    So, today I decided to have 'the talk' with my dad..

    We started talking on general matters, when I told him I wanted to talk to him about something. I said "Look, you had me grown in such a way that I really don't think, I just act.Plus, I repsect everyone and I don't set limits and comfrontation even to myself. And that's why I think, and that's for me too, that if people have a special connection it can eventually turn to something more than a friendship, and it doesn't matter the other persone's sex or age!"

    The only answer I got from my dad was "Haha, look out for the age-thing"
    And then we had some laughs

    I think it helps that he is really openminded with other gay/bi/lesbian friends.
    Im so happy :icon_bigg

    Give it some time. You may want to give your mom some PFLAG material.

    Its good to see someone representing Greece. I'm half Greek. My family is from Volos.
