    Tonight has been a good night :eusa_danc

    Another work dinner with our team including my bosses. As the youngest in the team, I have the pleasure of being teased about a girlfriend (don't worry, it's in an endearing way, nothing malicious). "So what's the name of your girlfriend?" "There's a couple of girls over there your age, what the hell are you doing here?!"

    After my dishing out my usual non-answers my two bosses started whispering to each other and then look expectantly at me.

    "Are you gay? It's okay if that's the case."

    "Would you be surprised if I said yes?"

    "Well it just means now that instead of constantly asking you about a girl, it'll have to be about a boy" :badgrin:

    I feel so good to finally to be open with them. I had no reason to believe they'd react any other way, but I had so much trouble just thinking of saying it straight up. I'm glad they asked. And I feel so free :icon_bigg :icon_bigg
