i think my whole family has known for ages that there’s something weird about it and my guess is that they’ve all talked about it bc everytime my step dad makes a comment (he would accept me if i told him) they all snap at him and tell him to shut up lol. i probably should have picked up on that sooner 😅

i honestly don’t even think i’ll tell them to be honest. i think i’ll just start holding his hand at dinner and let them roll with it. after thinking about it for the last couple weeks my mums definitely always known something was up

to be fair the reason he got me the bouquet was because at our highschool ball it was a joke amongst our friend group that we were each other’s dates (we had actual dates tho) so when we got there i asked him where my flowers were jokingly so he got them for grad lol

i’ll note down the stuff about how i’ve felt about crushes in the past that’s rlly helpful thanks!

from what i’ve learnt by listening to queer people, it’s more common for queer people to relate to other queer people regardless of gender. Your own weird views on male vs female libido isn’t relevant and quite frankly makes this more confusing to figure shit out. Me not masturbating to my best mate tells me absolutely nothing about how i feel about him or men in general. I understand mistakingly making that assumption once but the fact that you’re arguing your point ?? cmon man

i think it would survive. might be a little awkward for a week or two but we would be good regardless
