A Slight Detour

Yesterday I wrote that I was going<b> meet a man </font></b>who I called a friend and get know him better. We were going start with a back rub and see how things went from there. Well this was just another part of the journey that did not go as planned. He wrote a message this morning canceling our meeting and telling me that he is HIV POS, and that he could not meet with me because of it. He said that he had given me every opportunity ask if he was and I did not.

I decided that I was not going accept this cancelation, but would keep the time we were meet. I showed and found that he was IM and and I started talking with him, and I finally convinced him walk with get a cup of coffee. It was a good walk, we walked along the promenade while we drank our coffee. I think he knows that I am not going ask him go someplace he does not want go. He does not want be the one that passes the virus on, nor would I want him feel responsible if I should contract the virus.

I went on a short detour on my journey and in doing so I found a relationship, but I am back on the road again and will now need to find someone to guide me to the place where this road leads. We talked about our growing , he in Southern California and here in Portland. He has been here for about years and was fascinated in the history that I was able to remember from my youth. We agreed to continue seeing each other and build upon this friendship for as long as we can. I was at first disappointed that things were not going to go as planned, but I made a friend in the process.
