Something i read by graham norton in the Telegraph

This made me laugh

Dear Graham
I'm a healthy male in my thirties from a strait-laced, presbyterian background (my father is a clergyman). I recently "came out" and am struggling to adapt to the casual, no-strings culture of the gay scene. The problem is that I tend to get heavy and serious too quickly and this puts a lot of men off. Although I have no problem getting dates, I never seem to be able to hang on to them, and this leaves me feeling used and despondent. I have many (mainly heterosexual) friends, but I long to have a proper partner for doing couply things like walking the dog and going to Ikea. Do I give off the wrong signals? Luke D, Kent

Dear Luke
You have to run before you can walk. Dogs and DIY are where relationships end up, not where they start. For now, you're trapped on the dance floor working your way through a lot of frogs. It may take time to find your prince, but if the worst that happens is a deal of casual sex before you and Rover tackle the flatpack coffee table, how bad is that?

Sex without love may not be ideal, but it is still sex. You might be doing it slightly later in life than most, but enjoy your own personal coming-out party. As I said to an earlier correspondent, you had better enjoy life with yourself before you can enjoy it with someone else.

Don't worry: one day you'll have your wedding list at Ikea and a small dog will carry a basket of flowers in its mouth down the aisle. It might make me feel sick, but if that's what you want…
