My parents shamed me for going to a gay event. They took me to a cemetery so I could pick out a grave . They said I would be dead from AIDS in a year if i chose to be gay and that it was just a phase. Then they put me in Conversion Therapy.
This is a generational comment. You have no clue how the internet has changed the public perception of what being gay means, or how the public perceives via the media surrounding the issue,, is bound to impact how we perceive ourselves, especially young gays. This is a story of young gay romance, young gay love. Its sweet. Its innocent. Its full of romance. It is NOT a story of gay lust or gay sex or a series of one night stands, and shame . In short, there was nowhere where an adolescent gay boy in my day, could ever read or hear a story like this if you lived in a small town, and no one to share such a story with. These healthy innocent portrayals of new gay love simply had no place to get to the blossoming gay market for publication, because that market was distributed in gay bathhouses, gay porn-shops and gay bars. You have no idea how great it is that these stories are reaching the isolated lonely young people who need to get them.
Any stigmatized community has the right to tell its own story. I find it very interesting that black people for example can see that stereotyping someone as animalistic, criminal, addiction-ridden etc. is wrong when black people are the victims, but will gladly apply the same stereotypical logic to gay people and accuse them of all the same things.
I was that guy for the first few years after coming out to my friends. I was the secret boyfriend. It’s really scary to come out to your parents and work friends when you know they are not accepting, and my entire dad’s side of the family is not accepting. I knows it’s frustrating for the other guy, but everyone comes out on their own time and their own way. Andrew, you are so lucky to have a group of friends that was gay friendly in high school.
@@terryroberts7647 wow, you're so original! AND WRONG! The Bible is loaded with contradictions and I guarantee that YOU don't obey even a fraction of them; but I don't care, WE are winning and you are on the LOSING side!
Ron Romero and don't u wish u got caught by a hot cop and u guys say something like... what seems to be the problem officer? What r u boys up it's awfully late... Oh sorry officer we just came from a movie n we were just hanging out... Hmm hanging out or making out u guys being good boys or naughty boys.... And then the porn music plays in the background 😂... I love old school gay porn w a story
You’re so cute. I had a straight friend in high school who knew I was gay. He was not interested in me sexually of course, but also unwilling to stop encouraging me and flirting with me, it was hard to deal with for me. I had the worst crush. I think he enjoyed the idea of me having a crush on him.... eventually I had to walk away from the friendship because all I thought of was him. It wasn’t healthy for me. Years later we connected again and I had a long time boyfriend..... (we are married now) ...anyway, my friend came to on vacation in Hawaii to visit me. He was engaged to the girl he is married to now. ... it felt to me that he was sad I found someone and his energy was strange. He told me he wished he was gay because he loved me. That comment made me both happy and sad. I was in Hawaii and he stayed in our hometown in California.... so our contact was minimal. We speak very little now but I still wonder “what if”. He has 4 kids now. I’m in a relationship with a guy I’ve been with 29 years. I’m fortunate to have found love....but that first crush will always be with me. By the way, I’m probably 30 years older than you, but I’ve got a little internet crush on you. Thanks for making me feel young again.
I think some people find love connections with those they’re not interested in sexually sometimes. My forbidden love wanted me to tell him I loved him and he replied with I’m the only guy he’s ever loved and had intense feelings for but it wasn’t the lifestyle he saw for himself. I guess I’m headed the same route like the end to your story. He’s married with a woman and about to have kids and my partner and I are about to about to adopt our boys from foster care. That first love is always etched and I’m grateful for it.
I can relate so much to your story. We both used to finish work at midnight and go driving until sunrise. Two magical nights I remember having naughty fun: in the middle of a main road at 2am (had to run into the bushes a couple of times when we saw headlights in the distance), and out on a cliff top after midnight in pouring rain with lightning all around. Good memories!
This is the second story I've listened to straight through and I have to say, apart from the fact that Andrew is very easy on the eyes and looks wonderful wearing a singlet or muscle teeshirt, he has a most engaging way of telling a story.
I love listening to these so much but also they make me so sad because I never had this even though I was out in high school. I feel like I missed out on so much by not experimenting.
Hitting too close to home! Me and my last ex have almost the same story. Our “dates” would just be us hanging out in the car. we had so many car make out moments and we would go to the drive in all the time. It was fun. It started feeling old cause he would always be on the lookout for people he knew. He would want us to act like friends when we weren’t in the car. I kinda became more distant from him as I was realized I wanted something different.
