So... where is he now?? Any chance for you of getting closer to him now? ;)

What are you afraid of? I'm seriously asking this, not just rhetorically.

Normally, people don't think anything of it when being asked for their name.

Just say: "oh, by the way, what's your name". Then tell him yours. And then continue with your conversation ;)

There's nothing wrong with that. And if you do feel the need to justify your question (which you shouldn't!), say something like: "I just like to know the names of nice people". Well, maybe not exactly that, but something similar.

Best of luck!

I've been thinking about it. But not sure the best way to drop it into a conversation.

Kind of made a fool of myself last time with James.

Perhaps I need to take up a sport that needs to use jockstrap or codpiece

But you can go in to look. At the sports items, I mean *LOL*

Pretend you're interested in picking up a sport like running or so, and ask for his advice. This way you can start a good conversation. And then ask him what sports he's interested in, let him talk a bit about it, and then ask if maybe he could show you... his sport, I mean *grin* This should bring about your first date with him ;)

"Very nice", I say too... ;)

I have added chapter 2! I hope you enjoy :)

Whoo! Interesting fantasy... :D I'm looking forward to its continuation *grin*

They will come. Cool. I would have settled for a 'he will come' but if there's more than one, bring them on!

Thanks for the comment :)

Good to have you back, Sweetie!

Even with James being gone (soon), you can still continue your blog and keep us, your trusted friends, up-to-date with what else is going on in your life. It's good to have a place to vent, you know. ;)

And yes, there will be other gorgeous men in your life. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not in a month, but they will come!

Of course there will be better and hotter ones. That will be interested, also.
You're an excellent writer, by the way! Very good blog all along.

Thanks for the comment. It only hurst becaue I like him so much. But I am lucky that he didnt run a mile or go and spread stories- that could have been difficult.
And next year, when he's gone..... perhaps someone hotter will come along.

Oh dear, been there, done that. It was so awfully frightening back then, and it hurt so much afterwards. Even when they stayed friendly. (Or when they ran back to their old girlfriends just out of fear.)
It will get better with time, though. That's maybe not much of a comfort now, but it will.

Thanks for the comment. I really want to grab it with both hands, but he tells me he doesnt swing that way. ;)

Well done for handling the situation so well. And I take my hat off to your friend who dealt with the whole so maturely - never forget that he knew you were gay and still actively sought to take you out. That makes him pretty cool, actually.

And something else you may have learnt - the cool straight men find it a big compliment to be fancied by a gay friend. Sure, they can attract the girls (and it sounds like your friend has already been doing that) but it's something special to realise that you're attractive to the same sex too. You did his ego no end of good.

I can't speak highly enough of this guy. Like Sapped, I can't think of a single guy who would've coped so well had the same thing happened in my sixth form class. He's a good spud, and you should be proud of the friendship you have with him. So there's no need to feel shame or embarrassment - you told the truth, he told the truth and neither of you ran out of the place screaming.

And now you know for sure. You have a good friend and long, long life ahead of you. Get out there and grab it with both hands.

...officially...?

Fingers crossed you find another wonderful guy :)

In response to:I want the ground to swallow me up

Tue, 29 May 2007 11:29:47 +0200

And now I know. And he will be going away soon, so I won't have him there all the time, oozing gorgeousness. I have told him I am going to miss him, I hope he will miss me a bit too.

So I am now officially

Thanks for the comment. I just felt really embarrassed by it. I know I shouldnt. Hopefully he will keep in touch when he goes to Uni (Scotland!)

And the dreams.... oh yes, the dreams :))

Tue, 29 May 2007 11:07:32 +0200

He sounds incredibly mature. I'm trying to think of any guys I knew at sixth form who would have responded to a guy fancying them by saying they were flattered, and being ok with it. Hopefully you'll have managed to make a really good friend out of this, even if you do still fancy the pants off him! You never know who's around the corner ;)

Why shouldn't you have said anything? You did the only right thing: you addressed the issue. Congrats on your bravery!

But now you know for sure he's "straight". And he has no problem with you being gay or being fancied by you - why are you having a problem with the evening then? I mean, apart from the obvious, that you two will not have a partnership.

No, don't beat yourself up over anything. It appears you two are still friends - and you can still dream about him... ;)

In response to:I mustn't get my hopes up...

Thu, 24 May 2007 06:47:47 +0200

You two finally have a date ?!?!?!?!?! Congratulations!!!

Yes, he may not be interested in you as a lover, for all you know he may not even be gay, but at least you get to spend some time with him alone and have the chance to get to know him better.

Enjoy your date!!! And if nothing else happens, try to savour every moment you had with him.

Good luck with that, you have waited long enough!

The sockpuppet wishes you lots of luck.

Why do I feel like I am in love with him. Because that's how I feel.

Bleurgh! :DD

Fri, 27 Apr 2007 21:34:50 +0200

That's a shame. There's no potion, I'm afraid. And you know that there are other men out there and that you are still young and that it is all out of perspective just at the moment - so I won't bore you by saying it all again.

He likes you enough to want to be your friend - which must mean that you're a nice guy and fun to be around, so take the compliment and rest assured that in the future your life will seem so much easier, especially if you're nice and fun to be with.

So - this one didn't work out. Never mind. Just believe me that one day soon this particular young man won't seem quite so important and you'll be glad that he has stayed in your life as a friend. One of many.

Fri, 27 Apr 2007 04:06:41 +0200

Sorry to hear that, darlin'!

There really isn't anything one could say to take away your disappointment. You already know there will be other men for you in the future etc., but that doesn't help at the moment.

For the time being, maybe you can find consolation in your dreams of James. Just don't withdraw but keep going out and meeting other guys. This will distract you a little from your current sadness.

I hope so too :)

The dream sounds a bit like your real life... hope James's real answer will be a different one, though!
