that's what my dad said today while we were discussing me going overseas to teach again. I told him I wanted some adventure and how restless adn bored Im' getting living here in OKC. and he told me to find a girlfriend if I was bored. etc etc.
anyway. overall, mom is for it, dad is not completely for it, no one can argue about how good the money is, but dad is mainly concerned for my safety and health insurance and my house etc etc.
I think it's funny that my dad keeps bringing up the idea of me getting married or finding a girlfriend, I sort of assumed by now they've realized I'm not all the "intersted in girls". but I felt sort of bad since I love dad so much that if he seriously had no idea that I wasn't really interested in girls so much enough to find one and settle down with by now, I hate to cause him any worry. I did make the comment to dad about regardless of what life he thought I should have I'm living my life for me blah blah... overall it was a very cool headed discussion. my father is not touchy feely at all!! ha ha, so it throws him off a little when I reach out and put my hand on his should or grab his arm to get his attention. ha but I've learned in life to reach out regardless, my love language is gifts and touch. my dad's love language is looking after us and providing for us. so it's all good.
in other happening......my roomie. I cleaned up his room yesterday, did all his laundry off the floor, folded put away, put all the white socks without matches in a plastic bag in his bottom drawer, through away about 7 or 8 different water bottles or to go drink cups with lids, all full of his saliva from dipping. also changed and washed his sheets. You may ask what gave me the liberty to do all this, well I found one of my tightie muscle t's I keep in my dresser for special vacation trips on his FLOOR. So I figures, if the dude is going through my dresser looking for stuff to wear, then I'm going through all the crap on his floor and seeing what else I can find.
and I did find another blue j crew polo shirt that's mine and 2 pairs of my boxers.
and before anyone says its weird about my boxers, seriously this guy is just lazy enough that I can see him wearing a pair of mine instead of doing any of his laundry first. The main reason I started washing all his stuff was just to get some of my towells back into the bathrrom cupboard. he had used al lhis and started using mine, which of course he is welcome to share.
some guys want a new towell every shower, I'm the type of guy I can go a week or more the same towell , I jsut hang it up to dry....no big deal.
I did all my laundry and room and bed also this weekend btw, not just the roomies.
we watched a lot of "scrubs" dvds together this weekend, very funny stuff. I love the open affection for Turk that braff has on the show.
well, wish me luck, having lunch with the guy from locckhees maartin tomorrow. shoudl be intersting to see just what they want to offer.
shout out to procrastinating wolverine! I watched a bit of the game where Michigan won against penn state. damn those fans were damn good looking, something about them northern boys looking so hot and just a little less redneck than you see here in Oklahoma I was thinking briefly during the game. but I don't know, OSU and OU also won their games. SWEET

I tend to side with your dad... those are the exact things I'd be worried about. How did the meeting go today for that? Still interested?
If you were to come out, I'd hope it would be for you and not that you want to cause your dad any worry like you said in your post. It sounds like he would love you regardless, but not knowing much about him can't really say.
Just because your Dad made those "girlfriend" statements doesn't necessarily mean that he believes it.
You have got to be the kindest person and the best roommate ever! I do get the impression there is a certain tenderness and intimacy between you and roomie. Lazy or not, it seems odd that a straight guy would wear another guy's underwear. Clearly, he feels close and comfortable with you, because he has been busted before wearing your clothes.
Push the envelope a little Dan, if the guy will wear your underwear and let you wash his, then he will likely play, at least j/o with you. That pic you posted of him looked good!
What about roomie's love life, does he ever go out with girls? Does he ever talk about them? What is your feeling about his orientation?
I agree with anonymous — it's a little bizarre for a straight dude to wear another guy's underwear. I don't think any of my friends would do that... Well, no, I do remember a conversation in high school where this dude was talking about lending some underwear to a bud after swimming in the pool — "What was I suppose to do, make him freeball it!?" he defended as the class was laughing. huh...
But I also remember a trip I took with a bud where we stayed at my uncle's house. He was headed downstairs to do laundry and something fell out of his basket so I leaned down to get it for him, since he was trying to balance the basket already, and kinda freaked out: "I'll get it! It's my underwear..." HAHAHA. It was no big deal to me, but I backed off.
