I seriously hate to label myself but this is driving me crazy.
She was late to lab and I felt disappointed, without realizing I was holding my breath waiting for her to come through the doors. When I figured she wasnât coming I felt an odd sense of dissatisfaction.
When she eventually arrived only 5 minutes late I couldnât even look at her, but my heart was pounding so fast I felt out of breath.
Feeling my heart race like that made me frustrated with myself. I was really hoping that maybe I misunderstood my feelings for her, but it was clear that I was right the first time around.
Normally all 4 of us walk out together but today it ended up just being us.. we decided to walk together to our cars which we never do. Although we got to hers first it felt like she was looking for an excuse to linger. She offered to drive me to my car even though it was only 4 spots away.. and I said ok.
She wants to see me again Sunday.. she gave me a ducky with a book because I noticed it in her car and I liked it. She said it could be my librarian and sit with my books. If I could I probably would be blushing. The plans were at first quick and kind of simple but she quickly built on it before I could walk away. Adding on lunch and shopping at a bookstore. She joked about buying books for me so it wouldnât be my fault if I saw something I wanted.. I usually step into a more caring role with my friends even money wise I tend to cover things and get gifts.
The second I turned around to get in my car I couldnât stop smiling and giggling. Iâd be beet red if I were pale.
When I see gay men and women in my day to day life I feel a sort of jealousy. I know the world is opening up and becoming more accepting than it once was but it will never be for me.
I canât have these feelings and the fact that I do is driving me crazy. Iâm a Christian and so is my family. All of my friends would be so disappointed in me if they found out. I donât even know what my family would think. Iâm sure my church would still accept me but Iâm also sure any homosexuality would not be.
I know my God still loves me but I also know that this kind of love is not permissible. Iâm so torn. When she insisted on plans this Sunday I wanted to call it a date, but she doesnât even know I feel this way. I wonder if she knew I had feelings like this towards women would she still be my friend? Am I misreading her? Itâs so hard to know if Iâm picking up on signs or Iâm just hoping she means something she doesnât.
Iâve accepted that these feeling will die with me but Iâm still going Sunday. I might even dress up. Sheâs seen me both very fem and extremely masc, but sheâs never commented on it.
I wore my reading glasses today for review and when she commented on them I swear I couldâve started a fire with the heat coming off my face.
Maybe Iâll wear them more often.. I want her to look at me and think Iâm cute.
