Not telling the truth

[I-heart-U]

I personally think that if people come right out and ask something so personal in such a blunt way they deserve to be lied to. The very first person I ever came out to (one of my very good friends who I really trust) was someone at work, every time we went out she tried to set me up with girls, I would always ask that she doesn't do that but she thought she was helping. One night we were out and having a few drink, she noticed a few girls and asked me which one I liked, it seemed that she was about to go over and introduce me to them. I said no and she leaned over and in my ear whispered "why don't you want me to do that?" and I said "why do you think?" she said I have a feeling but I could be wrong, and then very quietly she asked if I was "you know" she actually used those worlds and I said yes. That was fine for me because it was very delicately handled and we became even closer friends because of it.

While at the same job when another friend was leaving on his last day he asked me if I was gay but because of the way that he asked I didn't feel comfortable to tell him and boy did I make a fool of myself. You know what they say, he who protests too much, well I did that and I really regret it. Having said that, now that I'm looking for a permanent job for after University I always answer Gay to the sexual orientation question.
