I cant believe that Andrew's 26. He looks like he came straight from highschool. And thats not a bad thing.
you mean "gay from high school" 🥴🥴🥴🥴
you're totally not over him ~~
just go for it dude !
I agree
definitely! go for it!!
A one time fling is worth a lifetime of regrets...
Cute story, Andrew. I married a Marine...his uniform got to me...lol...that was 60 years ago. Yes, I'm an old lady that LOVES gay men and follow a LOT of them :O)
You are a 👑 queen
Buzz Barnes oh you are so cute!
That’s nice of you
"My mom keeps pressuring me to give her grandchildren."
I feel your struggle, dude. I feel your struggle.
Your not the only one. I went through all that untill..parents died. I dont miss not being married.
I wasnt interested in passing on bi polar among other things. I dont like my sister or two inlaws they.are vexatious spirit's
He just needs a egg 🥚 and oven, she have a grandchild...
I feel like I need a psychical exam all of a sudden
Lol. Yes, I think my eye hurts too. Lol!!
I'm pretty sure you will stun a lot of your patients when they see you.
lol right??
def
That's for sure!
Bruh I'll pretend I'm sick every week to come see him lol
If they can't see him, they're in the right place. (He's an optometrist.)
omg the way you talk is perfect
Yassssss Oliver! 🌺
On one of the first dates I had with my current BF I invited him over for dinner and asked if he wanted to help cook. He was SUPER shy in the beginning so I assumed he didn't know his way around the kitchen, so I began telling him how to measure the ingredients, etc. Little did I know, he was a freaking master cook and was playing along as if he didn't know what to do the ENTIRE time! I was so embarrassed when I found out he could cook!
We've been together now for 4 incredible years! I've cooked for him less than handful of times since. LOL
That's so cute :)
Jon Ramones I did the exact same stuff. Little did I know my husband was a culinary chef and he was in the military as a cook as well.
I may not be in healthcare, but as a fellow young professional I was SO PROUD to hear how ethically you thought things through. Cheers.
Hey Andrew - Stu here. I'm a gay Canadian doctor, recent grad, sort of same stage of my career as you, and just moved to Australia. I've been asked a few times about using social media to connect with patients in my practice. And of course have once or twice already run into the situation that you have were you find yourself inadvertently sort of 'twitterpated' with a very attractive patient. Then after they leave you pull yourself together and realize you were letting your professionalism slip. I have to say you have guts talking about how you dealt with that so openly on social media. My work environment isn't homophobic in the slightest but at the same time it's not really a subject you can broach with your nursing staff or your colleagues. Props to you.
Every time Andrew chuckles or laughs a little. Makes my heart melt.
I stumbled upon your video. I know nothing about you except what I saw and heard this morning during your "My Date with the Military Boy". I'm 53 now but your story about having butterflies brought tears to my eyes. It was so sweet, so genuine. I brought back a flood of memories of my youth and the times I had butterflies for several wonderful guys. Thanks again for this - I will start watching more of your projects. I wish you only the best in your journey.
I am so speechless and so happy! I was stunned for the first 5 min, so I needed to go back to rewatch. lol
That was such a cute and adorable video! Jealous of Military guy! ❤️❤️❤️👌🏼
+Steve Blevins thanks! I'm very honored
I've been watching your videos lately and now you have a new subscriber, love your videos and your voice is great !
I really like how you take your time and explain everything very clearly. Plus you have a very comforting voice. Kinda makes me feel the feeling you get when you plop down on the couch/bed after a long day of being on your feet.
What a genuine video, so honest, direct, and full of real emotion. Thanks for sharing this as it really make me think about my own life.
I wasn't going to do this but I decided that I will only to say that your video or videos really cheered me up from such a rough week I've had. One of my closest friends who is gay and had emotional issues was gunned down by the Royal Canadian mounted police on June 14th here in Nanaimo BC Canada. . Four days later I lost my wallet with all my ID and credit cards. His parents were 3000 miles away so I had to contact all his friends to tell them of his demise. The memorial was yesterday and people from all over Canada and United States showed up in support of him. He worked in Seattle, Denver, and Japan and of course here in Canada. There were so many wonderful things that I found out about him that I didn't even know from the people that hired him. He was an extremely talented carpenter, artist, singer, guitarist, and all around generous guy who was always there for everybody. I met him working on a job 5 years ago by a guy named Andrew who was renovating a house he had just bought. We became fast friends and worked many jobs together. I am a painter. .He had drawn up plans to build a suite on top of my garage and I was excited to start it with him. I will miss him dearly. May you rest in peace Craig Andrew Ford. Thank you for your vids Andrew ... you put a smile on my face.
