    You know when you know you've got an inevitable awkward moment arriving.
    And you shit yours pants non-stop.

    Yeah.

    So my boyfriend's dad found out we're together.
    After i left apparently he was like
    'So he's your boyfriend then?'

    my boyfriend said he was just a bit D8
    and told him he'd tell him about it when he's back from being out with his friends.

    So i'm here awaiting to here what his dad says to him.

    His dad's a cool guy
    and apparently he said it cooly
    and he's having a good hour or two to think about it on his own
    yeah i think he'll be a bit disappointed.
    But i can't say he'll be shocked.

    But next weekend.
    When i go back round to his house.

    ARRGGHH

    I wont be able to look his dad or his brother in the eye.
    Unless he tells me he knows and he's cool with it.

    In which case i'd anoint him as the coolest father ever.

    I hate when you know there's no way out of awkwardness.

    Have you guys had this?
    (not the exact situation, the whole inevitable awkwardness)
    Most people who are out almost CERTAINLY have

    I've had SO many experiences like this. Strangely, I can't think of one specific example. It's like, after that awkwardness, I repress those memories and forget about that.

    Hopefully all goes well for you! Just remember not to be ashamed when you see your bf's father. Were you a straight couple, would you still be hiding it and unable to face him? If his father is fine with his being gay, then you should treat the situation no differently! :slight_smile: (Now, if this is the first he's heard of his son being gay... extra good luck with that!)

    Aha apparently he's knew for years.
    And this just certified it.

    He's really cool about it.
    Really doesn't care.
    Like...seriously couldn't care less.

    Just said he hopes he doesn't have to deal with homophobes and then we cant do rudies while he's in the house.

    i prefer physical pain over embarresment and awkwardness, i dont know what its called but i have a phobia of it, thankfully nothing awkward cooncerning my sexuality has happened, besides the constant "are you gay" which i deny

    cha, so I hung out with this girl since like 5th grade and she falls madly in love with me. She invites me with her family who keep pushing me to go out with her. I come out to the girl after highschool. She tells her mom. Everytime I see her the tension is through the roof. Doesnt help when she invites me everywhere with her mom...and her boyfriend. I recently started declining but I saw her mom there again today and she was like "see your boyfriend doesnt hug me like Legnaj" She is in denial. we've never talked about it lol.

    Well, at least you know its coming, so you can brace yourself.
    You could be blindsided and those moments suck even worse.
