No, no, it does not continue. Just me listening to her, since now she’s digging in the bottom of her sorrow. I cannot do in different way…
Only one drink, we were 4 guys all worried about the 3 hours meeting with other 15 people…

It’s the old story: it’s not nice what it is nice, but it’s nice what one likes (free translation of italian maxim).
That’s also why this evening I spent 40 minutes at the phone. Simply I cannot say “no”, especially if she’s really down with humor…Later today (itnow ‘s night, late…) you’ll see me sleepy…a drink after a meeting of politics was necessary!

Thanks, Pietro. We shall see if it is right…….in any event, the guy really turns me on……….and, for me, that is something very important. In spite of what people may think, most guys don’t turn me on…..they have to be perfect. He is not perfect but, I don’t know, there’s something that he does to me…….

Lots of dates, good for you. About the HIV stuff. Many are scared about the transmission. I remember that, once we discovered that my cat was HIV positive, the worry was about transmission to us, also because cats like to scratch people! The vet gave us the very best answer :”do you really think that with the many nice ways I could take it (= wild and rough sex with girls), I’d take the risk with cats?”. Obviously the blood is different and there’s no way of transmission. But it is true for all diseases: if you uses care, no risk at all. Finally, no one knows if someone has some disease, even good friends (they could ignore themselves!) and if one of my friend will cut his arms bleeding very much, I’ll help him anyway.
The same situation, and I know you know it, happens in Italy with gays. Many has the fear to have any kind of contact. Why? I do not know. I think that the first thing is the respect. Once I have it and I give it, one can be as he/she likes.
Unfortunately, I have seen that the “fear” applies also for some problems like depression or ansiety. I was told, sometimes, to go away to avoid to become depressed on my own. Obviously I did not. If I care about one (man or women is the same) I’ll stay anyway. Because I care.
So, if you think it is right, continue.
