I want to know whether I will ever find a man who is monogamous.

I have had many gay male friends all of a sudden decide to settle down and find Mr. Right and not fool around any more. And remember, it’s when you are not looking that love happens.

You are only 17, no one is monogomous at that age. Finish school, have fun and enjoy being with different sorts of people. I didn’t find anyone until i was in my 20’s.

After combining those discussions with what I have seen among my gay male friends and acquaintances, I have concluded that 70 to 75 percent of gay male couples agree to ‘open’ relationships, while the remaining 25 to 30 percent prefer monogamy. So it is quite possible for you to find a partner who is monogamous. You may have to try a bit harder, though, and it may require patience. I am very happy to be ‘married’ to a man who values monogamy as much as I do, but I am by no means judgmental of those who prefer ‘open’ relationships. Many such couples mutually agree to the freedom to ‘play’ with other men as long as the solid emotional bond between the two of them can be preserved. For some, this freedom actually seems to strengthen the relationship. Personally, I would not feel secure in such an arrangement. My partner Greg and I are sufficient for each other, thank you very much.

In response to your question, I suspect if you discuss each other’s views of relationships prior to adding intense emotions, you might avoid a painful realization in the future. As you are 17, you will gain more experience with which to view your involvements and how to maintain respect and integrity for yourself.

Name : Matthew, Gender : M, Race : White/Caucasian, Age : 45, City : New York, State : NY, Country : United States,I have found that most girls who date in highschool and complain that their partner is promiscuous are dating the wrong guys. There are more nice guys than not out there, but the nice ones never come to most girls attention. Unfortunately, this is because at our age most girls (and guys) are superficial (read: it couldn’t be related to the fact you only date guys with tight butts and good hair and have a bad boy reputation). I don’t like to make assumptions, but my experience is leading me to make one, here since you provided no other information. If you date a bad boy, don’t act surprised when he treats you like shit and cheats on you or abuses you. Nice guys aren’t found at highschool parties (read: keggers) and you don’t meet them in detention. And the odds are they’re not going to approach you if you have a rep of dating bad boys, meaning you need to make the first move.

Actually, in this world, there are lots of potential partners. Before you find one to settle down with, though, you need to find out what you really value, what qualities are essential to you. You’re on a voyage of discovery. Enjoy the trip. Right now you want to reach the final destination, an understandable desire. But relax and enjoy the journey. Make friends. Try out lovers. And discover who you are and what you really need. Love will find you, and you will find him … often when you least expect it.
