The other day i had an interesting experience.

I was sitting in my college math class, taking lecture notes when the boy behind me started talking to me. Normally i take notes on my computer (so does he) because it makes it easier to write things down faster. He noticed i was also surfing the net. He asked if i had Instant Messenger. I hesitated for a while because at the time, it just seemed like a weird question to ask. After i thought about it, i decided to exchange screen names with him and we started talking through IM.

I was a little excited, i admit. See, he is gorgeous in my eyes. Tall, skinny body, long straight hair he likes to play with, pale skin, and best of a all, a nerd. His face is perfect. Can't forget his smile, too. He is always talking to the people around him and he seems very friendly. I occasionally turn around so that i can see him.

Anyways, after a while of talking through IM, he asked if i was on Facebook (networking site) because he couldn't find me on it. This is when i knew i had to break the news. I'm not in the closet so in my profile i talk/post about my life style very openly. Despite everything, i was afraid to tell him i was gay. Mainly because i didn't want him not talking to me. However, i knew i had to mention something because he kept on insisting. I waited a little longer until finally i told him.

"Hey listen, if you want to add me, you will have to be comfortable with gay people because that is all you will see in my profile".

I felt my heart beating a little fast just before i hit sent. But there was no turning back now. I hit sent and waited for a reply.

He said. "Wait, are you saying you are gay?".

I replied. "Yes i am. I understand some people might not be comfortable with it, so i won't add you if you don't like".

There was a short pause and something amazing happened. He said that the fact i was gay was so awesome. He was one of the most open minded person i would ever meet and that for the record, he was straight. I always wondered why do straight guys feel the need to throw that out in the open. Is not like i'm going to molest him (secretly i do hahah). He continued asking me questions and he had no idea i was gay, but was cool about it.

I wish he was at least curious. At least, now he knows about me. Something like this has never happened to me before. I've told people, but never experienced a reaction like his. I was surprised i actually felt scared to him. I elt good after i did though. I can't wait to see him in class.



You don't love someone because they are beautiful, they are beautiful because you love them.
