Love, Friends, Awkward and LGBTQIA+: Experimentation

Experimentation

By sex ruins friendships - 13/12/2021 11:01

Today, I tried to reach out to my friend after not hearing from her for a while. One night while drinking, we both admitted to being bi-curious and decided to experiment with each other. I thought it was just harmless exploration, but apparently this makes her never want to speak to me again. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I was at a party. The girl I'm madly in love with referred to me as her 'Gay Friend.' She refused to kiss me in Spin-the-Bottle as 'She didn't want to do anything with anyone that night'. She then made out, and slept with, my 'best friend' whom she had never met before. FML

Awkward conversation

Today, I had to have a very difficult and awkward conversation with my best friend about her fiancé hitting on me. She seemed completely unfazed and ended up admitting that a three-way with me was actually her idea, but she didn't want to "weird me out" by asking me about it. FML

Take the L

Today, I confessed my feelings to my best friend, how I'm deeply in love with him. The consequence wasn't good, as he told me we should never talk to each other again. FML

Today, after weeks of summoning up the courage to come out of the closet to my best friend, I told her I was gay. Immediately after she started cracking up, thinking it was a joke. I was so confused and nervous, I went along with it. She still thinks I'm straight. FML

Today, I hooked up with a friend. I expressed an interest in it becoming something more. He expressed an interest in not telling anyone and pretending it never happened. FML

Today, I was texting with my childhood crush late at night and we were exchanging secrets. I figured this was as good a time as any to tell her about my long-standing crush on her. Turns out she's a lesbian. FML

Today, my friend isn't speaking to me since I came out to her. Not because she's a homophobe, but because she's mortally offended that I didn't confess my love in the process. Seems that everyone who's attracted to women should be attracted to her. FML

Today, I was drunk at a party and confessed my love for my crush and told her how I felt. According to my friends, I made out with another girl not long after my confession. FML

Today, my best friend who I have been secretly in love with forever, was ranting about her ex-girlfriend. Then she said : "If only you were gay, we'd be perfect for each other." So I took the chance to tell her I was. She responded : "Well I am still not attracted to you though." FML

Today, I ran into an attractive friend of a friend I hadn't seen since a night out last month. I tried my best to be friendly and interesting, but he still seemed awkward. Later I found out that the last time he saw me I was blind drunk and vomiting after having propositioned him all evening. FML

"I kissed a girl: Didn't like it," Curiosity killed the cat. In this case, a synonym for cat killed the cat.

Firstly.. how long was "for awhile"? couple days? weeks? After going through something like this with my youngest daughter I can almost assure you she is not mad at you in anyway. She might have realized that she is more than curious and is afraid to talk to you about it. Maybe she is from a family that has no tolerance for anything that is not straight. Giver her some space/time to process and do not push for answers as that will most likely push her farther away.

Keep trying. Use a thesaurus if you need to.

It probably meant to her, more than she is willing to admit or to commit to. Probably she needs some space to figure out her feelings.

Ouch. Hypothesis 1: Someone with power over her is homophobic, and disapproves. She needs to pretend she isn't bisexual or even bi-curious, and can't do that around you. Hypothesis 2: Your friend fears rejection, and is afraid of you abandoning her, so she left you first. Some people do that. It's a self-defense response to earlier trauma, and it has nothing to do with you.
