[Closed] Mates gone over to the other side.

exactly the same as you normally say to him?

either that or you won't here the sound of his feet on your bridge

Jesus, I thought you were gonna tell me he's turned roadie

Could be worse he could grow a beard and have desires over Marins.

He's a mate gay or not, just cos he's now gay doesn't mean he's going to ask you out for a candlelit dinner.

Jesus, I thought you were gonna tell me he's turned roadie

LOL Me too!

Project - carry on as normal. He's still the same person isn't he? I'm struggling to see how you find it a quandry.

same as everyone else, it could be worse, he could be a roadie

Why do people send texts with such important information? What on earth did the text say? Seriously, the mind boggles. 😕

It is important to remember that your average homosexual man is no more likely to leap on people and arse-rape them than your average heterosexual man. There is no more need to be creeped out by him than you would be by a girl who didn't fancy you and who you didn't remotely fancy.

🙂

And your problem is caller?

I remember about 12 years ago a good friend came out to me, and my reaction was "...and?"

project got to ask if you have known this mate for a while surly you must had an idea in the back of your mind that he was gay or did it really come out of left field ethier way still the same person he was yesterday so talk to him the same way you did yesterday.

aP - yes I had a similar thing with a mate of mine from school and college. Some years later it came out that he was, while he wasnt about but a bunch of mates in the pub were. Someone said "Oh did you know, X came out yesterday" - which was a total shock, as he hadnt seemed "that way" etc. The response from all 4 of the rest of us was "oh, right" and the conversation went on as normal. Next time I saw him he was a lot happier looking, gladly, and I dont remember any of his mates thinking anything odd about it. Maybe he was just fortunate to have open minded mates, but its pretty damn common these days!

I do skit him about it a bit now (could be controversial, just like the royal situation at the moment) but I've known him long enough for him to return the insults and buy another beer with a grin.

You've got to ask yourself is it actually a shock that he is?

Even then so what he's been gay all the time you've known him, nowt's changed really

Take your own advice maybe? 😉 From the casual relationships thread a week or so ago...

Mr gibbons, perhaps your "freind" may be gay, or possibly haveing serious thoughts about his sexuality, if so, let him be, not everyone wants to come out of the so called closet, so he looks a normal lad, so what, if hes gay the women will flock to him , if hes straight , he needs to attract them, some men dont want women as girlfreinds , but as freinds, just because you and you male freinds all have giorlfreinds doesnt mean that he has to, just be his freind, not his social daying agency.

Is this really about your 'mate'? or are you thinking of coming out and using this to guage peoples reactions?

Are you afraid he will get aroused when he sees you in your lycra cycling shorts?

I think we have found an answer. Welcome "out" project.

just make sure you lock the back gate when you go to meet him

I'd assume some smart arse got hold of his phone. If not its an endless opportunity for cock gags.

brakes- no, actually, I can't be bothered.

Can't see what the issue is myself, but I suppose it might be a bit of a shock, if you've known someone for a while, and always assumed they were straight.

He is going to be so embarressed when he realises what predictive text did to his message saying 'I am icy'

Should have got yourself one of these 🙂

Seriously though, what difference does his sexuality make? My only beef would be that a "mate" didn't feel he/she could tell me face to face. That aside, it's a non-issue as far as I'm concerned.

Did it not dawn on you when you got a taste of poo from his willy?

A Mate is a mate, as long as he respects the fact that you're straight, it shouldn't change anything in the slightest.

deadly - that's just wrong!

Made me laugh tho 😆

He didn't go over, he was already there, he just didn't tell you. Makes no difference

At least you will have someone to go shopping with now...

Do you have any issues with his sexuality ?

He is a mate after all, what difference does it make ? 🙂

Give him a hug, he'll need it. Just make sure he's not firming up.

Then carry on as usual.

Yeah, you know that hug you give your hot auntie with your bum slightly stuck out in case she can feel the semi in your troosers!! One of those should do it...

Is he a giver or taker?

Now you know why his bike has no seat.

fancy a bum?

Hell be handy if you thump your tackle on the crossbar wont he, my mates would be bloody useless

Shouldn't make a jot of difference, one of my best mates came out when he was 19, had known him since 11 and we had dinner on Saturday @ 33

Nothing has changed

When you meet him, all you need to say is: "you is liking a cock up yo batty, right bro"? That's how street people talk to their gay friends.

Show him you're street. He'll respect you for it.

Please make sure you don't have dinner @69

I was cleaning my bike outside today, one of my neighbours came home and started talking to me about bikes, showed me his bike - imagine my disgust when I realised it was a Marin hardtail. I have started looking in the property section of the paper already.

What ever you do, don't say "Well blow me"

is this actually an issue to some people this century?

grumm,
bloke moved in over the road from me has one of those whyte PRST-N things

have to admit, I've come over a bit bike curious

Favourite ride - wimbledon common

Yeah junkyard it is, especially in afro-caribbean communities. Just listen to a buju banton record.

1986 called, it'd like its thread back please?

Scaredypants, if I were you I'd seek some therapy and quickly, one minute you're bike curious, the next you've grown a beard and bought a Marin/Whyte, and in a few months time, hell, you'll be buying a road bike!

If you know what's good for you you'll avoid your new neighbour, he's obviously bad news 😉

The 'friend' was never anything but 'out'. He's always be gay. You just stopped being ignorant to it! How does he feel now you have changed?

MrNutt has it about right, bloody hell...

😕

A mate who I used to play rugby with came out to us on the bus home from a game. Well you can imagine the banter from 20 odd pissed up blokes but when everyone met up for training the next tuesday night no one said a word (well we were a bit ashamed). A few games later he told us that a couple of the opposition were bag snatching (its as bad as it sounds) and giving him some nasty anti gay verbals. It was decided it was time for a team 999 call and a lot of accidental boots to the head and some late tackles later they got the message.

So the moral of the story is he's your mate stick with him he hasnt changed.

Christ as said be glad,
He could have bought a road bike...
Or moved to France...

I had a Facebook conversation with my sister's girlfriend about Angelina Jolie. How 2009 is that?

My daughter got a doll for Christmas that came with a furry tube for the doll to keep it's hands warm. My sister didn't know what it was. "Jo, it's a muff..." Homosexuality is a comedy goldmine.

I thought Facebook was sooo, like, totally OVER already??

I thought Facebook was sooo, like, totally OVER already??

My mum's on it, so it must be. (Yes, I Facebooked my mum.) Maybe my conversation was so very 2008?

don't be afraid, it's only proper gay sex if your balls touch

Facebook is officially 2008

"I Facebooked my mum"

5 years ago people whould have given you a very odd look for saying that sort of thing...

The next step will be the shaving of body hair............and we know what that leads to

5 years ago people whould have given you a very odd look for saying that sort of thing...

Yet "I Facebooked my sister's girlfriend" is sooooo last year 🙂

The OP has gone rather silent.

I facebook all my girlfriends mates, she doesnt seem to mind, in fact she watches and sometimes joins in!
