(#2) I’ve always been bi. Okay, fair enough he said. Then: how do you know that you’re bi? I looked at him for a while before the penny dropped and I asked him back: are you unsure? He went on the defense and started saying stuff like: No, no, no I’m totally straight, very much so. And I was like, yeah, sure you are sweetie but I left it at that for the moment. A couple of weeks later he came and asked me if he could buy me lunch and we could talk. I said yes, and when we sat there he said:

He realized panromantic ace fit him perfectly and he looked so damn happy about it I just wanted to hug him. So I did. And that’s the story of how I helped a confused 30 y/o man with his sexuality and got myself a boyfriend in the process.
