When does it end?

[wouldlikemuscle]

I don't think it does ever end.

I'm asked quite often whether I have a girlfried yet by those that I havent come out to. I just say no, I'm single (which is all true!!). If they asked me outright am i gay, I'd say yes... but I guess I'm "straight acting" / masculine enough to not raise suspicions as no-ones asked me outright yet.

When I do get asked about my love life... and avoiding the whole 'actually, I'm gay' thing, my heart-rate rises and I get this awkward feeling. Having only started the process of coming out this year to close friends and family... I'm still on the paranoid side of telling people in general conversation.
