Earlier I mentioned Duke as the spark to my great change this summer. That is absolutely true. Without Duke, I would be the scared little closeted boy afraid to get to close to anyone. That all changed this summer when I met Duke. We met under weird circumstances, but we started texting a lot. Eventually, I met up with him for a first date with him.
We hit it off from the start. Even though his sister was also on our date (we went to a theme park) the sparks flew. We talked and talked and had a great time! We even held hands on a ride which was my favorite part of the night. We decided that we needed to do it again.
So we went on dates some short, some lasting for the whole day. Eventually I asked him to be my boyfriend. He said “Yes”!! We have been dating for almost 2 months and things are great!
Duke is 17 also he plays hockey and lives 30-40 minutes away from me. He is way taller than me. He’s really handsome and cute, plus he’s well accomplished. He at the age of 17 already runs two businesses, that’s right TWO. He’s a picky eater unlike me, I will eat anything, but I’m going try to expand his horizons 😉
One problem we have is that Duke’s parents are quite religious, and when he came out to them this summer they disapproved of him being gay. Which is really hard on him so we have to keep our relationship a secret to them. His parents even track his car!
Despite the problems, we face we have come to love (yeah I said love) each other a lot and we plan to be in it for the long haul 🙂
