He dated me, but he was secretly gay!

Dear Advice Girl,

I went out with this guy for a year and a half. We've been broken up for a while, but we’re still friends.

The other day he admitted to me he was gay. Does that mean I was just an act to cover his insecurities? Should I be angry with him? Does it mean he never loved me?

Signed,

Dear Guitara,

First of all, quit being so self-centered, okay? Coming out to a friend - any friend - is hard to do. It's not all about your feelings here.

Second of all, relax. Just 'cause he's gay doesn't mean he knew it for sure when you guys were dating. Even if he did, he was still totally capable of having feelings for you. If his love felt genuine at the time, it probably was.

Feeling better about it? Now get out there and be his friend. He's gonna face a lot of bullies out there - don't be one of them.
