This is the first I've seen this story. It shows me how different kids can be. I wouldn't think saying you're fond of someone would be a problem. Many years ago, I had a 14 y/o YF that I was also very fond of. In fact I loved him. I verbalized those feelings a few times to him. Although he never seemed comfortable saying the words, he often wrote me notes that ended with "love", then his name. I was also affectionate with him, but he only allowed that in private. If we would be out somewhere like the mall, and I would start to put my arm on his shoulder reflexively without thinking, he would duck away from it, lol. But if we were alone, he would allow me to hug him and he would hug back. Sometimes we would watch TV together, and he'd lean against me and I'd put both my arms around him. Then he would sometimes put his arms around my arms. Those are some very fond memories. On one hand, it wasn't a secret, but on the other hand we were only that affectionate in private. I never told him in words that I was a BLer, but I'm sure he knew. He didn't seem to have a problem with it. His mom was a different story though. When her son and I became very close, she began to have her suspicions. I really didn't want her to know what I was, but she began quizzing her son, and it eventually came out. She didn't really know how to deal with it. First she wanted me to stay away from him, then she changed her mind and thought I was good for him. Then she wanted to chaparone everything we did. It was never quite the same again. He's in his mid 20s now and I'm sorry to say I've lost all track of him. I sometimes wonder if it might have been different if I had been straight (no pun intended) with her from the start. But if I had been, I doubt she would have let us become so close. Dakota |
