This movie def. sounds like what I'm going through...


A gay/bi male in love with a straight male. I wish others could understand that it isn't easy, people want to judge homosexuals because all they think of is "gay sex" but when it's not the act but the emotion. I, myself have even experienced suicidal tendacies just for being in love with a guy who I know in fact not knowing whether if he was or wasn't wouldn't in the end reciprocate my feelings. Others need to stop thinking of homosexuality as just one thing and that it's definitely not easy experiencing a lot more of pain than love. I'm one of the very few in reality who look for love and a relationship, in my age bracket (20s) is not that common for gay men to be looking for a LTR because they just want sex or hook-up's. It's extremely difficult to deal with not being "the object of affection" of the one you love. Wanting the man you want to love you is painful.

Nothing would be worse then telling the person you love them and then they say they "hate you" sounds like an oxymoron but not literally anyways I would say that happen but would sure feel as to be that way, most likely I would assume any straight guy would just really stop talking to you afterwards but you'd hope it would just bring you closer even if it were just friendship but that always seems be very rare to occur as well.

By the end of the movie when J. Aniston talks to George aside at wedding, I've felt and still feel all that her character has felt in the movie. "I want you to love me the way I love you".
