I suppose I should know proper attire. <br /><br />@C.J.: That's an interesting story about your friend. Part of writing this blog in the past is so I can make sense of things that didn't before.<br /><br />Sorry about the "date." My "favorite" line comes from one of my 16 year-old students who told me that "age is just a number."A Gay Mormon Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366029507118022319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056860424380980828.post-4353777248083903552010-01-26T13:13:47.903-08:002010-01-26T13:13:47.903-08:00Oh, absolutely!

When he finally did (he went to college out of the country, in the hopes that this would make it easier to come out, and it did), I wasn't surprised. He asked me, in all seriousness, "why didn't you tell me I was gay?"<br /><br />Fast forward a few years, and I went out on what turned out to be a pretty awful group date with a bunch of ward friends. The entire purpose of this date was to allow our friend to spend time with this guy she had a crush on. My "date" for the night--I was seeing Jim by this point, so it was platonic--made things especially uncomfortable. Halfway through a particularly bad round of mini-golf, he tried this line on me: "Jim's in Sweden, but I'm HERE!"C.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08086277404490573891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056860424380980828.post-60113995477621134712010-01-26T12:59:28.901-08:002010-01-26T12:59:28.901-08:00Ewww....racquetball in jeans!Ewww....racquetball in jeans!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
