Damn it happened to me again! (rant)
Broke up with a "girlfriend" last Saturday, but she never knew I wanted to be romantic/sexual with her. We were just friends she thought. Can never say "I am gay!" Such a sweet woman, kind, religious, selfless. Feel like a complete jerk breaking with her. But she's a single mom and I do not like children plus she is so straight! I loved hugging her, but it pained me to think it would not go any farther.
This happens all the time with me. "Friends" with a woman just to be close to her. Does this happen to any of you?

7. I think thats probably universal, irregardless of gender preference.
Its a form of unrequited love.

8. Yeah, but it difficult for me to bring it up. If I was a guy and
she still being a woman, it would be "natural" for it to be brought up as a possibility, but two women together, gosh we're only friends! :cry:

16. You are?
Male or female?

Just wonderin', that's all.

Sorry about the "just friends" - I know how much that can hurt. (I've been there dozens of times).

:hug: <--that's a hug with no sexual overtones, for you, from me. :)

20. nope, doesn't matter at all.

15. What's your point?
I don't understand. OK, you are gay, but you wish to perceive yourself as a studly "woman's man"?

Don't you think it was kind of cruel to lead her on?

19. Well, this is too complicated for me
While I feel badly for your pain I cannot help but think that you would have a lot less pain if you were honest.

23. I believe this happens to a lot of people,
regardless of whether it's "same gender" or not.

Human beings are complicated things, and communications are rarely clear between two of them.

Don't give up. Life will work out for you eventually.

OK?

I think you were responding to someone else's post.

I'm on your side.
