I talk about the one thing that I find hardest to be truthful about to others. I conclude this podcast worrying about Jeremy and not knowing how he is doing. I would just like to know he is happy. I don’t think that’s to much to ask of his family. Outro Music: “When the body speaks” by Depeche Mode. Mic: Shure SM7B; Mixer: Mackie DFX6; Recording device: Garageband.

(I’m still listening, Nick. I’ve just been super-busy recently, keep it up though!)
With the age thing I guess that if you do come across somebody that looks as though they might possibly be a keeper, it would be the best thing to ‘fess up right at the start. I mean, you could hardly conduct or continue the entire relationship in semi-darkness. I know that, in the past, I was often mistakenly taken for being much younger than I really was …… and I did find that flattering, but I have noticed that that has stopped over the past year or so and people no longer act surprised when I mention my age. Guess it’s now self evident how decrepit I’ve become ….. Lord knows I’ve noticed it myself and avoid mirrors whenever I can.
Your worrying about Jeremy’s welfare is only natural & I don’t have anything to suggest about how you can resolve your concerns – apart from you doing as you said and taking a trip up there unannounced. But that may do more harm than good in so far as your dealings with his mother is concerned. I’m sure she’s doing what she thinks is right by her son, but that’s no help to you of course. It’s a worry, I agree….. and there seems to be no easy answer here.
I know how much you missed Jeremy but you really aren’t doing anything about it. Below is my comment in your podcast #394 and wanted to repost again. Love conquers all Nick, or at least try to prove to yourself how much you care about Jeremy. Talk ain’t all good, move and do something.
“If you really care and are concerned about knowing how Jeremy is doing nowadays, you could’ve at least plan to visit him at least once lately. Yes, phone calls to her relatives will help you ease your worries but showing up and visiting him will not only clear doubts and anxieties but also may make him feel you still care and love him. Calling over the phone is different from being there in person. I know this is too much for you to do but have you ever thought of doing it? I just don’t know how bad and what issues do you have with his parents and relatives but I’m sure even how much they hate you if you showed up and pay a visit, they will be appreciative in some ways. Whatever! That is just silly advise and then again you know yourself better.”
You may have other options in your mind, let us know, we may help you decide your next step.
With regards to the guy you recently and having a great time with, why can’t you figure out if he likes much younger man. Are you in such a good cover-up that’s why he can’t figure out your age? I’m sure there will be a time that you will both meet in broad daylight, by that time you will know the answer to that question. And if he cares too much about (younger) age then that so superficial and shallow. But it looks like the two of you are getting along, maybe you need to broaden your encounters, like say for example, watching a dvd/movie or conversing more, anything to help each other open up.
Wish you all the best on this one Nick, keep us updated and hope something will flourish out of this.
