Johnny, Are You Queer?

Just another crazy dating story. I wish I was making this stuff up, but it’s 100% true. I lived it!

I was set up with “Dr. Love” through a mutual friend. She had gone to high school with him and I had met him a few times over the years. He had always seemed like a fun guy and he was getting ready to move back to the area after just graduating from medical school. He had also just broken up with his girlfriend of four years [red flag #1] and he told my friend that he was ready to start dating again.

So we were set up and hit it off right away. He was cute, tall, funny, a doctor, AND a good kisser! He’d also bought his own condo and at that time in my life I had never dated anyone who was such an adult. He was one of those “great on paper” guys. I thought it was all too good to be true.

Well…did I mention that there was a period of time when his group of friends thought he might be gay? I only mention that because of what happened next. We were out drinking one night [red flag #2-we drank A LOT] and somehow the conversation turned to gay bars. Dr. Love started telling me that when he was in medical school he and his friend went to a gay bar just to see what it was like. I’m thinking, “Do straight men do that?” But it gets worse. While they’re at the gay bar, Dr. L got up to use the bathroom. While he’s peeing at the urinal, a gay man came up behind him, spun him around, and told him he’d been wanting to kiss him all night! And what does Dr. L do? Punch him or perhaps tell him he’s not gay? NO! He started making out with him!!

I am dumbfounded (and drunk) by this point and I asked him why he made out with him. Dr. L replies, “I just wanted to know what it was like to kiss a guy. It’s the same as kissing a girl except he had a beard.” That is his actual quote because I am coping directly from the journal I kept back then. Yeah, I HAD to write that shit down immediately. I believe if anyone is keeping track, that would be red flag #3. And because I really, really liked him, I shrugged it off. Okay not really, I was very freaked out by it. I just didn’t say anything.

The straw that broke the camel’s back was my reaction to red flag #4. I honestly think this is why he broke up with me. I am a fairly liberal person, but even I have my boundaries. We were out drinking on another night (surprise) and we started talking about men who use hookers (didn’t we have the best topics of conversation?) Dr. L is trying a little too hard to convince me that it’s no big deal and all men have used one. I didn’t buy that bullshit so he proceeds to tell me about the time he and his then girlfriend went to Amsterdam. She was “very liberal” and bought him a blowjob from a hooker in the Red Light District. His girlfriend then SAT THERE AND WATCHED THE WHOLE THING! I freaked the fuck out. That shit may be cool in Amsterdam, but come on! We live in Cental IL for God’s sake! I’m sure he felt like an ass for telling me this. A week later he called and broke up with me.

He got married a couple years ago (to a woman, ha!) and I wonder if he ever told his wife about these things or did he learn his lesson and keep his mouth shut?
