Where do I even start...

Well As some of you know, I'm gay, and rather open about it.
Now, when my ex and I broke up over 6 months ago...I was deeply hurt about it...I still am, however there is this amazing guy. I met him a while back but was always too shy to actually talk with him, and thanks to a good friend of mine, he gave me a little push to talk with him. Turned out he was rather shy as well, which was comforting to know.
About a couple of weeks ago...my father kicked me out of the house because of an argument, it was snowing/raining pretty bad and I was outside for maybe an hour. I had no one else to turn to, so I called him only seeking advice; Instead he came to pick me up...and I stayed at his house, we snuggled and such, and for once I actually felt something I haven't felt since the beginning of my old relationship, which lasted 11 months. We continued to talk on and off, and I learned that... he likes someone in Madison, not too far away from where we live, I was hurt by this a lot...he tends to be a bit oblivious when it comes to reading other peoples emotions. So I couldn't say anything about it...I also learned that he was going into the National Guard on the 5th of January. I was completely against this I hate the military, I hate how it works...he just told me he wanted to do something big in his life. I told him I'll support him on his choice no matter what.
*Sighs* He spent the night at my house on the 2nd of January...and he held me tight...and never let go, even when I woke up he was holding onto me.
I..made the mistake of saying that I love him...because he just smiled at me and kissed my forehead. However, I texted him all night on the 4th because I knew it'd be a while since I see him again. I said "Ben, please take care of your self...I'll be waiting for you when you come back...and I love you." his reply was "Same to you..."

What does this mean...just...take care? Or...I love you too?

My question is...should I actually wait...I mean if he is pursuing someone else...should I go after something that is seemingly impossible? And boot camp he said, would be a minimum of nine weeks, and a maximum of six months...My heart is screaming for me to wait...but is it even going to be worth it...?

I apologize for stretching this out so long....and thank you for reading...

If you feel so strongly toward him then my suggestion is wait,cuz, lets say he comes back and your there,that should get the message across I would think.If you don't and you later find out that when he came back and you weren't there waiting for him he was heartbroken, you'll regret it.That and if he's as shy as you say he is then he probably said "same to you" cuz he couldn't quite get the courage up to say I love you back.I could be wrong but with how you described things I don't think so.Anyway,I hope I helped you decide what to do angel.

I agree with Jak, if you feel strongly for him just give it a wait and see what happens from there. If hes going to Coast Gaurd it shouldn't take long for him to come back, depending on what hes going for it can take a long time but it'll be worth the wait if things do pan out nicely for both of you.

And a fair warning for you. I know this sounds really bad but (From personal experiece of once being a military brat) I know that the U.S can and usually will knock you down a few ranks/ cut off salary/ kick you out/ treat you like s**t. If they found out your friend is gay or has gay reletaions but they usually dont do that unless you try to marry someone of the same sex. But just in case if you do stay in contact with him try to keep things..well as discreet as possible.

I bid you Good Luck

Before you try to start up your relationship again you need to consider that dating a service man is escencially going back in the closet. Not just to the military personal but the people who know the military personel. I've read articles about closeted men being discharged because men answered their home phones or someone saw them hold hands with their partners. My brother's friend was discharged because someone he told someone he was dating a guy because he thought they wouldn't tell his supervisor. Sadly, they did tell.

He's oviously important to you. If you know you can handle it and he's not in a relationship, then trying again might be okay. But I'm guessing there's a reason you're not together.

But don't get obsessed with a text message. Your head will go 'splodey.

See that's why I like him so much, he is one of those guys, who you have to actually get to know, to find out he is gay. He looks straight xD [Which I find VERY attractive.] and he is out to his family and friend, but I do understand what you mean...*Sighs* Neh.

I understand. This is your call, I'm just trying to prevent you from acting without considering everything. Rekindled relationships can get mega messy. =)