God, man...Andrew...you just have all the best stories, sounds like this guy took a while to "come out". Life is so unfair, but yes, I've had an awesome decade of playing with new guys in Ft Lauderdale (after leaving Chicago). But I hate you, you described the cutest, tall, pale boy! My favorites!!!!
Andrew, I am soooo f**king ANGRY ...that we can only hit the "Like" button one time! You're a great story teller and that was a really sweet, romantic memory. Thank you so much for sharing! You make me wish I was 50 years younger! Peace & Love! ♥☮
omg Andrew having had all these crazy experiences at 16-17 y/o. the most intense feelings I experienced at that age were stress and anxiety over school😂 now I’m 18, nothing changed except that I am stressed and anxious over uni (it’s the remix)
Love your videos, great you learned to be responsible in your early teens, good skill to learn for the future aspirations and goals helps to build confidence which is great for everything and everything.
What an amazing story I really like your real life stories and your emotional reactions. Being so honest is very hard. Stay positive and do you and stay happy. God bless you Andrew.
Love these stories Andrew, I think you were really adventurous and kinda luck with some of the guys you met up with especially at such a young age. hope you keep doing these you tube vlogs looked forward to all the post coming from the ppl I follow.
Had a similar experience....granted this was 1989 and I was only 18, and had just obtained my Real Estate license so I was the youngest Realtor in the state of Missouri at this time. So of coarse, I had the key to any vacant house that was listed for sale. Brent...oh Brent. He was my first love. Same age as me but being OUT was still taboo! We did our whole dating undercover thing and it was amazing. He and I both eventually realized that there was a whole other world out there and we stopped “dating”, but remain friends to this day. Your story reminds me of the the evenings looking at the stars and wishing it would never end. Such good memories that I cherish and that have made me who I am today. Good story my friend! Hope to hear more content from you...I really enjoy your honesty!
So young. Stories like this beg the question, how many relationships are too many or too few? Are people better off figuring things out as you did, rather than moving to a big city as young adult and letting it out all at once? Is this or that a necessary means of figuring yourself out as an LGBT person? And are the answers heavily dependent on the individual?
Dude loved this story it was cute and I lived through it thanks for the details…lol… thanks handsome!!… I had a fling like that many moons ago..lol… Wonder were he’s at now??.. Thanks for sharing!
wow what an entertaining story, I brought to eat even popcorn. Despite everything, they had a calm breakup. When we are young, we are very indecisive and full of fear, it is normal. (no gay boy should live his life in secret) but in time you learn that life is short, and you need to make decisions to live happily.
Such a beautiful story. You are one of the most charming handsome young gay man alive. Thank you for the realist experiences shared. A sad ending to wonderful puppy love. Glad you are a successful person.
what a masculine guy,,,, love the way he does gestures, (kind of different from a macho man but soft masculine) the way he speaks and sweet masculine voice.... this is my type of gay person...congratulations boy,
I'm a month late to reply but I just found your channel so that's my excuse. Lol! Anyways here is my forbidden love story. When I was 14, (25 now) I had two best friends and one was giving subtle hints at having feelings but I was young and unsure. One of my friends unexpectedly, held my hand on my first terrifying roller coaster, and I held it back. We held hands a lot during rides that day lol. This is where the journey began. We had this hidden romance going on till age 17-18. Around age 16 in high school when I came out, he wanted me to say I loved him and his response was he wasn't gay. His words after were "You're the only guy I could ever love and be attracted to, it's strange..." (I know... teens lol) but it wasn't the lifestyle he wanted. You'd hardly think he was gay so it made sense to me. However, we had tons of sweet, innocent, and romantic moments. We'd cuddle and lay on each other out on the lawn till 1am under the stars. Sometimes he would walk to my house at 9pm so we could say we were going to his house to play video games and him living 3 miles away, we'd talk and get to his house around 2am. We'd sneak into each others rooms, play some Runescape and sleep over often. At age 16-17 he went to boot camp so he could graduate faster and when he came back, he came back with a girlfriend who I became great friends with for a long time. (Talk about awkward at first!). Long story short, when he came back he said he still felt feelings of love similar to what he felt for his girlfriend. I grew tired of him going back and forth, I felt it was unfair to her, and I really liked her as a person too. I didn't allow moments like that happen again and I continued to hang out with them (19 at the time) until our third best friend drunkenly mentioned a comment about our past. He had hidden this part of his life from her because it was never more than moments and a few innocent kisses. He really couldn't envision himself having a gay lifestyle which he also told our other friend after him and I had talked about it. *So much for long story short!* Lol. I was in the UK when it happened applying to universities and I wasn't there to explain to her, so he cut me out of his life to save his relationship but I'm glad because fast forward to now and he's now happily married to her and about to have a baby. I too am in a happily committed relationship and we now have two foster to adopt boys. I did see them at the movie theater once with my partner (I was 22 at the time so it had been a while since I last saw them) and she waved hi to the both of us and he just glanced and turned away. lol The end. Anyways, don't know if you'll read this or read this far but I love your content! Happy to be a new subscriber and I will definitely keep watching!
