I'm afraid that I've got myself into the same awkward situation again. I had a wonderful night and outed to one of my friends after months of preparation work. We met some nice friends of friends and had pleasant talk and drink. But I started to get worried when the next morning one boy started to text me, asking me out for a walk. It had happened several times in the past, and I don't know why. I keep my gayness relatively visible to avoid misunderstanding and yet mistake happens, and the sad thing is I keep loosing friends over it. I used to be good at making friends with boys than with girls. Now I still find it easier to get along with boys and they like me until, well of course, finding out that my interest in girls. My childhood playmates took me as one of them, one of the boys, even the leader in the group, can't they do the same? It is a frustrating thing to find all the amazing qualities about a person and then just because I'll never take them as lovers that we stop being friends. Things appear simple but can be complicated: I don't want to hide, I don't want to be impolite, I don't want to mislead, and I don't want to loose a friend.
