Two actors on the British soap opera Rob Mallard who plays Daniel Barlow and Daniel Brocklebank who plays the Rev Billy Mayhew entered a relationship in May 2017. The couple split up in July 2017 but remain good friends.

 

That's only about two months.

 

Mallard plays a straight character and Brocklebank a gay one.

About 11 minutes . . . I saw - I conquered - I came and went

Here's what I think the Latin would be based upon Caesar's famous quote

 

Vidi Vici Veni Ivi

 

I like the story of the British general who conquered the region of Sindh in India (now in Pakistan). He sent back a one word telegram PECCAVI - "I have sinned". A great play on words!

What do you mean by relationship? A 5-minute anonymous encounter at a rest stop might be called a relationship.

 

Depends on how you define "relationship." If you mean a romantic affair, my shortest was probably about a week. If you mean a domestic relationship, the shortest was four years.

 

I've had lots of weekend affairs. Are those relationships?

 

More than a one night stand or a brief or anonymous encounter.

 

I think a relationship includes an emotional attachment.

As a young man, when I traveled, I often had vacation affairs - 3 or 4-day things with a local.

 

As a traveling escort who sometimes happen upon many “if I lived here, we’d be together” guys, I know the feeling. Those usually last a weekend or week. It’s hard because you know the days are limited.

 

As for the original post, the speed of time in gay and straight relationships are polar opposites. A 2 week relationship is all too common in the gay scene. You could *think* you’re dating a guy, he may introduce you to his friends a couple of times, and then after 1 or 2 dates, stop answering texts and invites for dates.

 

Most men I meet outside of escorting usually never lead to a 2nd or 3rd date/encounter, etc. Most these guys are addicted to the new, the unattached, the samples, the conquest, the validation.

 

I used to get twisted about it, and sometimes still do to an extent. But the other day I saw one of those “ghost” mother foes out at the club the other night. I stood a few feet away and even though I impulsively wanted to walk up and say hi, in my mind I was just like: F that mother foe. I just pretended like I didn’t even recognize him.