Wow, this is so sad. My condolences.
Some guys are magic and beautiful. This story is very sad and I am sorry .
Thank you for keeping him alive with your words.💖
Funny, you actually ARE so many of the qualifications that attract you: sincere. intelligent. upbeat. ernest. goofy. polite. handsome. a happy soul.
Excuse me! You should be going on a date with me not that guy! 😳
lol cute
"That's it....we're getting a divorce, how could you do this?!"
Lol
Alec End no he shouldn't lol 😁😁😁😁
Ewan Oxborrow oh snap
GO GET HIM OMG!!! You two sound like a PERFECT match, I'm so happy that it went well
i love these sit down 1 on 1 videos
Andrew. Here's my suggestion. Go with the butterflies. Trust me on that. I saw my partner walking across campus 36 years ago. And it was butterflies and unexplainable love at first sight. Nothing in life is worth having if it's easy.
Had a grin on my face most of the time. It's like sitting and chatting with your best friend. Thanks Andrew. I'm a little scary for you with your connecting to someone you were seeing professionally.
I don't often feel compelled to subscribe to channels but your videos are so genuine. I don't know you but there's something about you....an infectious energy and vibe about you: warm, inviting, and charming....it's so refreshing. keep up the vlogging--congrats, doc!
Love the comment from you Mom wondering when you'll deliver grandchildren. So cool that the notion of Grandkids from your gay son is becoming normal. Our generation really did not consider kids as a possibility. Check out Matt + Blue. Cool vids of them being Dads (Although they could use a good editor). One thing I don't miss is the dating scene. Especially if you really want to date and create a relationship and not just hook-up.
Gee. I think their editing is super.
+beachesboy1994 actually the editing is fine, I just think their videos are a bit too long. Love their videos though.
What a genuinely nice dude.
+Andrew Goes Places 👍
Andrew, I learned so much about you watching this video. Just hearing you talk about how others effect you, the man opening a door for you, etc.. You have such a mature idea about people and seem to be very aware of your own feelings. Very unusual for a young person, but considering your education and experiences you have more to draw upon than most people your age. I'm glad you enjoyed the Pride weekend here - Denver has always had very good communities attend Pride, very diverse groups. I think that's what its all about. Anyway, loved your video and am impressed with you as a person.
I'm literally mesmerised by the tone of your voice. It's so warm and relaxing, I could listen to it all day long and never get tired of!!!!!
Cute vid Andrew
You guys should do a collab with Andrew sometime. One of his best friends live in LA so he visits there. I love your channel and of course Andrew is awesome.
Ahhh, thank you!
That guy sounds like a keeper; I would love to find a guy like that. I really feel like I really, really got to know you in this video, and I've watched most of your videos now.
This resonates SO well with me and an experience of mine. That moment when you suddenly meet someone genuinely good and even though you separate you feel like you come out as a much more optimistic and happy person - Love it! Also, you hella cute dawg. Keep it gangsta.
I've spent the last week watching every one of your videos and you have become my favorite TH-camr! (Sorry Mark and Ethan) lol. Your positivity truly is felt even from a video, and every time you make me smile. The world needs more people like you! You really inspire me, and I'm sure many others, to be the absolute best person I can be, and to always stay positive! Have a good week :)
student or not, kind of shocked u would get involved with a patient. btw, i'd like to come in for an exam. next tuesday at 9 work for you?
Andrew you'll make an amazing partner for someone, maybe this guy you met at the base you never know. Seeing your videos gives me hope of finding someone because to me you're everything I would look for in a guy. Make videos when you can and feel comfortable, as long as you do I don't mind waiting a few days, doctors can easily get deeply rooted in work. Thank you for sharing, it makes my day that much better. :-)
I love your videos. You speak to us like we're right there on your balcony with you. Not a lot of youtubers do that. I've seen a quite a few that talk to you like they're reading a script. Btw, I love all your plants and flowers. They're beautiful. :-)
I hope everything you shot for hits it mark. Your videos are very down to earth and genuine! Keep up the good job! Thank you for the videos. You are awesome!
I love a Marine, especially in their dress blues.
Him: ... and, he was probably 6' 3"
Me: *Gay gasp*!
just love the easy conversation style, Andrew! You're the best!
Andrew, your videos are always nice to listen to. You have such a good voice and calming which is enjoyable to hear. Your stories are very real and the way you describe your experiences is great. Keep up the awesome job on these videos. Best regards, Steve S.
