This is a question Faking it

Rakky writes, "We've all done it. From qualifications to orgasms, everyone likes to play 'let's pretend' once in a while."

So when have you faked it? Did you get away with it? Or were your mendacious ways exposed?

long time fake...
I have recently come to terms with the fact that I am a massive queer (not massive really, just a little podgy and rather shy about the whole thing)
Which has left me faking being straight to the majority of people I know for now for as many reasons as I feel I need to invent, however this isn’t the point.

While it was coming to terms with the semi-decision slash realization. I had to do some soul seeking, resulting in thinking about quite a few things, mostly things in my past due to my lack of precognitive ability.

Now even though I have always had my doubts about myself, and often beat myself emotionally up over these doubts, or just ignored them as most functioning members of society will, I never allowed them to surface for more than a few minutes at a time.

To achieve this masterful level of fakery I threw myself headfirst into relationships, amusingly (and possibly predictably) most of the girls were manly than I was,as i was constantly reminded by my friends whenever the girlfriend of the time wasn’t around, and i would happily agree with them

one of the aforementioned girlfriends once complained to me that all of her ex's became gay after dating her, maybe shes to blame.

I would engage in sexual activities with each girl, and I can honestly say that I have faked so I could stop as it did little for me, or more often then not just gave up once they felt they’d had their fill (or lack of). However these unfulfilling acts were enough to convince myself that I was a red blooded male and nothing less.

I would avoid looking at the cute guy over there, and even though I thought he was cute, I maintained that as long as I don’t see him, it doesn’t exist, ignorance is bliss.

Now it just amuses me how I managed to gloss over the cracks and lie to myself, even more amusing to me is how people gloss over the things they don’t care for or want to see, which has made faking being straight a walk in the park as regardless of how careless I get when I’m sloshed

for example kissing another guy in front of the majority of my friends at a club. Not a single one noticed (i am just a little proud of this daring feat given that being out isnt what i want just yet).

Where I was going with this I don’t know, however I can conclude faking is far too easy as we make it easy for ourselves.

Apologies for length, rambling, poor writing skill and being new

That was a very good first time out
The writing wasn't bad, it was interesting, and even have a first time poem! (But then I've always been partial to pop-goes-the-weasel.

I guess I could say something about your post though: You'll come out when you are good and ready. I still remember when one of my best friends of the last 20 years came out. The general consensus was, "yeeeaaaaah, we already know." HIs response was "Then why the hell didn't you tell me when I was a teenager?"

Good luck to you!

Coming out
When I decided to tell the world I was gay, they already knew. Now, after decades, I realise that it doesn't matter in the least.

Just be yourself. That's all that matters.

I've worked with a guy for 10 years
who clearly paraded on the 6th of July. We all know he's gay, but it's his business whether we want's to shove it in our faces or not.

I'd be thinking your friends are of the same opinion.

Get out there and get some cock while your still young.
They won't want you when your old : )

This is turning into the coming out thread isn't it?
Coming out was the very best thing I've ever done in terms of my self-esteem and happiness. For me, that one secret was a dam holding back so much about myself that my friends and family weren't able to see, and after it was gone I was able to be a lot closer to them.

Nobody's saying that you should come out; some people like to keep their private life private, after all. But if the need to be open is there, gnawing at you, I wish you the best of luck satisfying it when you're good and ready.

Have Hallmark capitalised on this yet? "Congratulations on your coming out" cards?
