He was a well known and respected member of the community. He was trying to console and advise me and I think he may have recognized the potential that similar orientation. I was having trouble in community college and was upset by it.
He must have felt I was needy, or maybe the most submissive of us all. I have pictures from then, and I am surprised at how handsome I was, a lady friend of my mother called me pretty.
He was more attentive to and supportive of me, I wasn't sure why, but I was pleased. He was smart, funny and a confirmed bachelor and was friends with us all. I lived with my mother and siblings, and we had many friends including a neighbor who would stop by the house often, for coffee, dinner and other family events. I was 18 when I had my first gay experience.
