The Average Gay Guy
Dave asked that we meet at the cafe we used to hang out at when we just started dating. It was this cozy boho-themed garden cafe named after the Greek goddess of harvest and agriculture, Demeter. I have not been to Demeter for a long time. Trying to move on from my failed relationship with … Continue reading Chapter 8: Robbie – Fleeting
Charlie and I broke up yet again. My idea. One of those “let’s-give-each-other-some-space” moments. The timing couldn’t have been any better, he was off to Cebu City for some work related things and I could use the free time to go out and catch up with my friends. First weekend of the “cool-off”: We weren’t … Continue reading Chapter 7: Justin – Space and Exploration
Harry’s silence reeks of judgment. I believe that in the five years that Harry and I have been together, I somehow have gained the right to demand time, Harry with his silence seems to be questioning my right, mocking my sudden emotional outburst. “We have already set our schedules six months ago, you could have … Continue reading Chapter 6: Nick – Hanging Up

He tells me he might still have feelings for his ex-boyfriend. I was actually beside Robbie minutes after … Continue reading Chapter 3: Ludovic – Sticking Around
Andrew suggested we had coffee at Anticipation. I specifically arranged our first meet up to be a coffee date on a late afternoon; if the date goes awry, I can always say I have a dinner meeting after, if the date goes well, we can go straight to a dinner date and have more time … Continue reading Chapter 2- Paul: Halo
It took me quite a long time to get to where I am now. And it took all my strength and willpower to decide to move on quickly after Dave decided that it’ll be best for the both of us if we broke up. I still remember the first day after Dave left. Saturday morning, … Continue reading Chapter 1- Robbie: An Inch and A Half