you did those voices (cop and yourself) so well! ever thought of voice characterization work (movies? cartoons? ) You live in the right (wonderful!!) town. (I'm in lalaland too).
your story reminds me a lot of this guy i used to be friends with and our friendship developed into a bromance =) unfortunately he died few days ago due to covid 19 complications =(
Great story Andrew! Ahhhh so young and innocent. Arkansas is a pretty state, you have no Arkansas accent. I loved your videos from Denver going out hiking & camping with your friends. 🏕️❤️
Such a sweet story! In college I started messing around with a buddy of mine who had a dinky little apartment of his own. Didn't tell anybody! He didn't want to come out!
My parents do know about my last two relationships, including my current fiancé, and they found out when I bought an apartment and was moving in with my previous boyfriend. Now they are ok with this, but it was not good at the beginning, especially with my mom. Thing is they've meet most of the guys I was seeing (maybe they've figured out by now they were more than friends) and before they knew they had no issue with them, but when they've found out my boyfriend at the time became like "he who shall not be named" (literally my mom would only sometimes referred him, and only as HE with emphasis)...
Although I never had an experience like yours, your enthusiastic telling put me right in the middle of your life experience. Our lives are always in transition some more dramatic or traumatic than others. It is recognizing them, building on them, not ignoring them that gives them meaning. Life can be sitting on a car hood feeling free or being scared of that flashlight...seems you transitioned beautifully.
So interesting the sponsor is a skincare line. I was going to say at the opening of the video Andrew, your skin looks amazing! Was this kid “strawberry blond?”
Glad to hear that you're in good terms with your secret boyfriend. Here is a video idea - Would you do an interview of all the guys you've talked about in your storytimes and talk about if they've seen your youtube videos? NO PRESSURE TO THIS IDEA
i have an eye doctor question for you. 15 years ago i wore trifocals for 5 years and then i lost them so i went back to my old glasses single lens. when i turned 65 i passed the MVD Eye test with those glasses altho i tried and failed to pass without them. 2 days ago at 70 y.o. i went in for the MVD eye test and passed with no glasses. bottom line, smallest print and i didnt even squint. i feel naked driving without glasses cause i never have. ever heard of such eye improvement with old age?
Hi, I'm english living in turkey, just watched about a hour of your videos.i find your so authentic, Funny and cute on top of it,(HOPEFULLY). And that with the car drives in the quiet country lanes,been there, got the Tshirt (40 Years ago) 😄 🤣 😂 love you, please carry on ❤
Love, love, LOVE these stories, Andrew! You should pitch them for a movie script! 😁 As for the hanging out hours, my favorite is from W&G..”I’ll pick you up at 10.” ..”10?!…I will have been in bed for four hours!” 😂
Hey,, had a similar procedure like you. No cancer but spermatocele on left testicle. No pain or discomfort before surgery but now 10 days later feels like I was kicked in the balls and some one is standing on it. Anyways, be sure to ask the surgeon a lot of questions. He said it would hurt a few days. After the surgery he stated the swelling would go down in 2-3 months. Thank God I'm not working. Too much pain to work and sit around all day with ice on my ball. Lol. So anyway,. Have a feeling what you went through.
