    I used to be drawn to a “project”: men who I dated for their potential.  That was my virgo-ish-ness on full display.  I've unlearned my overthinking, hyper-critical, project seeking mannerisms and replaced them with some more self-actualized behaviors.  But those lessons came from dating men like “Tony”.  Luckily, I caught this lesson before it was too late. ➡️ Shop DBGM Merch: https://www.dearblackgaymen.shop  ➡️ Become an Insider: https://youtube.com/@dearblackgaymen/join ➡️ Join the newsletter: http://dearblackgaymen.substack.com

    I know it's Leo season, but this lesson in Gemini dating hit me so hard this week. I went on a date, asked the guy “what are you looking for?' Of course, in true gay fashion, he responded “I'm not really looking.” For some reason, we'll go looking for EVERYTHING in the world except a date. We'll look for money, cars, degrees, jobs, customers, but love is something we expect to fall in our lap. This episode is dedicated to righting a wrong that has Black gay culture in a chokehold. Hopefully this week's doneness reminder will leave you feeling a little more courageous as you go through the emotional ups and downs along your journey to happiness.

     @BishopOCAllen  renewed his vows to his husband of 20 years, Rashad Burgess. Allen, who I call “B”, said he hates folding clothes. To the untrained ear, that sounds like something you discover over a 20 year marriage. But to me, I thought how dope it is that he's self-aware enough to know that about himself and to say it publicly. This episode is dedicated to helping each of us single people grow a level of self-awareness that helps us date better, find better men, and connect with guys more deeply. I'm using one example that we've all seen on the dating apps or in real life, but this one problem in Black gay culture may be able to shed some light on a bigger lesson we can all apply to our dating lives as Black gay men. #datingadvice #relationships #singlelife Special Announcement coming tomorrow: https://youtube.com/live/Y9yLzIEjxaw?feature=share “Single is Your Super Power” by Case Kenny: https://amzn.to/3DkqlSs Special thanks to  @oretteayton5262  and  @phynekat  for the comments and encouragement Join the Afterparty on Patreon: https://bit.ly/3OysErB ➡️ Become an Insider: http://www.dearblackgaymen/subscribe ➡️ Join the newsletter: http://www.dearblackgaymen.com/weekly Welcome to Dear Black Gay Men on YouTube.

I learned a valuable lesson that comes up when we think about compromise in dating. #dating #relationshipadvice #singlelife Cast of Love & Us Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsyEUF8oSDh16JK_AlExsRuNLa44mq2Tu Welcome to Dear Black Gay Men on YouTube.

I haven't been the most dedicated to much in my career, but conversations about dating, s*x, gay culture, and single life thrill me so much that they outweigh all the mundane tasks. So this look back is one part unpacking aha moments, and one part taking pride in the conversations we've had. Thanks for rocking with me. --JTG #sexadvice #blackgaymen #gayandproud Welcome to Dear Black Gay Men on YouTube.

    This episode was therapy for me. It took actual therapy, a failed Jack'd encounter, and some introspection for me to see one of my deepest issues in dating. Enjoy.
