johnny0313….you should broaden your gay horizons. MANY gay relationships make it well beyond 6 months. Homosexual relationships tend to face a lot more obstacles, and quite often do not receive the familial support that heterosexual unions enjoy, which can make success a little more difficult. Look at the rate of divorce in heterosexual relationships… And they enjoy the support of church, family, government, and society as a whole. When you think about the fact that quite often the homosexual couple has to overcome these many obstacles, it is amazing gay unions last any time at all. But they do. Just as with heterosexuals, relationships take an incredible amount of hard work and a commitment to stand strong through the hardest of trials.
Sorry to ramble on. My answer to the original question. I really don’t think you should pursue a straight man. You should respect his sexual orientation. Simply be a good friend.
