I'm thinking about asking a straight male friend of mine to be my beard or actual boyfriend since I don't want my mom or friends to know I'm queer just yet. The problem is that he doesn't know I'm queer and this might ruin our relationship. The other option is acctually dating him which I'd be fine with. We're both mutually attracted to each other and he has traits I'm defiantly looking for in a relationship. Then the question would be to tell him if I'm queer or not. And if I'd tell him I'm gender-queer or not. I think it'd be better to tell him so he knows but I don't want our friendship to die or even worse, to be awkward. My mom contantly bugs me about my relationships and she would defiantly approve of him. He has expressed interest in dating me and everyone (our parents, peers, siblings) constantly tell us we should date each other. So in short he'd be the perfect beard and possibly a perfect boyfriend. Your thoughts?