"I want more plants"😂😂👏🏼
"hope you're still not dilated!" A AHAHAHAHAHYAHAHHAAHWH!!! that's so cute Andrew!!
Like more what you did on youdate
Andrew the more I watch your videos the more I see what a kool guy you are . Your spirit is so pure . You can almost feel your soul . Bless you.
Awe! 😭 how you retold that, was definitely amazing. I smiled just watching. 😁
It's not that you ignored his attractiveness. Until the exam was finished, you were a paragon of professional detachment!
I can hear my old boss screaming, "HIPAA!!" Haha, but seriously...
Yup. And his medical insurer, too! Hope this vid doesn't come back to haunt him, from one Doctorate to another.
+Caleb Zeller Yeah, it could if another person accuses him off something similar. :(
+Caleb Zeller your a dr to ?
+Fred Medina 0609370 I have worked off and on in healthcare for 15+ years. One doesn't come up in that field without being lectured heavily on HIPAA and the repercussions of violating it.
still didn't answer my question lol
I enjoy the calmness and kindness in your videos. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Your videos have so much great insights. Been watching quite a no of them lately. Keep posting videos like this please.
Omg he is so hot I love everything about him the way he talks the way he looks and his personality he's just perfection
He genuinely makes me smile with just little things he does
Damn cute story, Andrew! Your an excellent storyteller.
I'm so glad I found this lad. Everything about this video was... Dreamy.
I can totally relate to the date based on a past experience.
I love these story videos you've done you have such a way with words, your just amazing...
Andrew check out Zach and B's new vid about his date from hell. It;s hilarious. Love butterflies.
Your right Steve. I can't imagine how I would have handled it. I think I would have said at the bar, "hey I have to pee, brb" and left through the back door. lol
My cousins last name is Blevins also. Not one you hear everyday.
Loved the anecdote, Andrew. My partner - 6'1"- always goes weak in the knees when a guy over 6'2' walks in the room. But I ended up the lucky one - he picked me and I'm only 5'10'. :)
Loved this video. You made it feel like we were right there with you on the balcony. I always feel so calm after listening to you talk.
Just found your channel. What a nice guy! So genuine and well rounded. Your personality is as beautiful as your smile. I look forward to watching you and your success. Thank you!
"They look really good there all dieing" 😂😂💀
They're*
dying*
Lol!
I seriously thought he was referring to micah!he's the 1st handsome tall guy military/airforce that went straight to my mind. 😄😄😄
Micah has green eyes, he said brown.
I saw this video when it first came out. I can never get tired of hearing your stories. I would love to see you do scenarios of your life. 💙 your content
Thanks for being so charmingly honest and up for life as it is.
Is dating dead?? Not sure if it's the area I live in, or no men I encounter want an actual date. All they say is let's "hang out". No. I want a date. Not a casual hookup, not where we hang out with others or anything like that. A date, Take me out to dinner, ok, maybe a movie too. Conversation, eye contact. And maybe some kissing goodnight.
Too bad I am not healthier and younger, as I would still go out on a date.. But, alas, now in my 50s (and in failing health) I am smart enough to know that part of my life is over.
I also know most men with homosexual proclivity are not interested in men over about the age of 30 or 35 years old, unless they are themselves in that age range (and even then, not usually interested in same-age or older males). So-called "gay" men are even more repulsed by older males than in heterosexual society. When a younger male is in a relationship with an appreciably older male, chances are very good the older male is paying for services rendered. But the same is also true in heterosexual relationships, albeit with slightly different dynamics, sometimes known as "gold-digging." And nowadays, with this trendy phenomenon called "cougars," I am betting more older women are even paying to keep younger men. But let's not confuse "hired hands" with love and romance.
It has been traditionally acceptable for women to marry much older men. And certainly by the second and succeeding marriages, women are not as motivated by love and romance as by the bank account. And men wealthy enough to afford them (hello, Donald Trump, Republican presidential nominee-presumptive) have no problem paying for these so-called "trophy wives," which is just a higher caliber way of saying "whores." When Jacqueline Kennedy married billionaire shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, that marriage was certainly not based on love and physical attraction on the part of the former First Lady of the 35th president of the United States. But in so-called "polite circles" it was not proper to call Jacqueline Kennedy out for what she was--a gold-digging whore. Also, the fact Mrs. Kennedy was a widow of a murdered man, still with two young children, lent a certain amount more of restraint on the part of her critics than had circumstances been different.
