Attached is the previous story in this little saga.

Possible last not because we aren’t talking anymore, but because he may actually be straight.

Last weekend we went to see a movie again and discussed a possible day trip to another town. The vibe definitely feels more comfortable and relaxed and he opens up to me more. At work we keep things professional and most coworkers don’t even know we talk or hang out outside of work, but when he sees me walking by, he will now stop and wait for me if I am walking towards him and we’ll stand and chat for a bit.

Anyway, we saw a movie that I honestly thought was incredibly boring. The ads made it look more interesting and after the movie we walked around a bit, hung out and just chatted. We discussed our previous idea of taking a day trip and he said that he isn’t so sure these days because his commute tires him more lately and wants to make his Saturdays as lazy as possible. I was a little bummed that he was backing out but I didn’t wanna force anything.

We talked some more and he brought up that he doesn’t have many friends because he is single and our coworkers are married or have kids and he doesn’t want to bother them in their free time. Etc etc and then he asked if I also hang out with this one girl who sits next to me after work too and I told him that i’ve mentioned it to her because we are good friends but that we don’t really hang out much outside of work.

I tried to get on the topic of if he might be straight or gay but when I was about to ask he would change subject to something else. At one point I heard him nervously asking me “do you have a person you…” while a car was driving past us but then he stopped and when I asked him to repeat the question he said he wasn’t asking me anything. Something in those interactions began giving me the feeling that he may be straight. Either way he is a good friend, we’ve definitely developed a new level of comfort with each other and at the very least I know he is an LGBTQ ally.

I do wanna surprise him with something for his bday in September. I have learned some of his likes
