So my question is, how much texting and pursuing is too much in trying to hang out with this woman? I'm really interested in her.ĭear Pretty Cool Dude: How about giving her 24 hours to catch her breath? Because she keeps saying yes, the signs are good so far. We did more texting on Tuesday night, which I initiated. I asked her to dinner on Monday, and she accepted.
The next day, we spent most of the day texting back and forth. And if she's smart, she'll thank you.ĭear Abby: I met this beautiful and awesome lady recently and slept with her that night. You will be doing her a favor to speak up. Then explain that at the school event, some of the other parents were staring, and not too kindly. Second, ask, "When you bought those shorts, did you get a look at yourself from the back?" If she says no, provide her with a mirror so she can look over her shoulder at herself. First, tell your friend when you are alone and can't be overheard, which will spare her unnecessary embarrassment. Am I wrong to just keep my mouth shut and mind my own business?ĭear Anonymous: Allow me to provide a couple of hints.
I guess if the situation were reversed, I'd want my best friend to give me a hint, but I'm not exactly sure how to do it. Some of the other parents in the bleachers were snickering. When she wore them to a school sporting event, my husband accused me of being a "bad friend" for not telling her that her rear view was getting the wrong kind of attention. Heck, there's a mirror on every wall, so she must have liked what she saw, and it's none of my business. Is it possible that they take after their mother?ĭear Abby: My best friend and I do everything together and I love her, so when she showed up at the gym in booty shorts, I didn't say a word, even though they don't flatter her one bit.
You are just not as comfortable in your skin as your sons and their "jock" friends are. Am I being a prude in thinking this is unusual or inappropriate?ĭear Stumped: I see nothing inappropriate about what your sons and their friends are doing. While I'm glad they are comfortable with their bodies and who they are, it still bothers me somewhat. It's like a big nude fest with them and their friends. When going out, they get naked in the bathroom, fixing their hair, shaving, brushing their teeth, etc.
Tony Romeo tends to overprice tours, example, quoted a day trip to Halong Bay, based on sit in tour with another company, at USD 120, however, such tours are only going at USD 38.They also "air dry" after showers by walking around in towels, sometimes watching TV or goofing off for hours while in their towels. Little is done to orientate you or to point out landmarks while you make your way on the messy tour with Tony Romeo. The so called secret places to eat that he introduces have already been featured on so many travel bloggers website with instructions on how to get there, example, Dinh cafe which served excellent egg coffee. Really bad experience with this so called local tour guide called Tony Romeo in Hanoi, whose real name should be Nguyen Dung!įirst, his tours are conducted in a very messy manner, you find yourself darting from place to place within the Old Quarters in a complete mess trying the food, which he does not explain. Hope this can be shared with others who might want to book Gay Hanoi Tours in Vietnam! Sharing this bad experience with a local tour guide called Tony Romeo in Hanoi!
Also, there have been various notable LGBTQ Vietnamese movies made, such as “Madam Phung's Last Journey” in 2014, “Finding Phong” in 2017, and the “My Best Gay Friends” YouTube series in 2013, which went viral:
For example, the former USA Ambassador to Vietnam, Ted Osius is openly gay and was not shy about posing with his husband and baby. We even have a growing gay scene in Saigon and Hanoi.Īlso, more visibility of successful LGBTQ persons in the media helps society see us as something normal and positive rather than as something wrong or an illness. Today, of course, all that has changed, especially with the advent of Grindr and all the other gay dating apps over the past decade. At best, gay guys would seek each other out via well-known cruising spots or by friends of friends.
Back in those days, the Internet as we know it today simply didn't exist and there were no queer hangouts around. It was quite hard when I was younger because traditional Catholic Vietnamese society was not always so open and supportive toward gays.
“you better clean up your room if you wanna find a good husband!!” What's it like growing up gay in Vietnam? She's always been accepting of me being gay and we always make jokes about finding husbands. For example, she now worries about me growing old alone without anyone to care for me in my old age. I think my mother, her main concern is my safety well-being and most of all my happiness in life.