I had one. He was my first boyfriend. I was in the same situation as you were Andrew. I was out, he was not. I thought to myself love is all about compromise, so I was fine with the idea of not telling others until we’re both ready. It was complicated at that time too, we were teacher education students in a country where Christianity is the main religion. People expect teachers to be second holiest to church people. He also comes from a religious family. Mine was more accepting especially my father. My mother also did not accept it really at first but she came around after some time. We dated in secret for about a year and a half. It was fun at first just like how you said it. We would catch each other’s stares and smile. We would hold hands when we were alone. Go to the beach and have little picnic. When allowed, we messed around in his room too. But then he started not talking to me. I still love him, so I continued to reach out to him in every way I can. One thing I’ve learned is that when one lets go of the relationship it won’t work anymore. So I let go of him too, left him one last message. But I’m still trying to let go of all the little things, till I get so far away just like in Lorde’s song. In the future, if I am going to have a relationship I will only go with someone who is ready and not afraid to tell the world that he loves me, and I’ll make sure I’ll be someone worth to be treated like that.
You are so lucky Andrew, I never got to experience young love and romance, even though I wanted it very much. Whenever I had a crush on someone they were either straight or not interested. People used to say, you're so nice, why dont you have a boyfriend. I would just shrug. To this day I still feel that loss. I wish you the best Andrew, you deserve it.
Yay, another vid :) love your hair!!!!! Your so happy!!! I love this vid and you and I wish I could watch more of your streams, but sadly they’re when I’m at night :/ anywayzzz, love ya
When he said "band camp", I heard "bank camp", and I thought to myself: "Man! Imagine a camp where everyday you learn about trading, banking, & finance. Sounds so boring."
Hi Andrew. I was smitten with someone once, many years back when I was 24. We didn't catch up often but when we did it was magical. I was going come out sooner than I did. But it wasn't meant to be, and I was blind to the truth. A few years later, and with increasing lack of meeting up, I find out he never felt the same way about me that I felt about him. Not long after I stopped talking to him entirely. It hurt for a long time, and to some degree it still does. Maybe it wasn't actually love at all. I'm 36 in October and still single. F-ing great...!! Sorry to go on a rant. Hope you're doing well.
Andrew: “He was straight and dating a girl” Me: “Damn I hate it when they do that”
Lol it be like that some times
in some countries in Asia, it is 300 times easier to get sex from a straight guy, who is handsome that picky gay men.

I have a secret lover right now. He’s my best friend’s cousin and we came out to each other on Grindr. He’s amazing and so kind.
That is so adorable!! We wish you all the best with him ❤️❤️
I’m happy for you but “came out to each other on Grindr” has me laughing. 🤣🤣
easily offended We knew each other before and we had no idea that we were both bisexual
Right on.😏

Andrew, since you are on lock down, how about a video on your lock down fitness/work out routine? Shirt off of course!

OMG Same I know right.😁✌️👌.
That's a super-cool story, is like something everyone dreams about. thx for sharing it. Andrew.
wow what an entertaining story, I brought to eat even popcorn. Despite everything, they had a calm breakup. When we are young, we are very indecisive and full of fear, it is normal. (no gay boy should live his life in secret) but in time you learn that life is short, and you need to make decisions to live happily.
Like the new casual hair style Andrew
Such a beautiful story. You are one of the most charming handsome young gay man alive. Thank you for the realist experiences shared. A sad ending to wonderful puppy love. Glad you are a successful person.
For some reason this was the most important YT video for me today! Hope you're doing well!
