So I find out last night that my artist coworker, the one I send all my funny drunk texts to, is gay. Well, he just found out himself within the last 6 months.

I feel like.. WHY.... i guess it makes sense that he loves my sense of humor.... i know a couple other gay friends who just love my sense of humor... my goofyness and off the wall comments.... sigh.

Has this happened to you?

NO... not lunchamigo. (I hope not.) This is my other coworker who I told that I had the hots for lunchamigo (l'amigo is hot... so smooth and yet watches family feud and can be a little goofy).... and afterwards he said he'd keep my secret but has been teasing me ever since.... it's all in fun though.

I got a ton of good gossip last night when I hung out with a couple coworkers (not lunchamigo)... apparently there has been a ton of office romances that I knew nothing about... and I said, how did i miss out on all of that....

But it seems that the ones that i get along with the best turn out to be gay. Go figure.

Oh Loony-- more than you would believe!!


From age 15 till I was about 25 I found myself falling for a lot of men I thought were straight. I was attracted to the way they seemed to relate to me, like

I don't know - can't remember liking a guy who turned out to be gay. But right now I seem to be just deleting and deleting on EH. Nixed ones with a beard, a boat captain who travels all the time and some wierdo into Kabballah. And another one who is looking for a subservient wife. None of them are gay - they are all just strange urchins - I guess I should post an amusing update!

>>Then I would wonder why, after say a year or so they never made a pass at me or anything, lol! I always found aout later-<<

I can relate to that, big time... over the years here at work... But it wasn't that I had a crush, just that i got along and laughed very well with someone... And would think, hmmm i wonder if he interested in becoming more than friends... i didn't make a pass, just maybe flirted a little... then would find out... like a year later... oh, he's gay.

But then they always turn into the best of friends.... someone I can really talk to and be honest with.... And get guy/dating advice, too.

And NO NOT LUNCHAMIGO... from all accounts he's NOT gay.. just maybe not interested in me. Give me a couple more parties, and i'm sure i'd totally make a fool out of myself... sigh... but for now it looks like we are still friends. He still comes in the office, we talk, make jokes, etc.
