I've just been browsing on Facebook and I came across a funny little anecdote by a guy in my Creative Writing group a couple of terms ago. In a nutshell, the following conversation revealed he was gay, and now I'm wondering if the poke he sent me a month back was as a result of this, i.e. him wanting to get to know another gay person.
The irony is I'm not really that interested in him, or paid loads of attention to him while he was in my class, but now that I know this, and had a look at his Facebook profile/interests, I'm wondering what would have happened if I'd known sooner. Would it be something I'd have tried to pursue? Heck, would it even be worth pursuing? Am I just gravitating towards him because he was one of a small pool of gay people?
What I hate about being gay (and I think I've mentioned this before) is that you have the assumption that the person you're interested in isn't interested in you by virtue of their sexuality. It just makes things so complicated. I have no idea how I'm going to meet someone after I graduate.
