You were far younger than I was when I began to realize I liked guys as well as girls. I was about maybe 18 or so when it began to slowly dawn on me I was attracted to men too even though lot of the signs were already there.
Okay, here we go. As a teenager I was super homophobic due to surroundings/views etc. I once saw a very feminine gay man wearing makeup and checked him out and ended up psyching myself out so much, that I thought I was gay. After overthinking it a hundred thousand times, I set up a meeting and found out I was wholly un gay. It was a horrible awkward encounter that we can both laugh about now I hope!
I was very confused at that time. When I was 15 I was sleeping with my friends mom I'm still proud of that my friend was not very happy when she found out however.
Wish I had been so bold. I still have trouble connecting with other guys on a sexual and romantic level, especially since the first guy I ever liked who I thought was my friend kicked me aside.
That sounds exciting. I'm happy for your upcoming opportunities and to see you around the city after I have been absent for years.
