Homodorable

OMG, so cute.

And wow, I feel old at 36. Guys are coming out much younger than I did. And scary nervous dark spots to meet other gays have been replaced with pride parades and the Internet.

And dating via YouTube. It's crazy how social structures can completely change in just a decade.

I may be late to the party, but I feel the need to point you to the real life love drama that is the wooing by Chris of Nick--from NYC to Houston, and not by love letters, but love videos via YouTube.

This is new media. I keep hearing Bonnie Raitt's Love Letter in my head, and "working on a love video" just doesn't have the same lyrical quality.

From the funny queens at Queerty:

YouTube Sparks Gay Love?

Once in a great while we come across something so sweet, romantic and downright precious that our typically icy hearts melt temporarily. For example, this video from a New York City homo named Chris. It seems Mr. Chris, who hails from Houston, found a fellow YouTuber named Nick, fancied him and proceeded to court him via video in a series called “Boyfriending Nick”.



Above you see the first of many of Chris’ valiant - and adorable! - attempts. After many weeks of begging, pleading, singing and some more begging, Nick finally agreed to book a ticket to NYC and give love a shot. He’s headed here on Monday, so keep your fingers crossed the boys hit it off. If they don’t, we’ll probably throw ourselves in front of a subway car. Or just keep moving on with our lives, but cry every time we hear the song “Lollypop”. Watch Nick’s response down below. And, of course, you should watch the entire Boyfriending Nick series. Guaranteed to make you believe in love at first click.

Today Queerty posted the boys video of their first day together in New York.



I am such a sap for this shit.

Good news for all of you looking for some vicarious gay love. New York-based homo Chris’ internet stalking of dream boat Nick seems to be paying off.

Those of you following this charmingly saccharine story are well aware that Nick fell for Chris’ “Boyfriending Nick” YouTube series and booked a ticket to the big apple for a bit of a chemistry test.

Judging from this here video, the boys seems to be getting off to a great start. We don’t want to start any unsubstantiated and totally fantastical rumors, but we hear that Nick has successfully impregnated Chris and they’re child will be named after a certain gay blog. Also, the part of the shotgun wedding flower girl will be played by Alexis Arquette.

And, I must admit, I love how freaking easy Apple has made it for anyone to make movies like this. They should use this in their marketing. As should YouTube.
