Today, I realised that my closeted gay friend has dated more women this year than I have in my 28 years of life. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at a party, I watched the guy I've liked for AGES come out of a bedroom with one of my gay male friends. They were in there for a while. FML
Today, my gay best friend slept over, as he has many times during the past three years of our friendship. This time, however, he confessed to me that he's only pretended to be gay to get closer to me because he's in love with me. I've allowed my stalker to sleep in my house and in my bed for three years. FML
Today, after being out of the closet for over three years, I learned that some of my friends still don't believe me that I am really a lesbian. They still think I made the whole thing up because I can't get a man. FML
Today, I found out that my friends were convinced that I was gay. I have known most of them for 3 plus years, they all thought my girlfriend was a special shopping partner. I found this out while announcing my engagement. FML
Today, I found that my "lesbian" best friend and roommate is now dating the guy I've been trying to get a date with for weeks. FML
Today, I found out that the guy I've been dating for a year is and always has been gay. I was apparently "an amazingly convenient beard" for his ultra-religious family. FML
Today, a stranger told me how proud he was that my boyfriend and I were so open with our sexuality. For the past three years, most strangers have thought we're a pair of gay men. I'm a woman. FML
Today, I found out the girl I've been trying to date for six months is gay. FML
Today, I realized that my gay male friend tells me I’m pretty, gives me random compliments, and shows me off more often than my husband of 10 years. I legitimately can’t remember the last time my husband called me beautiful. Even if I ask him how I look, the best I’ll get is “You look fine.” FML
Today, I finished the run for a play in which I played a gay man. Now that all the performances are over, I have kissed a man more times in my life than I have kissed a woman. I'm straight. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If he's gay is it fair that he is dating women giving them a false hope of a relationship?

Maybe you could pick up some tips from him! From how I've seen my friends treated, some men's overpowering need to get laid prevents them from showing women proper respect. Maybe your friend is making a good first impression by attempting to engage their brains instead of their privates?

Anyone ever think that his closest gay friend is a lesbian? Everyone is assuming that his closest friend is a man.

Well she wouldn't be all that far in the closet if she is dating women would she?

Re-read. "Closeted".

That is exactly what I was thinking. A lot of men have women Bestfriends, and a lot of women have male Bestfriends.

I just didn't think it's that much of an fml if your gay female friend is dating lot of people who she actually wants to date. Wouldn't you just be happy she's having success despite her obvious difficulties?

He never said his friend was female, it sounds like his closeted gay friend is a guy or he'd be calling "her" a "lesbian" more likely. Which shows why he'd be more jealous as well

Reading comprehension is fun!

Doesn't mean anything towards you. If he's hiding the fact that he's gay then he might just be dating any random girls just to keep up the facade that he's straight?

I know this was posted as anonymous but this should have a follow up. like is he bisexual or really a closeted homosexual? are these girlfriends just cover ups?

Remember, since he is gay, he has zero emotional investment in these girls. He is planning to break up with them from the moment he introduces himself. That removes a lot of the pressure you would experience when you try to pick up a woman. Also, he probably has to break up with them quickly, to prevent the relationship from getting to the sex stage. So for him, women are easy to pick up and need to be dumped quickly. Of course he's had more girlfriends than you.

Obviously what he's doing is working then, OP. You should ask him for some pointers. It couldn't hurt to ask.

I sure the guy is gay?

Why is he dating straight women ?
swanheart 35
Because he's in the closet and trying to appear straight?

Whoops didn't read the closeted part

Why'd you put "straight women?" lol.

You should tell the girlfriends that he is gay. That's so wrong of him to do, giving those girls false hope and a false sense of a relationship. Those girls don't deserve to be lead on and honestly your friend is a jerk.

Maybe he is only dating closeted lesbians . That way its a fair relationship. He would have to move on to a new relationship before it people start questioning why they aren't moving the relationship forward.

It's also wrong to out someone. It's not okay to tell other people someone is gay if they aren't out. Gay people can lose their jobs in the US, word could get out to his parents and screw him over, the kind of town he lives in might be violent. He is probably dating these women to keep the façade of being straight for personal safety.

Yeah maybe he is bisexual. And don't lose hope I am sure you will find the right girl give it time.