what a masculine guy,,,, love the way he does gestures, (kind of different from a macho man but soft masculine) the way he speaks and sweet masculine voice.... this is my type of gay person...congratulations boy,
your stories are always so cute 🥺im jealous 😂
I'm a month late to reply but I just found your channel so that's my excuse. Lol! Anyways here is my forbidden love story. When I was 14, (25 now) I had two best friends and one was giving subtle hints at having feelings but I was young and unsure. One of my friends unexpectedly, held my hand on my first terrifying roller coaster, and I held it back. We held hands a lot during rides that day lol. This is where the journey began. We had this hidden romance going on till age 17-18. Around age 16 in high school when I came out, he wanted me to say I loved him and his response was he wasn't gay. His words after were "You're the only guy I could ever love and be attracted to, it's strange..." (I know... teens lol) but it wasn't the lifestyle he wanted. You'd hardly think he was gay so it made sense to me. However, we had tons of sweet, innocent, and romantic moments. We'd cuddle and lay on each other out on the lawn till 1am under the stars. Sometimes he would walk to my house at 9pm so we could say we were going to his house to play video games and him living 3 miles away, we'd talk and get to his house around 2am. We'd sneak into each others rooms, play some Runescape and sleep over often. At age 16-17 he went to boot camp so he could graduate faster and when he came back, he came back with a girlfriend who I became great friends with for a long time. (Talk about awkward at first!). Long story short, when he came back he said he still felt feelings of love similar to what he felt for his girlfriend. I grew tired of him going back and forth, I felt it was unfair to her, and I really liked her as a person too. I didn't allow moments like that happen again and I continued to hang out with them (19 at the time) until our third best friend drunkenly mentioned a comment about our past. He had hidden this part of his life from her because it was never more than moments and a few innocent kisses. He really couldn't envision himself having a gay lifestyle which he also told our other friend after him and I had talked about it. *So much for long story short!* Lol. I was in the UK when it happened applying to universities and I wasn't there to explain to her, so he cut me out of his life to save his relationship but I'm glad because fast forward to now and he's now happily married to her and about to have a baby. I too am in a happily committed relationship and we now have two foster to adopt boys. I did see them at the movie theater once with my partner (I was 22 at the time so it had been a while since I last saw them) and she waved hi to the both of us and he just glanced and turned away. lol The end.
Anyways, don't know if you'll read this or read this far but I love your content! Happy to be a new subscriber and I will definitely keep watching!
Yayyy! So glad I turned on post notifications 😍 fresh off the press!

OMG ONLY IF FELIX FROM LOVE VICTOR IS IN IT AND MARRIES ME
Always enjoy what you post Andrew 🙏👍👍
you did those voices (cop and yourself) so well! ever thought of voice characterization work (movies? cartoons? ) You live in the right (wonderful!!) town. (I'm in lalaland too).
Sweet, innocent story! Thanks for sharing. It brought back good memories of my younger years.
your story reminds me a lot of this guy i used to be friends with and our friendship developed into a bromance =) unfortunately he died few days ago due to covid 19 complications =(
Lol we all wished we have young romances like Andrew. Here I am, just turned 20, never kissed a boy, still in the closet. LoL
22 here, never kissed anyone except my grandma ...
@@omer9357 it's good to know I'm not alone lol
@@MediaJunkey 💞🥰
It will happen when its meant to! I know everyone says that but it's going to be so special when it does!
@@andrewgoesplaces I'll come back to this comment when it does:)
Love your police voice! LOL! 👮♀️✋👬🏳️🌈
Acab. And that's on period
I thought I was the only one. Very sexy!
Great story Andrew! Ahhhh so young and innocent. Arkansas is a pretty state, you have no Arkansas accent. I loved your videos from Denver going out hiking & camping with your friends. 🏕️❤️
Such a sweet story. I love these! Thanks for sharing!!!!
Such a sweet story! In college I started messing around with a buddy of mine who had a dinky little apartment of his own. Didn't tell anybody! He didn't want to come out!
My parents do know about my last two relationships, including my current fiancé, and they found out when I bought an apartment and was moving in with my previous boyfriend. Now they are ok with this, but it was not good at the beginning, especially with my mom. Thing is they've meet most of the guys I was seeing (maybe they've figured out by now they were more than friends) and before they knew they had no issue with them, but when they've found out my boyfriend at the time became like "he who shall not be named" (literally my mom would only sometimes referred him, and only as HE with emphasis)...
Although I never had an experience like yours, your enthusiastic telling put me right in the middle of your life experience. Our lives are always in transition some more dramatic or traumatic than others. It is recognizing them, building on them, not ignoring them that gives them meaning. Life can be sitting on a car hood feeling free or being scared of that flashlight...seems you transitioned beautifully.
This story is soooooo sweet! Thank you for sharing it!
So interesting the sponsor is a skincare line. I was going to say at the opening of the video Andrew, your skin looks amazing! Was this kid “strawberry blond?”
Glad to hear that you're in good terms with your secret boyfriend. Here is a video idea - Would you do an interview of all the guys you've talked about in your storytimes and talk about if they've seen your youtube videos? NO PRESSURE TO THIS IDEA
The flex on the thumbnail lures us in. 😉
It's about time you posted!
