Summary
New Yorker and friend of the show, Derek Lindsey, joins us today to share his experience coming out in his late twenties. Derek opens up about his fears about coming out and shares what finally pushed him to do so. We dive into the differences between straight and gay dating on dating apps as well as specific nuances of gay vs straight relationships. Derek gives his advice for anyone who might be struggling with their sexuality or debating whether or not to come out. Later, we discuss how Derek’s family and friends reacted to the news, and Derek provides his insight on what he wishes people knew about how to navigate that conversation with a friend or loved one who is coming out. Finally, we answer listener questions about the spark disappearing, how long you should wait for someone to be ready to date after getting out of a relationship, and how to choose between wanting something fun and wanting something longterm.
