How to Cope When You Don't Feel Quite 'Gay Enough'
For years, something wasn't quite right. I was dating guys, a lot of guys actually, having serious relationships with them, one night stands (sorry mum) and just about everything in between, but it never really fit. I envied my straight, female friends who could feel truly attracted to a guy. In a room at a party, they could genuinely pick a boy they liked the look of above all the others. For me, every man invoked the same reaction which led to many confusing moments; Am I in love with everyone I know or no-one at all? No matter how hard I tried I just couldn't seem to look at a man and think holy damn I wanna tap that. No surprises, it's because I didn't want to.
