Why am I obsessed by Gay Man?????

lavendaroil · 21/01/2007 20:24

I am in a new job and my trainer is gay and we geton really well. At first we just had a laugh but now I wait for his texts and see how he replies to them. Like adding a kiss or not. I find I try to find reasons to contact him. I plan my time around his day and I have no idea why!!!! If I see him at work I am so pleased and miss him when not there!! I don't want to have an affair with him but why do I have this obsession? It seems to come before everything. I even said I could work late so we could go for pizza after work but he said not that day and I was gutted. I even call and ask questions just to spk to him!! I have lots of resepct for his position as he is so modest. I did get some attention at first but now it is less and I hate it when he doesn;t put a kiss on his texts.
I am a married woman with 2 kids, why the obsession with the gay man!!!!!!!!!

Various variations on "lavender" were used by a prolific troll...

MrsMills · 21/01/2007 20:33

Surely if you're a prolific poster you'll know exactly why.

SoupDragon · 21/01/2007 20:34

A prolific troll with a penchant for odd subjects!

SoupDragon · 21/01/2007 20:35

Not necessarily, MrsM, Lav's been gone a while now. This poster could easily be a new addict...

The lavendar was because the person I talk about loves it! Gosh, lets have a heated debate!! I am not new, been around for 6 years!!! Didn;t want my freind to see this!!
Genuinely need to know if I'm mad or obsessed or BOTH!!!

MrsMills · 21/01/2007 20:39

both

WanderingTrolley · 21/01/2007 20:39

You need to take up a new hobby, ditch the trainer.

What about shooting pheasants......?

It's easy to take the mick. I have been there for so many of you and yes this is a weird subject but very real and hence the disguise! It isn;t a hobby, it;s my job! He is there all the time and I would love him to be a really good friend, not wanting sex etccc, just him.

I think it's because gay men are often in many ways our ideal male companion - they combine the masculinity we desire, but are female in their orientation/empathy. And, they are 'safe'.

HappyDaddy · 21/01/2007 22:42

Gay man is safe. Yes he's a man, so you can fancy and admire his masculine traits but also know that nothing could ever happen.

KezzaG · 21/01/2007 23:03

Sounds like you have a platonic crush on him. If he makes you feel good about yourself, and you like his personality then you want him to like you. And as HD said, he is a man so you immediately have some underlying sexual thoughts, but he is a safe crush as he is gay.

BURNINGTHECANDLE · 21/01/2007 23:07

He's not camp then? Masculine traits?

potz · 22/01/2007 07:03

Thank you to those with a positive contribution to make!
Makes sense really doesn't it then!
Yes he would not appear to be gay and is not feminine, whilst his partner is.
I think I do crave attention from him as he is such a great guy and maybe I get a little of what I don;t get at home!
I had a gay friend yrs ago and we got on so well and knew nothing would ever happen but he gave me tons of attention, perhaps this is why I push for more but of course it does the opposite!
Hope this settles a bit soon and I can get on with the job!!
