I wanted to respond to the advice you gave to Tried Not to Fall, the closeted gay guy who was in love with his straight roommate. You advised TNTF to tell his straight roommate how he felt. I am in the straight roommate’s shoes, Dan. I believe my roommate is gay and, judging by the many hints/jokes that slip from his mouth, he has some “special” feelings for me. I am not a homophobe in the violent sense; I do, however, feel very uncomfortable being hit on by other guys. As long as my roommate’s attempts to bed me remain in the realm of jokes, then we can both pretend he’s not gay and I can deal. If he makes the foolish mistake of coming on to me, however, it will definitely ruin our relationship.
If TNTF’s roommate is straight, then TNTF should respect his roommate’s...
