An ocean away, but I'm cheering for you Daan. You are an extraordinary person. I have to keep reminding myself to remain in the present day as much as possible and take on those challenges first and let what will come in the future to naturally present itself. Hopeully I may be more prepared when that time comes. You're a beatiful handsome man, I have no doubt that you will find your person one day, be it in a relationship or other. Some things just take more time to manifest or come to fruition. I'm sure you already know this for yourself. Cheers !
Hi Daan, thank you for sharing, found your chanel recently on a search about testogel. And loved your videos, I'm Transman , one and a half year of transition, and a see myself in same situation, but at the same time, I'm just enjoying the process, getting more confortable with myself, finally beeing my true self. So i trully believe that with time everthing Will get in place. I totally agree with you that terapy and knowing ourselfs is essencial 😊
I hear you Daan. I am at that uncomfortable place. I am insecure, the lack of top surgery contributes to that. I went out for the first time in 30years and the next day I got pnuemonia. Smh. Relationships are a lot of work if you want a good one. I have been single for 12 years and thinking about being inclusive for other people is something Im not sure on. You don't have to live together. I know a few people that don't live together and have been dating for four years. I'd date you. But you're in Norway? lol Anyway, Ive been sick, Im recovering and I hope your confidence grows. I think the last time I got home at 5am, I was 19 years old lol.
It's wonderful to hear you're feeling more comfortable with you you are ☺ Dating is so terrifying, here in the states it's like risking your own life just to find someone if you're trans. There's someone out there for you, just a matter of finding them. I think a lot of us out here have the same insecurities about "who would want me", and it's a big boat to be in! After my transition, I came to the realization that society labels me as gay because I like men, but I haven't had lower surgery (might not ever get that far in transition). The only thing I came up with is that there's many different other ways to work around what I have, and what the other person may want/like. I joke with my other trans friends "I come with attachments, just like a vacuum cleaner!" and it gets a laugh, but it's also kind of a bridge between wants/needs of any relationship I find. I'm glad those places are out there that make said attachments as well. It's not the real deal, but it helps. It's hard to find out and realize what you're comfortable with and not comfortable with. Just like any part of life, it's all "learn as you go along". Honestly, I hear more and more people talk about keeping/having their own places even though they are together now that you mention it. I love my "me time" and my own space! Of course my cat is allowed here, but he's been my buddy for around 16 years or so now. I think pets are great! Indeed, I'm still here ☺Your contemplations and topics are nice to hear! Your plants and wildlife are a nice touch as well. Your videos feel like just two friends sitting on a couch thinking out loud, it's nice. I appreciate it! I haven't heard of any of the games you mention, I'm still playing Zelda Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom 😁 I love just wandering through the game foraging for things (I've beaten both games, but love the open "wandering around" part of the game more than the objective to beat the boss) I hope your week goes well, and the weather is nice for you and your groups 🌞
Hi Daan, great video and thank you for sharing. 🙂 You know I can understand your insecurities. If I was Trans I would feel exactly the same way too. It's one thing to share things amongst work colleagues etc. but it's a whole different opening up when it comes to the prospect of personal relationships. What came to my mind is the prospect of wearing the Trans Flag in the form of a badge. It is subtle, it's very politically correct and also a potential talking point for someone to approach you with. I think if it were me I would take this approach as a potential ice breaker. Hope this has been of some use to you. ❤
When i was in my thirties , i went out with a boy ,he road a motor bike and had a beard - he was the sweetes guy - much more sweet than the usual gay guy -like myself . I found out he was in transition - still had breast and so on . I was to young to seize the moment - he has a boyfriend now married with two guiny pigs ;) i think you guys are so great ;) hope everything will feel easier when time passes ;)
Hey Daan. I just wanted to comment on your insecurities when it comes to dating. Yes, some men or women might “want a man with a p*nis”, however…there are many advantages of dating a trans man: 1) you understand the female experience better than any cis man ever could (and you’re likely a true feminist?) 2) you can choose your equipment size and fit the needs of the person you’re with 3) because you went through your transition, you have proven to be extremely resilient when it comes to societal pressure and went through with it anyway 4) you have actively chosen to take the difficult road of becoming a man, you are extremely self aware and take care of yourself which is something potential partners will surely value. Actions speak louder than words, my friend. And your actions have taken you to a place where you feel more comfortable and less insecure with yourself. Anyone who cannot see that doesn’t deserve to get to know you on a deeper level. Just saying. There are 100% potential partners out there who will recognize your achievement of actively choosing yourself. Also, one possible angle might be the queer community (gay, bi, pan) because those folks are open minded anyway. Just saying. Love your videos, keep them coming. Cheers.
You look healthy and handsome, so I’m sure you will have no problem meeting someone. Maybe use the apps at first, so only interested people reply. Just tell them who you are and what you like and let them decide if they want to meet. But take some time to get to know them by email, text, video chat, whatever makes you most comfortable. You’re in no hurry, right? In my last relationship, we kept our own apartments for the entire ten years. Good thing, too. When we needed time alone, we could just go home. The ultimate relationship luxury is alone time. And alone time gaming is even better! 😺✌️

So much progress already happened and I'm sure there's so much more to come! You'll get there for sure. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
You'll be a great partner to someone. Don't even doubt yourself.
