I came out to a guy that I talk with online through an internet game today. I'm a hopeless flirt with straight guy friends, and he is no exception. I've never met him before (one of those internet things) and I know he's 100% straight, but it's always fun to make cute little passes at him to see what he'll do. He always plays along. And then today he sent me a private message: S: so... Me: ? S: you just play at being gay or are you actually gay? Me: I am Ask Din (a mutual friend who's also gay) S: hehe S: more power to ya It was short, sweet, and without any drama whatsoever. I wish all coming outs were like that. Seconds later we were back to talking about normal stuff and it hasn't phased him at all. Sometimes I just wish people would shrug it off just like that. Anyway.. just felt like sharing. :lol:
Glad to hear it. What game was it that you were playing? I've thought about coming out to a group of guys that I've been playing DotA with for the past... 5-6 years? But, I don't really think my sexuality matters to people I'll never meet and that I really don't know that well (on a personal level). Besides, lots of people online are homophobic, especially in the video game world. Congratulations on him accepting it without any second thought. I wonder if your little flirty things are making him uncomfortable though?
I doubt it. He sent a global message of 'night lover' directed toward me before he left followed by a wink. I think it's safe to say he doesn't really care. As for the game, it's a MUD (Multi-User Dungeon), which is an old-school text-based game, called Ivalice. Based on Final Fantasy.
I love those. I am totally out and very flirty in the game I play too. People freak out sometimes XD Congrats!!
