I'm not really a doctor.
A little over two months ago, a guy started flirting with me on Growlr (Gridr for bear and fat guys), I shall henceforth refer to him as X. I flirted back. He told me he's in a long-term relationship that over the last year or so has turned "platonic," to use his terminology. His boyfriend, whom he calls his "roommate," has been hooking up with other guys and refuses to discuss the situation with X. X isn't happy with the situation and turned to Growlr, not necessarily to hook up with anyone, but just for the attention he'd been lacking from his "roommate." I asked him why he doesn't just break up with the "roommate" and he informed me that he still loves him and likes the companionship. He had no intention of dating me when we started talking. However, we really hit it off. Over the next few weeks, our text conversations got more intense and eventually, we were able to meet. We met at Starbucks and despite having innocent intentions, I ended up giving him a handjob in his car. Since then, we've been meeting at least weekly. Before we even met, I expressed my concerns over the "roommate" situation. I had no interest in being anyone's mistress or friend with benefits. I'm looking for something serious. I also expressed concern that, even if I agreed to be those things, I couldn't guarantee that I could keep my emotions in check and stop myself from falling in love. He shared my concerns. We agreed to just see how things went. Well, things have gone very well. I am falling in love with him. He seems to really care about me, as well. I really want a future with him. I'm concerned about the possibilities of that happening.
But wait...there's another layer of complication to this story. X really doesn't discuss his "roommate" much. I didn't even know his name. Last week, when I went to their house to meet him, he texted me and and told me he was in the shower and to just come in a wait for him. I did so and upon entering, I saw some mail on their counter. I was curious to know the guy's name and looked at the addressee. After seeing the title of Rev. before the name, I was shocked to say the least. After I went home that night, I did a little Googling. It turns out that X's "roommate" is a reverend for a local Baptist mega-church, which explains why X is so mum about him. So...some innocent flirting on my iPhone has led me into the middle of a gay church scandal.
So...what have I gotten myself into? I wonder if anyone can top the craziness of this story.
