Thanks for all the replies. I'll try to relax about it. Oliver, he was more than a friend when I first met him - he's only the 2nd guy I've seriously fallen in love with. Now, I think of him as a friend.

Hitchhiking's more of a challenge on the road less travelled.
I can relate to that. I lived a "straight" life until my forties. When I fell in love fifteen years ago at the age fifty-five, I remember remarking to a friend that I was less experienced than the average twenty-year-old. And it meant that I was over-anxious and insecure.
Things turned-out very well....as I hope they do for you.

Thanks Oliver, have another like.
Actually while we're on the subject of likes, I've just had a brainwave or brainfart, I'm not sure. Why don't we have a Miss Congeniality-style competition to see who gets the most likes in a month? Maybe it would make people be nicer to each other, 'cos after all, we all need more love in the world.

No. Let's not. On a Thai forum it would definitely lead to corruption.
"Like" Races my ass. Leave that to GayThailand's goody guys (Mass bannings ideed). What we need here is a "Dislike" button ... hopefully aimed at Moderators for the most part.
Whoever designed Liking should have their head examined.
For instance, I REALLY dislike this schmaltz.

(Now Cdnmatt chimes in with his love-me-love-me-not theories ... spew.)
I have noticed certain, shall we say reciprocal 'like' arrangements creeping in. Most notably with the Joey, Scotty and Latin Boys club. As I said, corruption. And chief corrupter is our own butter wouldn't melt in the mouth.....Joe.

I was going to post as soon as I saw the OP, but then decided to wait to see what the reaction would be to the OP. It is as I thought it would be.

Well Joe, the responses to this idea have not been especially supportive (and please ignore that suggestion that anyone had been padding other posts with Likes in some sort of reciprocal arrangement; we know that's not true).
The problem I see is that someone like You Know Who (currently attempting to transform/transition himself from heartless debauchee to civilized member of polite society), would become so well adjusted socially that even the most dedicated tree huggers would be lavishing him with Likes (only to be dismayed in future when he reverts to his true self).
IMHO

The transformation is largely imposed, not voluntary. Reversion to type will occur hours after the last moderator turns the lights out.
