It was great. You were obviously much more comfortable. Thanks for sharing about the GSA meeting. You probably won't meet your soul mate there as you say, but being part of it is another big step in being comfortable with who you are. <br />Having said that, you don't have to tell anyone you don't want to tell. And is not a sin to react as you did when put on the spot. As you well know, locker rooms are practically the root of all gossip. On the other hand, you might want to consider that participating in GSA is just another step in word getting around. So, to stretch an old metaphor, you are damned if you do and damned if you don't.<br />Keep the faith and do what you have to do! olderbutnosmarterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747763692197136080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095913441506295275.post-41549106336927328462013-01-21T21:46:41.036-05:002013-01-21T21:46:41.036-05:00I totally agree with your decision. You really do...I totally agree with your decision. You really don't know these people well enough yet, and I think your concern about the softball team is very legitimate. Don't beat yourself up over using good personal judgment in this situation.

Like you said, you have to feel it and there should be a good reason to share this highly personal news about yourself. Just because he's a teammate and not necessarily a close friend means he's more an acquaintance, so it may not be important that he know.fan of caseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095913441506295275.post-412810363502499132013-01-21T00:17:15.275-05:002013-01-21T00:17:15.275-05:00I honestly wouldn't feel too bad about this.

On the ride back, I decided to tell her, even though I wasn't all that close to her. She kind of downplayed my whole emotional struggle thing by telling me not to be dramatic, and then she said she wanted to throw me a coming out party! I told her that I was NOT ready at all to do that, and honestly if I didn't tell her she would have probably told all of our mutual friends. So I think there is still a time and place to say something this personal, until you are actually 100% comfortable with everything. Although you probably shouldn't have lied and said "waiting for the right girl" you could have just said "waiting for the right one" hahakenn-dohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17109214293471805167noreply@blogger.com
