So... yeah. Met this guy at the Halloween party at work on Friday, he asked me out, we went out today. He really opened up to me, telling me stuff that most people don't know about him, and things that would usually deter someone from dating him. And in the end, I ended up opening up and telling him that I'm trans*. We kept bringing up the subject of baggage, and he had mentioned that he was pro-LGBT, so I told him. Aaaaand... honestly, he took it better than I did. :roflmao: I literally almost threw up from the anxiety (actually had to run to the bathroom because the nausea was so bad), and he was totally fine with it. And still wants to date me. Anyway, really really weird.
Is this a guy who identifies as straight, if he's 'pro-LGBT' (as opposed to just.. being LGBT)? I think you're very brave to come out like that, and I'm really glad it didn't put him off, but I will warn you, if he's all 'but nope I'm STRAIGHT!' that can really suck. I hope he's not like that though.
He does identify as straight, but he asked me out again, even knowing that I see myself as a guy. So, a little confusing, but it was only a first date. I don't get emotionally attached very easily.
Might as well run with it for now then. I really do hope it works out after you were bold enough to pull that off.
Woah, you have more guts then me! If you read my story, I'm a bloody coward! Lol, still if he has an issue with you calling yourself a guy, you can always break off and eat his fingers one by one... wait what? I DID NOTHING!
Lol thanks. I'm sure you're not a bloody coward. -goes to find your story- Haha, I don't know if breaking off and eating his fingers is the best idea... We'll see, though. This is all very very new to me. I'm not good with all this relationship-y stuff. And the trans* stuff makes it even more complicated for a first attempt at this.
Thanks. It's been an interesting experience so far. Very educational, for both of us, I think. I have no clue what I'm doing with relationship-y type stuff, so I'm not used to having someone want to text me all the time. And he's still learning on the trans* stuff. He's told me that he fully accepts it, but he doesn't fully understand it yet. So I'm trying to be patient and help him understand it better.
Thanks for the help. And yes, I'm doing my best to be patient. Doing much better at it than I expected so far, actually.
