I really believe the girl knew and heard rumors about the guy’s sexuality way before he started courting her. But if the girl was blinded by his cute smiles, his sweet lines and his handsome face, chances are she took the risk hoping that she can change him.

Around 10 years ago, I met a guy who I thought was a “real” guy. He acted sweet, he looked and smelled nice and I really thought that he was into to me. Then one incident happened, we played volleyball.

They say you will see the real character of a person when he or she is pressured. And I saw his real character while playing. Hints of him being gay or “bakla” came flooding to me already. But I stopped myself from thinking that. Sabi ko pa nga “Marami naman tunay na lalaki na magaling mag-volleyball ha”! I remember telling my HS friend about this and I even told her that maybe he needs me para maging tunay na lalaki sha.

He still continued being sweet and nice. We were holding hands na pero hindi kame. He will bring my stuff and he will bring me home and he even introduced me to his mom.

I started to fall for him even though I know at the back of my mind that there was something wrong because he never said he wanted me as a girlfriend. But even if I knew and there were obvious hints that he was bakla, I still liked him and if that moment he said he loved and he liked me, I will instantly say yes and be his girlfriend.

I really think that this was what the girl was thinking when she entertained the guy. She didn’t care about what others said and I think she also didn’t care of some stuff she saw. I bet you she even thought that she can change him. But it didn’t work out.

I feel sad for her. But at least she now know that people cannot change. It’s a lesson learned on her side. For the guy, shame on you for leading her on! If you are not gay why not tell everybody the reason why you 2 broke up. Why not tell people that they grew apart and the he doesn’t love her just like before. That’s so easy! But since he’s hiding his sexuality, it became hard.
