awwww that story is so

and so

I'm glad you are both happy now and have remained friends that is fantastic.

I must admit I do find it interesting when occasionally you can meet/see a guy and question if they might be gay and others can think it too but the man hasn't admitted it to himself yet never mind anybody else. Makes me wonder how many gay men never come out?
Interesting point HC.... In my experience (and that's all I can go on), you know those men that people say, hmmm, if it wasn't for the fact that he was married/has kids/etc, he could be gay?
Well they ALWAYS are! I wish I could say Steve was the only gay man that's asked me out, but I'm afraid he's not!
There was one guy in my last job who asked me out for months... Again, one of the nicest blokes you could ever hope to meet, everybody's friend, and so when I turned him down, I was seen as either a real bitch for hurting poor Allan's feelings, or really stupid for turning down such a lovely guy.
It appeared that I was the only one that could see he was a raging poof... It seemed so obvious, and I couldn't understand why no-one else could see it. In the end, I had to take him out, get him roaring drunk, to get a confession out of him.
It was still a while before he came out to everyone else (who then of course said, 'oh yeah, thought there was something, but couldn't put my finger on it!')
Fortunately, Allan is (like Steve) still one of my bestest friends!
Not sure what it is about me, but if a gay guy wants to attempt to convince himself and the world he's straight, he thinks I'm the girl to help him do it! (Does that mean they just think I'm caring enough to cope with it, or maybe I just look like a bloke! rofl!)
