Diaries of a homosexual

Breakups suck...really bad but hopefully you learn some important lessons. I know I sure did! Although this was recorded DAYS after going through one, it will equip you with some tools to handle situations like these because (not to brag) but I feel like it was handled pretty well (on my end). Maybe you're just nosey like me or maybe you'll take something out of it but I PROMISE you will not be bored.

this week I explain the juicy details of my six-month hiatus, following your passions, how I have been improving myself, and what the future of the podcast will be. There is some real advice in here that you definitely won't want to miss.

Feeling anxious about being alone forever? got no rizz? This week let's talk about some things that have helped me to feel less anxious when it comes to relationships and how to get good at being alone. It's important to feel good about yourself before you start dating so let me share with you some of the things I do every day that keep me feeling confident (I guarantee you haven't heard of them). When things start going well in the relationship department it's impossible to know the right time to pop the "L word" but let me give you my rule of thumb on how to tell if it's that time.

Join me this week as I share about my recent trip to LA, where I discovered that there are two different types of fun. What happens when you come back from your trip and realize you've been procrastinating on work? Don't worry. I've got your back with some handy tips on how to get things done even when you've left it to the last minute. I will also tell you my pro tips for a vacation so you don't end up with mild arsenic poisoning from tap water. And speaking of things that come out of nowhere, let me tell you about Teefy, the guy who headbutted me on the Skytrain in Vancouver. Yes, it really happened, and I'll share the valuable lessons I learned from the experience. I'll also touch on first kiss nerves. I'll share some personal stories and tips on overcoming those jitters and making that first kiss a success. Lastly, we'll tackle the age-old question of whether they actually like you or if you're just delusional. Trust me; we've all been there, and those things they're doing you think are signs they like you may mean just what you think they do.

In this episode, I'm dishing out some of the most creative and wacky date ideas that'll have you feeling like a love guru. But first, let me tell you about my near-death experience on a date in the woods at night (note to self: don't go on a hike at night). And then there was the time I spent Valentine's Day flying in a plane with a guy (yes, I know, I'm just as surprised as you are). And if you've ever wondered why people ghost others, or why it's even called ghosting in the first place, don't worry, I've got you covered. I'll also be tackling the toxic term 'broken heart' and why it's time to retire it for good. But it's not all doom and gloom - I'll also be sharing the importance of surrounding yourself with good people, especially when it comes to dating. Plus, we'll be answering the burning question: why is it so freaking awkward to eat in front of someone on a date?

This week I came out to my dad. He was one of three people I had not yet told I was gay. This episode is pretty deep and covers coming out to family that you don't think will be accepting, dealing with step-parents, and also my chaotic dating life. Don't worry I'm not doing it all for nothing, my many dates this month have taught me so many things that I want to share with you. Especially my pro tips on how to make the first date the least awkward encounter, even if you're an awkward person.

I kissed a guy at the club... and it made me realize some things. This week, let's talk about how to navigate exclusive relationships and when it's time to make it official. We'll also cover how past relationships can affect our current ones. I'll share some personal stories about how my past experiences with physical touch have made me hesitant in my current relationships, and how I've learned to have healthy platonic friendships (I'll also share my advice for what to do when you like one of your straight guy friends). Further, we discuss why people stay in relationships where they are not being treated right, and why people who grew up overweight may have more confidence now. Is this confidence real or false?

Jealousy is something we all experience at some point. This week we dive into what causes Jealousy, and why we get jealous. I also go threw a few examples of when I've felt jealous. Spoiler alert, I saw a guy I was talking to on a date with someone else...yikes. 

The gay community is a mess. Recently, there was a stitch to a video I posted on TikTok that had people losing it. So I decided to bring on the person who started it all to have a conversation. This week, Khumo Markham and I dive into basically every issue in the gay community, gay dating, gay standards, gay sex, as well as how the queer community treats people of colour and plus-size members. You will not be the same after this astounding episode.

Are you severely co-dependent? Are you worried about getting older and going into your next stages of high school, University, etc? This week @Spencerrthomas and I discuss being alone for the first time in university, how getting older can be scary, and how to not let these new responsibilities and pressures scare you. After these incredible 48 minutes, you will be able to confidently do anything alone and enjoy it! As well, Spencer and I cover embarrassment and go through some times that we have been embarrassed and why it's not a big deal (throwing up on a guy while sky diving isn't so bad is it)?

Talking sh*t is not the same as venting and being kind is so different than being nice. This week lets unpack a few different scenarios where you could choose to be a good friend and explain why some people would choose differently.  We also touch on ageism in the gay community, how I almost set a building on fire by accident, and my first date since moving to University (it's literally the best first date idea ever).

New city, new school, new people. This week learn from all of my escapades during the first week of university. We cover dating in college, how to end friendships that don't serve you if you still have to see the person, living alone for the first time, and my utterly embarrassing bathroom horror stories...plural.

This week we are in NYC!!! and let me tell you, Tinder is sooo much more fun in the big city. It creates the question, however, how do I make my profile the best ever? This applies to tinder, grindr, hinge, bumble, and any other way you date online. We cover the different ways to date online and how to approach it in order to see results. I also share a few stories about the experiences I have had in New York within one day of being here...it's a lot.

Breakups suck. Or maybe it's the best thing that could have happened to you! This week let's talk about how to tell when to end the relationship, dive into all different kinds of exes, and find out why stalking your ex can be ok in some cases. For those asking "Krisjay I've never been in a relationship how could this remotely help me?" Well from my collection of embarrassing personal stories you will have the tools for the best breakup ever!!!...when that day inevitably comes.

Dating someone who's in the closet can get messy. This week we explore the lengths some people will go to in order to stay in the closet, how the modelling industry has less opportunity for "plus size models", how being gay can sometimes make you an unintentional homewrecker, and so much more!

Everyone’s relationships are different however whatever situation you’re in it’s probably mentioned in this episode. This week we are going to examine all different kinds of relationship dynamics and explore what works, what doesn’t and why. I also mention an embarrassing story about how I fumbled the bag because I didn’t have the confidence to take action.

I've talked about my coming out story but I never fully explained the experience I had that led me to come out. In this episode, Ashley and I open up about how clothes make you uncomfortable when you’re insecure, my first gay experience, and Ashley also recounts her first ( and hopefully only) time dating a MURDERER (yes an actual murderer).

Ever wondered what goes on at elite all-boys private schools? Are all the rumours you've heard true? This week I detail a ton of stories from my two long years at an all-boys catholic high school. From guys watching explicit videos together to teachers who wrote on your forehead in sharpie and lit your homework on fire. Enjoy my retelling of EVERYTHING that went on.

Scared to wear what you want because of the fear of judgment? I was like that for years. Let's go over how you can feel comfortable enough to wear that one special outfit in public! We also cover different types of peer pressure and I provide you with some truly embarrassing examples,  like my Halloween spin-the-bottle experience.

Want to avoid having awful roommate experiences? Me too! This week, TikToks @spencerthomas and I delve into roommate horror stories, his journey at NYU, how spencer is figuring out what he wants to do after college, and why body image is such a big issue and how to become the baddest bi*** you can be.