Is it possible for a younger person to love an older person--yes, one's parents and grandparents. But to have a sexual relationship with a much older person, without finances being a factor, is just unnatural. That said, I understand there is a relatively small susbet of persons who have a sexual attraction to older persons, the reverse equivalent of pedophiles, also sometimes called "wrinkle queens." I mean, name a kink and it is bound to exist. But there are also people attracted to barnyard animals and inanimate objects, doesn't make it natural or normal.
Once one is past one's 20s (and sometimes before then, with more insightful and intelligent persons), one realizes there is more to a relationship than sex. I knew when I was 18 there was more to a relationship than sex, just not mature enough then to know what to do about it (and so I drowned my sorrows in alcohol). That understood, though, a physical attraction should still be part of a good relationship, otherwise it is not a healthy relationship and based on something other than love and physical chemistry and romance. Also, romance shouldn't be one-sided.
Good luck in finding a partner, Josh! I hope you have a better life than I have had in that regard. Just be careful, and use precautions. There is no one over whom it is worth dying.
Sorry Josh, some of us don't want all the crap that comes with a date and relationship, we just want to get off and get gone before it all goes bad.
Thanks for the input though don't see why it was necessary to tell me that. I understand fully that not all men want that; duh, I'm not stupid. So thank you for that comment that added nothing to the conversation at all.
Joshua Strother You asked a question and you got an answer.
It was rhetoric. I said stuff after it, re-read it please and keep up.
Damn, if you were my optician I'd die in the chair 😂
I appreciate the thoughtful way you articulate yourself
I really wish you had a podcast. I've been in the office all day listening to your videos. You have great content!
Has anyone pointed out that he looks like Mark and Ethan's love child (Mark E Miller)??
I'm 6'4 *wink,wink HINT HINT*
Rick Lee id feel like a little person next to you. Being that im only 5’/5”...
I love your honesty and openness in your videos ;) Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We need to hear more positive gay dating experiences on TH-cam.
Normally getting into all this stuff at work in your vlog would out you in a position for someone to misrepresent some experience you had gone into deal with. But because of your dedication and honesty, i think it will do nothing but enrich your career and the caliber of your friends. If it took any courage to start doing these, you deserve great credit for going ahead with them... Always being careful not to reveal specific names or places that could end up being hurtful.
What a handsome man, you look like you're 19 years old
bulge and 12:25 LOL gotta pause it just right ...that's right i said it!
deym 🔥🔥
dzayum dzaddy
o__o
Perv
lol I haven't even started the video and I skipped ahead to this. I'm disappointed in myself. 😂
I can see the excitement in your eyes every time you talk about him, it's really nice. Too bad you guys aren't a thing
Interesting video Andrew. You are a down to earth guy. That is what makes you who you are. I had watched a few of your videos before a while back. I recently subscribed. It seems a lot has happened in your life in a positive way. You really had a great time a pride in your city, and I think that is great too. You keep growing and dating and coming into your own.
Lol love your plant dude
+Andrew Goes Places by the way you are really attractive dude ps. Love your shirt
+Andrew Goes Places are they roses?
+Andrew Goes Places I can tell that the fern is a Kimberly Queen fern, bit the plants on the floor look like rose bushes. Am I correct?
Love the recycled stuff in his place.
+Andrew Goes Places bro, Jesus is coming soon, pls read your Bible.
Awwwww,my favorite part had to have been the moment when you "saw" him for the first time. That must have felt anazing for you to stutter and be all flushed :)
btw, love the cubs t ;)
You are a great guy! So considerate/understanding, and all!
Andrew, I think you make me a better person. Now that i'm 25 and working and such, I don't socialize a whole lot. Your videos are a reminder to me to just take things easy and be less serious. You keep reminding me of the important of being kind!
Now, what's the tall guy's Instagram?
lol
I think it's chrisk8oh #BRHUEHUE #BrazilianInvestigation
Weldo Rodrigues de Oliveira Well thanks for helping me find Daddy.
stalking skills on point 👌

Looking at your lips the entire video lol
So charming, so chill. The final blink seems to take a lot of efforts lol. Good luck with your job!
you're great Andrew. prior military here and totally understand the hardships of dating within the service and have lasting relationships. you're super handsome and I sure if it's in the cards things will work in your favor. keep that pretty head held high. god bless buddy
When I was deployed to Afghanistan some of the guys in my platoon
suspected a fellow soldier of being a closeted gay. On one occasion, as
we were pulling security atop a giant hill with several "towers"
located at various points along the ridge, a few of us convinced a
handsome guy in our platoon (let's say his name is Jackson) to feign
overtures of adoration to the suspected gay (let's say his name is
Middleton) who was alone in one of the towers, manning his sector.
