42: Groped At The Gay Club

In this episode, Matt, Steve, and Jessica will dive into Steve’s dating life right after him and Jessica ended things, and they’ll start off the conversation with an interesting discussion on the type of guys he’s attracted to and likes to date. Right after ending things with Jessica for good, Steve dated Sebastian and after that too was over, he got into the dating scene in Boise. He had a bit of a rough time in the beginning because, as he later learned, he wasn't meeting the expectations of most of the guys who were interested in him, due to the fact that he was neither looking to mess around nor get into a serious long term relationship.

The first guy he dated was very understanding and gave him space because he knew he was just starting out in gay dating. He was a great guy and was actually also friends with Jessica even after he ended things with Steve to the point where he actually took care of her, did her hair for free, and even went out dancing with her. Jessica was always very supportive, loving, and welcoming of every guy Steve dated which made being new to gay dating much easier for Steve. She got comfortable with pushing the boundaries when it came to supporting Steve in his new lifestyle because she understood what Steve was doing was not personal to her or a reflection of how he felt about her. 

She knew Steve cared a lot about what she thought of his new life and all she wanted was for him to love and accept himself, and understand that she was okay with his new life. Steve will share how he got his first group of gay friends when he joined St. Michael’s church by the Capitol building in Boise. It was a very accommodating gay church but he only went there for six weeks because he discovered that religion wasn’t for him. It’s going to be quite an interesting episode getting to learn about Steve’s dating experiences and how they positively impacted Jessica’s life. You can also expect some awesome inspiration on acceptance of self and others, and how to make the best out of your relationships. Enjoy!
