I feel like I am in the studio audience of a daytime talk show.
A good friend of mine who I've known since college met a guy several months ago. And at first things seemed really great!
-They both love the Indians, the Cavs, and the Browns (who knows why?).
-He has a good job and makes good money as some kind of statistician
-He does not want kids (and neither does she!)
-He owns no pets (she is allergic)
-The dude has a reliable, sensible car and owns a condo
-This guy shares her liberal politics and her feminist views
-They both love to travel internationally
-He took her out on real dates
-He gradually introduced her to his friends (no stashing!) and his friends loved her and she thought his friends were great!
Anyway, I could go on.
But then when things got...uh...romantic... things did not apparently go...uh... romantic.
Turns out he is gay and in the closet. And now my friend might be having a breakdown of some kind...
What do I tell her? I mean, I did not even think men were still doing this!
I mean, I remember in graduate school down in Bama back in the late 2000s I saw a few couples still like this (oblivious woman and closeted gay man). But I thought: "This is the Heart of Dixie, maybe they did not broadcast Will & Grace down here..."
