Sometimes I wonder if I’m asexual…I mean I’m not physically attracted to people, just appreciative of their beauty. Don’t get me wrong, I had my fair share of romances, but they all ended badly, and my current one is on the verge of collapse…I’ve always dated guys, and once I realized I was bi, I wanted to date a girl, but not for sex…

But how do I explain all this to my conservative Christian boyfriend who wants us to be sexually active?
And what do I do about my extremely strong feelings for my transgender friend?

I don’t know what to do anymore.]

[Text: “I had planned to come out on April Fool’s Day, because it would be really easy and I could brush it off if it went badly, but…

I never got a chance to. There’s a few of my friends I’ve been trying to come out to for a while, and who knows how long I’ll have to wait now…]

Text: Lately, I’ve been imaging what it would be like going on a romantic cruise with you. All this flirting around is making me want to be more than friends.

But I don’t think I can give you the relationship you deserve.

I feel like I am all alone… I have no safe space…”].

Tonight I took my best friend to our place (WELL, it’s not really our place, it’s just a place we went but you get what I mean). I told her we should go there because she would like it, but in reality I just wanted to go back there to reminisce. I just didn’t want to be a weirdo and go back there alone.

I’ve told everyone that I have a new girl but I’m lying (like I always do) because they think you’re awful and they’d see me with anyone else other than you. 

I’d give anything to be back with you (emotionally and physically).

Please forgive me, or at the very least accept my apology.

Fine by me, each for their own, but am I the only one who prefers home-evenings, cuddling and long dinners? Where are the other “old school” romantic gay men? I can’t be the only one. …Can I? I am not even that old…”.]

I’m happier with him than I have been with anyone else, and I can’t imagine not having him in my life.But I also have never had a girlfriend before and was looking for women when I met him instead.I find myself wishing I could be with a girl and thinking about it frequently. I want to have a romance with another girl and sweep her off her feet. I feel guilty about it even though I would never cheat on him……and it worries me. I don’t know if I’ll be happy long term this way or if i’m just making a mountain out of a mole hill in my mind.]

But today, as I went to the coffee shop with my boyfriend, we run into a group of about 14-15 years old girls. Fist thing they declared as they saw us was loud “REAL LIFE YAOI!!” Then they promptly proceed to aproach us and ask for take a picture of us kissing and asking invasive questions of our relationship etc. They didn’t leave us aline the whole time we stayed on the cafe. I mean what the flying fuck!?”]
