So I've tried to create a little history between me and Ant from Walgreens. I happened to drop by one evening about a month ago and he was working. Since there was no one else in line, we struck up a conversation and I learned alot about him.
He's been living here for quite some time and is currently a 5th year senior at UK majoring in marketing, which he actually has no intention of using. He wants to eventually move out of Lexington as there are no black folks here and I can't say that I blame him.
A couple points of interest: he did ask me what church home I went to, which can mean a coulple different things. Either he's very religious, which just makes me tired thinking of all the work I'd have to do on him to get him up to snuff, or he's testing me to see which camp I sit in. Or he could've been trying t0 gauge my thoughts on homosexuality for as every black gay person can attest, the black church is our biggest enemy.
I saw him again today after quite a few weeks of not seeing him. I wanted to talk with him more but I was kinda in a rush, in that I left the garage door to my house open since I didn't expect to be gone very long. I had to go buy some test center snackage for tomorrow.
Now I'm sitting here trying to figure out if I should just come out and ask him if he's gay; this is mainly so that I can quit pining over him if he's not or expedite the sitch if he is. The bad part is, he might be turned off by the whole thing and actively gay-"bash" me...not that he even truly knows who I am. I not afraid of blatant retaliation (cuz I don't know anyone up here and no one really knows me,) I just don't feel like making things difficult..Something just occurred to me; I think I'll just give him a call and tell him to visit the website; that way he'll know who I am and he can choose to act or not act from there...
Let me give it some further thought and I might just be giving him a call...
