so gay friendly is no coincidence, because he has confirmed that his brother Scott Evans is gay:

“Yes, I do have a gay brother. I’m down with the gays. Mostly I’m hanging out with him and his gay buddies, who are f*cking hilarious. They’re the funniest people I know. They’ve invited me out to gay bars before, and I said, ‘Look, guys, I’ve got to draw the line there.’ That’s where a photo will get taken, it will run in magazines, and before you know it, I’ll be living down the gay rumor for the rest of my life. [My brother looks like me], but he’s about an inch taller and about four shades tanner than I am. He’s a very fit young man. Believe me, he does quite well for himself.”

In a interview with The FIX, Chris Evans discussed how having a gay brother and sisters helped him “cultivate compassion and understanding” for people with identities that differ from his own.

“I’ve never felt any sort of backlash or friction as a result of the stance I’ve taken in my career in support of [my brother] or any other human rights… hopefully, it stays that way going forward,” said Evans.

“It’s important to understand, whether it’s growing up with women, whether it’s growing up with other ethnic groups, it’s important to experience anything different from what you know,” he continued, “to encourage and cultivate compassion and understanding.”

“Growing up with women helped me, but growing up in the theater helped me, growing up in a progressive community helped me. I think it’s really important to put faces to the situations that we’re navigating as a society.”

Chris Evans went on The Ellen Show to promote his new film, Captain America: Civil War, and also managed to raise funds for charity by showing off his hot bod.

And he’s been more than happy to tease his audience with his close to perfect body at several occasions.

Just take a look at this hot video compilation:

But does that make Chris Evans gay?

I would love to be wrong on this one, but I really don’t think so…

NKOTB’s Jonathan Knight Engaged to Boyfriend

0

New Kids on the Block member Jonathan Knight has proposed to his longtime boyfriend, personal trainer Harley Rodriguez.

Knight popped the question when the couple was vacationing in Africa.

“We were in Africa, our parents were there — our moms were there — and I just figured this was the time to pop the question and make it official,” Knight revelaed on Sirius Radio’s The Jenny McCarthy Show.

“We were on the Zambezi River—it’s right above Victoria Falls. We took a nighttime raft dinner, just the four of us out on the river, there was like a hippopotamus in the background. It was a super moon. It was just absolutely beautiful, it was so romantic.”

The couple met back in 2008, when NKOTB released their comeback album The Block.

“We were rehearsing the day I met him. He’s a trainer at Barry’s Bootcamp, so I would be with the band all day, then the only time I got to see him was to go take his class,” Knight told ET. “I’d take his class then we’d go for dinner afterwards. He’s been around from the beginning and seen [NKOTB’s comeback] morph into what it is today.”

Jonathan Knight said his boyfriend had no clue that a proposal was coming, even though they both have considered their relationship similar to marriage, and they have taken each other’s names on social media.

The couple was ecstatic after last year’s monumental Supreme Court ruling, which legalized gay marriage nationwide.

“Me and Harley called each other right after it happened and were crying our eyes out on the phone,” says Knight.

“It’s just something that’s been long overdue and it was really aggravating to see other countries have it legal,” he added. “In Massachusetts it’s been legal [since 2004], so I always felt if my state can do it why are other states not doing it? To have it done nationally was awesome.”

In the interview with ET, Knight also said that he thinks the world has been moving forward on LGBT issues and that it has become easier to come out.

“If we were then where we are today, I would have been openly gay from day one with the New Kids and it wouldn’t have been an issue,” he said. “Back then there was such a stigma that I couldn’t even tell my best friend. These girls I went to prom with were really good friends and today most girls love gay guys and would be like, ‘Yeah! Let’s go to prom!’”

“Being able to be open back then, we would’ve just had a better time. I know I would have.”

How to Tell If He’s Gay

How to tell if a guy is gay? – Here are some signs that may show if he is playing for our team

What do you do if you meet this really hot dude and need to find out if he is gay so you can make a move on him? Well, you could just ask him of course, but life isn’t always that simple. He may be a friend you are afraid of losing, or you could just be afraid. Period. So here are some good – although admittedly stereotypical – advice on how to tell if a guy is gay.

His relationships

Has he had any previous relationships? With this we mean real, confirmable relationships and not some fuzzy stories about all the super-hot women he was sleeping with on his last trip to Cancun. Where he just happened to travel all alone without any friends to confirm his conquests…

Certainly he may just be a shy person having problems hooking up with the opposite sex. But chances are also that he is more interested in guys than in women and that he just haven’t dared to admit it to himself yet. You may just be the one he has been waiting for helping him getting out his shell/closet.

His wandering eyes

When you are hanging out with your friend, does he light up every time a pretty girl passes by? Single straight guys quickly loses interest in you if they see an opportunity for flirting with a woman.

And if his wandering eyes tend to follow other guys instead of women, then there is no doubt. Unfortunately for you though, that also probably means he’s not that into you

His compliments

Does your crush notice every time you have a new haircut or compliment you on those really cool new jeans you just bought? Either he is a flaming metrosexual or chances are that he is in fact gay. Straight men usually just aren’t that interested in your appearance and rarely notices those cute little outfits you are wearing.

And if he compliments your girlfriend on her new Prada-boots, move forward with confidence (right, Elle Woods?) There is no way a straight man knows his way around women’s shoe brands, maybe unless he’s just been doing inventory during a very expensive divorce settlement.

How to Tell If He's Gay

His idols

Many gay men adore people – and especially women – with strong and bigger-than-life personalities. People that dare to be different and who are not afraid of being judged by others are often admired.

So if your love interest suddenly bursts out with “No more wire hangers!” or starts humming “It’s raining men,” he may definitely be playing for our team. A lot of Madonna, Britney and Miley tunes on his iPod is not a bad indication either.

And that is how to tell if a guy is gay. Or, at least they can be some signs of being gay. But, of course, you may really never know unless you actually ask him.

A Relationship of Convenience

Is a relationship of convenience without love or respect really worth it?

Dear Max,
I am 25. I have been in a relationship with a man for 3 years and he is now 51. Our relationship is hard and very difficult.

We don’t communicate very well, sex is almost non-existent, and I feel too often as if I am a possession. He is not my sugar daddy, he has never paid a bill of mine. I am a full time student, I work full time and I am a member of the Nat’l guard.

I always hoped when I left my wife to pursue this relationship that his and mine would be similar to my wife’s and mine. Laughing, spending time together, long talks, similar interests, and two people working towards one goal.

But I was mistaken. We seem to only be roommates in a home owned by his ex-boyfriend who doesn’t want any of us to make any one aware that any of us are gay.

I don’t know what exactly I am asking, I just thought you would have some advice on the subject. I think I feel it’s a relationship of convenience right now not of love or respect.

Dear Confused,
it seems to me that you already know what to do. I don’t have anything against dating older people, but 30 years difference it is quite a big difference. Even though the age difference is not affecting you, seems to me that it could be a factor in your relationship.

You are right when you say it is a relationship of convenience. Relationships are supposed to be fun like you said. You are supposed to laugh together, have similar interests and work towards one goal. You know that and you know there is someone there waiting for you.

So do me a favor… stop wasting your time and wasting your boyfriend’s time and talk about your relationship with him. Tell him how you feel. Work something out with him to either fix it or break up and remain friends.

Like I always tell people, you only live once. Why not be happy?
