		<description>I have several thoughts about your experience here.  One is that perhaps Trent felt as awkward as you did.  Maybe both of you are exploring something new, and while the good-bye was strange and you feel that you learned nothing about yourself, I'd be careful where you assign the blame for that.  There were 2 people there....
sex without love, or sex without friendship, or sex without mutual admiration, is very often flat, cold and unfeeling.  You didn't have a chance to explore your attraction to him, or to any man really.  I remember some of my early explorations.  The sex was ok, but when I fell in love with a man, that's when I knew that I was gay.  this one person was everything I wanted in a man, in a partner, and in a relationship.  plus, the sex is great  ;-)</description>

		<description>wow.  I hear what you're saying here.  If you're on your way out of the closet, don't wait.  Don't suppress it.  I tried to hide it.  I tried to be straight.  I even got married and had kids.  None of that changed my attraction to men.  There is life on the other side of the closet, and it's pretty good.</description>

		<description>Hi there!  Sounds like we're kind of dealing with a bit of the same stuff, definitely happy to find out there's another guy thinking out loud about his sexuality. :)</description>