Jackson was to confess that he was gay and pour out his heart to
Middleton in hopes of eliciting a similar confession from him. It was a
cruel trap we tried to set for a brother, and I was privy and party to
the whole stratagem--Me--the one who was the actual gay man in our
platoon. But, in order to fit in, and be like one of the guys, I felt
compelled, or rather, delighted to expose Middleton just for laughs.
Well, it turned out Middleton was not gay. Jackson later told him that
the whole confession of love was just a joke. Everyone laughed it off.
But I always felt so ashamed for being part and parcel of an attempt to
shatter the confidence of my friend, knowing full well that if the same
foul trickery were conspired against me, I probably would've confessed who I was to Jackson who in turn would've divulged my secret to the jeers and joviality of the entire platoon. It would've ruined me completely.
Servabo_Fidem What a wild rollercoaster of emotions...
Servabo_Fidem a not uncommon phenomenon, I have known guys who beat up gay guys only to years later come out.
Yours is a very poignant story, with I think the main attribute being that you are the one left with the consequence and I must say the conviction to have taken something away from it. Good work!
that sort of behavior and thinking on the battlefield is, among other things, very much against being a good solider and brother in arms. Hopefully you have learned from this. Too bad none of your fellows of the time will (we hope at least some do).
Great history. Maybe Middleton has confessed, but Jackson has his principles and not to ruin the reputation of his friend he did not say anything to anyone. And who guarantees that Jackson and Middleton have not really kissed and agreed to have sex afterward. Did not you ever think about this hypothesis?
I have been there, done that and have been ashamed too. Not anymore. Now I am me.
And this week we learn how to rationalize away your ethical concerns
Wow, that has to be one of the most romantic, sweet dating stories I've heard in a long time. By the way you describe him, he was quite a catch! As you said, it's nice to know that there are guys like him out there. Gives me hope.
Andrew, You seem like such a down to earth & caring guy. You talk to the camera like a you are talking to a friend. You are going to go far with your videos. There is only a few vlogs I watch beside yours which is MarkE & Ethen, all three of you seem to have such a positive outlook of life and want to share that with others.A better term than saying you pulled it out of the trash is "Junk'in or Dumpster Diving" lol. Looking forward to more shirtless videos...haha, Have a Great Day!!
With each video i watch from this channel. I feel a little more uglier.
You should totally send this video to him...just saying.
And I have a feeling I know who this lucky guy is...😏
Micah doesn't seem like 6'3 though instagram.com/micahestep/
Steve Blevins Now that makes sense
I understand what you mean, so many same people in this world then comes along that guy that sets himself apart from all the others, and you're just so nervous because all you care about is if he feels the same way about you the way you do about him. can't wait to meet my guy, keep us updated on your new boo, it's fun listening to you talk because we have so much in common.
You have to wonder about 'coincidences' like that- I think you should definitely keep in touch with him!
you go on dates with hot gentlemen like sweet guys and all I get are desperate 40 year olds that want sex in the backseat of a car. howww!
what a torturing slow this guy is to tell a story i closed the window 3 minutes into the video
You're joking, right? These stories are absolutely fascinating. I'm enraptured. A genuinely articulate and clever guy talking about his life - fascinating!
+Andrew Goes Places you're cute so I forgive you
+Andrew Goes Places you're so adorable I can't even watch your videos because I get awkward lmfao
+logan4231 you wouldn't say the same thing if he was black and ugly
+Javier Mcfee lol what.. I literally said he's adorable. Obviously my point is I'm attracted to him. What does race have to do with anything? It's not like I'm not attracted to black people..
Yawn!!
Realising this video is a few years old it's now January 2021 however I love the plant, I keep lots of them on my balcony too over spring and summer 🌈 thanks for sharing your life views always appreciated
Be careful of the ethical boundary.
Whoever at your school gave you that counsel was not your friend.
Andrew, congratulations on your military date. you should follow up and keep in touch with this guy. stay friends, invite him to visit you in Denver. follow your heart. don't let emotions and butterflies ruin a great friendship that could in time develop in something special. much love to you.
I think your lucky to have met someone like that! I'm glad you have a good memory like that to keep with you!
i dont know why but after watching i was left with this motivated feeling...which is what i needed.. thank you! :)
So cute to watch your face when you talk about him. It´s lightening up.
Honestly this is so cute. You are seriously adorable and your skin is flawless.
Wow, this really speaks to me. Thanks for making videos like this.
Thank you for honoring (in a prior video) the hard, courageous and often excruciating work those of us in "the older generations" (you're killin us with that part) did to make life better for all LGBT people. It means a lot when someone acknowledges it.
