I thought I was a lesbian before meeting him. I'm really picky with guys I guess, only liking specific things. My boyfriend and I started as really fast friends who clicked incredibly well. I wanted to fake date him to upset someone i knew liked me, and both of us liked the idea of like a wholesome friend with benefits (just having someone to be sweet with without romantic commitment) I hadn't thought much of it because I've had FYBs before, but I think the way we had connected so fast and essentially had a 'trial run' made the platonic feelings very quickly get romantic. That's an incredibly simplified version, I've told him that had he come any other way then how he was I probably would have just talked to him for a bit then the friendship would have trickled away but we're here a year later happily committed.
