I have a big issue. Homecoming is going to be in a few weeks for one I don't know how to ask anyone. I know that it will be hard to ask anyone to the Homecoming dance considering that most of the male populace is straight. I have had a few crushes. My current one is a football player that's in my English 9 class. Even more of a problem though is that my parents have no clue that i'm gay. My entire family is going to be expecting me to ask a girl to the dance, I have no clue how i'm supposed to handle it. The better half of my family is conservative Christians. What am I going to do? If I manage to scrounge up the courage to ask a guy they will be wondering what girl I asked and keep asking me to introduce my girlfriend to them, which I will not have and will be difficult to avoid. The other way is that they will all keep telling me that I need to find a girl to ask to the dance or asking me why i didn't ask a girl to the dance. Both will end up leading to that subject and both will be hard to steer away from the subject or try to avoid period. I am not ready to tell my family or even ponder around that subject too much when they are around. As i said before they are mostly conservative Christians. I just need some help on how to approach this. I really do want to ask someone to the dance because I really do want to go and make it a special night. I need courage for that. Thankfully I have a Gay-Straight Alliance club at my school that I am actually a part of. But this topic is something I want to keep a little more anonymous until I know the people better. (We have only had one meeting so far.) Like I said, I really need some suggestions on what to do about this. :bang:
Aw hey man I saw your comment. Frankly I'd recommend just going with a group of your friends, thats a lot more acceptable but can still be fun I feel like that would be something so awkward and high profile that you might not want to try that yet. Also, are you in high school? Lol I know it's hard but I wouldnt want to attract a lot of unwanted attention, especially from your parents. I think I'm just going with a few friends that are girls and guys to homecoming instead of dealing with the pressure of asking a girl.
Are there any girls in your GSA who are in the same situation as you but needing a male date? Just an idea.
I have only been to one meeting, mainly because there has only been one meeting. But I am going to a meeting tomorrow I will see. ---------- Post added 23rd Sep 2014 at 07:13 PM ---------- Yes I am in highschool, thus the Homecoming dance. But yeah I was told y one of my friends (who was a girl) to ask my other friend (also a girl) to go just as friends. I don't know about that one, but my family expects me to ask a girl not go as a group. Thanks for the suggestion though. I might end up gong in a group of friends anyways. My dating life sucks.