Charlie Edwards yeah I missed him too, you should check out his twitch
Always love your story times hope your home is coming out great much kindness Andrew .hope the little chicks are doing okay..much love💙💙🌍🙏
i have an eye doctor question for you. 15 years ago i wore trifocals for 5 years and then i lost them so i went back to my old glasses single lens. when i turned 65 i passed the MVD Eye test with those glasses altho i tried and failed to pass without them. 2 days ago at 70 y.o. i went in for the MVD eye test and passed with no glasses. bottom line, smallest print and i didnt even squint. i feel naked driving without glasses cause i never have. ever heard of such eye improvement with old age?
Hi,
I'm english living in turkey, just watched about a hour of your videos.i find your so authentic,
Funny and cute on top of it,(HOPEFULLY).
And that with the car drives in the quiet country lanes,been there, got the Tshirt (40 Years ago) 😄 🤣 😂 love you,
please carry on ❤
I swear Andrew Neighbors is the most down to earth gay RUclipsr I've ever seen. I love him for that
I am religiously waiting for your videos Andrew. This video is so cuteeeee. You are always cute 😍 hahaha
Love, love, LOVE these stories, Andrew! You should pitch them for a movie script! 😁 As for the hanging out hours, my favorite is from W&G..”I’ll pick you up at 10.” ..”10?!…I will have been in bed for four hours!” 😂
The clean shaven look makes you look adorable. Keep up the good work!
I haven't felt like that in forever, but I remember those feelings like they were yesterday.
Hey,, had a similar procedure like you. No cancer but spermatocele on left testicle. No pain or discomfort before surgery but now 10 days later feels like I was kicked in the balls and some one is standing on it. Anyways, be sure to ask the surgeon a lot of questions. He said it would hurt a few days. After the surgery he stated the swelling would go down in 2-3 months. Thank God I'm not working. Too much pain to work and sit around all day with ice on my ball. Lol. So anyway,. Have a feeling what you went through.
I had one. He was my first boyfriend. I was in the same situation as you were Andrew. I was out, he was not. I thought to myself love is all about compromise, so I was fine with the idea of not telling others until we’re both ready. It was complicated at that time too, we were teacher education students in a country where Christianity is the main religion. People expect teachers to be second holiest to church people. He also comes from a religious family. Mine was more accepting especially my father. My mother also did not accept it really at first but she came around after some time. We dated in secret for about a year and a half. It was fun at first just like how you said it. We would catch each other’s stares and smile. We would hold hands when we were alone. Go to the beach and have little picnic. When allowed, we messed around in his room too. But then he started not talking to me. I still love him, so I continued to reach out to him in every way I can. One thing I’ve learned is that when one lets go of the relationship it won’t work anymore. So I let go of him too, left him one last message. But I’m still trying to let go of all the little things, till I get so far away just like in Lorde’s song. In the future, if I am going to have a relationship I will only go with someone who is ready and not afraid to tell the world that he loves me, and I’ll make sure I’ll be someone worth to be treated like that.
OMG that was such a great story and don't worry he didn't deserve you time to go find someone else that's way better.😁✌️👌.
Andrew's stories are always so nice to listen to
I was living for that flex at the start! 🤣😉
You are so lucky Andrew, I never got to experience young love and romance, even though I wanted it very much. Whenever I had a crush on someone they were either straight or not interested. People used to say, you're so nice, why dont you have a boyfriend. I would just shrug. To this day I still feel that loss. I wish you the best Andrew, you deserve it.
You look amazing here man. Great haircut 👌
What a beautiful story! Wish we could go back to the days when we were young sometimes!
Yay, another vid :) love your hair!!!!! Your so happy!!! I love this vid and you and I wish I could watch more of your streams, but sadly they’re when I’m at night :/ anywayzzz, love ya
When he said "band camp", I heard "bank camp", and I thought to myself:
"Man! Imagine a camp where everyday you learn about trading, banking, & finance. Sounds so boring."
Hi Andrew. I was smitten with someone once, many years back when I was 24. We didn't catch up often but when we did it was magical. I was going come out sooner than I did.
But it wasn't meant to be, and I was blind to the truth. A few years later, and with increasing lack of meeting up, I find out he never felt the same way about me that I felt about him. Not long after I stopped talking to him entirely.
It hurt for a long time, and to some degree it still does. Maybe it wasn't actually love at all. I'm 36 in October and still single. F-ing great...!!
Sorry to go on a rant. Hope you're doing well.
You still have a whole life in front of you
Looking gr8 Andrew and such a cute story
