Being In Love With Your Gay Best Friend

GBFs are great and all... but what happens if you're in love with them?

Being In Love With Your Gay Best Friend
Allyson Sargus

He is unlike any guy I have ever met. He not only accepts me for who I am, but has shaped me into the person I am. A single hug from him can make any worry of mine go away. He is loving and he is kind. The joy and laughter he has brought into my life exceeds all else. I can be my complete self around him and he reciprocates it back. We even have the same taste in pretty much everything... except men. There's only one issue; he's my best friend... oh and he's gay.

Most girls envy me for having such an amazing GBF (gay best friend), and don't get me wrong I love it, but sometimes it's harder than it seems. A wave of jealousy washes over me when I see him texting or hanging out with other girls that aren't me. I am mentally dating this boy and sometimes it feels as if he is cheating, even though I know that is not actually the case.

Surprisingly, a GBF is very similar to the stereotypes portrayed of them. He does indeed pick out my outfits, cuddles me when I'm sad, calls me beautiful when I'm insecure and ugly when he's being sassy. He supports me in every decision, unless it's eating that second plate of pasta, (jokingly of course). He is everything a girl could ever hope for in a guy.

So what exactly does this mean for me? Well first of all, I have the worst luck with men. Secondly, I am extremely fortunate to be friends with such a passionate boy who is there for me through everything. Call me crazy, but he truly is the best thing to ever come into my life and I wouldn't trade this relationship for the world.

To the boys in my future I have yet to meet; I am apologizing in advance. I am going to continue to kiss him on the cheek in pictures, change in front of him, and vent to him about you. If you ask me to choose between you and him, the answer will always be him. My GBF is the love of my life and that will never, ever change.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
