Need Advice

Are you having conversations with this guy at night or are you just going in there and admiring him from afar? I think asking him if his gay could be a good thing if you get the feeling that he looks forward to seeing you too. I think a person can usually tell if a person likes them back.

 

I understand your aprehension about revealing your orientation to people. From what I've heard, there is a bit of judgement towards bisexuality as it's either considered 'the easy way out' of admitting you're actually gay, or criticised for not knowing exactly what you want (which is a load of crap because you are simply attracted to both sexes, so you do know what you want).

I also get sick of 'hiding' my sexuality from others as I am afraid of how they will react. Sometimes I just want to tell everyone just to get it over and done with. But then I realise I would much prefer to tell people in my own time when I feel that the individuals are ready. I've been giving a few hints to some more of my friends, kind of letting them ponder on it. To me that method works better than just blurting it out because at least if they're questioning my sexuality, then it shouldn't come as such a big surprise when I do tell them.

I think it's great that your ex g/f is so supportive of you & your other friend is also ok with it. I think that you should take coming out at your own pace & only tell people when you want to, not because you feel you NEED to.

As for the guy that works near you, do you talk to each other when you're there? Does he serve on a register or something? I always strike up a conversation with checkout staff because I've done the same type of work before. Ask how his day has been, if he's had any nightmare customers come in, or even just mention stupid little things that customers do, like complain about the service speed, then pay in coins, etc. These segways often lead into good conversations, & youll have a chance to suss him out a bit more & let him notice you (if he hasn't already!)

Best of luck & keep us updated :icon_bigg

 

If ur gonna come out,do it at ur own pace.Some may not like it,but they'll accept you for who you are and they'll love you just the same,and you have the support of ur ex which is very helpful when your struggling with anything,escpecially coming out to people you think won't accept you.As for the guy.If you think he's gay and you talk to him when your there,I'd ask him if he had a g/f.Maybe he'lll just say that he's gay and then you can tell him the same about yourself and maybe it can lead to something!
I hope everything works out for you.You have our support that's for sure(*hug*)

 

The rainbow flag (pride flag) is largely associated with the gay comunity. I find it easier to possibly 'identify' people who wear pride colours, but of course, then again, you do encounter some straight people who just like bright colours. From what I've found on the net, it symbolises diversity in the gay community & each of the colours represents a different meaning.

RED = Life
ORANGE = Healing
YELLOW = Sun
GREEN = Nature
ROYAL BLUE = Harmony
VIOLET = Spirit

It's called the 'Rainbow Flag' because with red ontop, this is the pattern of colours that appear naturaly in a rainbow ride:

 

Well, Im glad that your ex is your supporter, that is pretty important because at least you have a wall to lean sometimes when needed

Now, coming out is something that requires tiem to people, and I understand that you want to stop the feeling of knowing nowhere to go. For comming out to the world and affraid that people wont accept you, just make sure that you are ready, because if you are not strong enough, whne you come out, it'll be really hard for you. So you have to be strong for that, and be proud of yourself, dont let nobody let you down. Remember that it's crazy life and anything could happen

If you like the guy and sure that he is gay, go for it, make a move, or you'll lose the cahnce and be sorry. But if he is not gay and dosent like taht it's ok, but im sure that you said he is gay so yeah, make a move

Good luck, alright, and it's good to have your ex next to you

 

Well, there are many misconceived notions of bisexuality. Far too often we make generalizations about other groups of people without first seeing the facts. I've seen it coming from straights, gays, bisexuals, and everyone in between. The truth is, as I'm sure you know, that bisexuality is a very valid orientation. The attraction is there for both sexes, and you don't have to pick one or the other. Yes, there are some people who criticize bisexuals for the above reasons, but I don't think they're in the majority (at least in the LGBT community), nor do I think that a little talk won't be enough to quell their uncertain misconceived notions.

As for your whole rainbow thing, as far as I'm concerned it applies to all branches of the LGBT community. BUT there is also a bisexual pride flag that features magenta, lavender, and blue stripes. Here's a quote from wikipedia:
