One friend reminded me of an incident with an early boyfriend...which I'd totally forgotten. Time, it turns out, really takes the edge off and can make one so much more generous.Lemon Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07280085058516960260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-12529981971311774802012-02-16T12:50:13.293-05:002012-02-16T12:50:13.293-05:00Miranda!

Relieved he was gay (it wasn't me!) but so mad that he'd strung me along - why ask a woman out if you are a gay man??<br /><br />But now that I have years of hindsight and compassion I really believe that being raised ultra-Catholic, he was struggling very hard against being gay. I read some of his diary pages and he was tortured.<br /><br />Unlike you, I have never had any gaydar. My friends were like, wait, he loved opera and show tunes?!! But you know, so did my dad. And he was very athletic, but he could also talk about Renaissance art and orchids. I thought it was a fascinating combination.Lemon Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07280085058516960260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-65804292130501506992012-02-16T12:42:11.038-05:002012-02-16T12:42:11.038-05:00He got it in one of those Santa swap games at thei...He got it in one of those Santa swap games at their Christmas party, but he was the perfect person, because he actually would put it on and walk around in it.<br /><br />No, I don't think he gets bored with me.

No way. Um. Yeah. He is. He was living with his boyfriend (roommate) then and still is to this day. <br /><br />I actually believed my friends because 1. I was 23 and impressionable; and 2. Why would a gay guy ask out a woman?
