It can be
very easy as a gay man to misinterpret feelings of friendship with those of
love. It has happened to the best of us. You spend every day with someone,
share your most intimate secrets, laugh together, cry together, shop together,
drink together. Then one day your friend will flash you a smile and you get a
warm tingly feeling in the pit of your stomach (and somewhere south of your
stomach). You start to look at him in a different way and feelings start to
grow alongside a burgeoning obsession. Then every time he talks about another guy
or kisses one in a club you die a little inside and a psychosis starts to take
hold. Suddenly you decide that he doesn’t give you enough attention and you
start to get more and more possessive of his time. Obviously he notices this
and begins to distance himself from your increasingly unhinged ways and this is
when you break. You call him crying to confess your undying love and pledge to
be with him forever, an offer he politely and rightly rebuffs. You are then
left as a broken shell of the man you once were, emotionally frayed, alone and
minus one good friend.
Sounds like the coworker I work with, he's cute and the day i met him I had a crush on him however he has a boyfriend and vows he would never cheat on him. However there are moments where are faces get too close that i'm afraid one day it will become something more. I'm afraid that breaking point will come real soon!
ReplyDeletePlease!! Do tell.Actually in my case in my case it's with a straight friend and it is way too exhausting to be in such a situation.
