White lies...
Last night I was out with my colleagues! And typical of me, I can't seem to control my intake of drinks and after a while, the so called one limit rule I normally imposed on me turned into at the latest 1 am in the morning. So one can imagine how much alcohol was drunk! As the drinks flow through the night, the conversation topics became blurred and we were no longer talking work!
We were crossing into major personal areas that I usually try to avoid at all cost. Most conversational topics touched on me being single and why I'm not attached yet! Or the lack of me parading my harem... . I blamed it mostly at work - which is 80% true: I worked on average a 10-12 hours a day. The weekends are usually in recovery mode, if not I just can't be f#$&ed doing anything. Being in a new city doesn't help either considering I hardly know any people outside work....Ok, I'm not that bad looking but offcourse I do not have a body to die for (working on it) and I believe I've got some personality... (not bad for an accountant!)...so there will always be questions until I'm hitched! Colleagues: So Ian what's wrong with you? You have too high expectations!
Ian: Nah, the timing is just not right and I've been working on average 12 hours a day! Where do I find time to find myself a woman.
Colleagues: Look around you buddy! Check her out....stop being so fussy!
Ian: Hmmm.....she looks pretty interesting! No personality though....
Colleauges: Man...you gay or what? Stop being fussy....
Ian: No way I'm fussy mate. Trust me I've lowered my standards! The chick magnetism is no longer there! Just not feeling right now. Just imagine all the alcohol. It will be the beer talking. I'll loose the plot!
Colleauges: Don't be a loser! Just do it buddy.....
Ian: You guys want some more beer? I'll buy the next round.
I'm running out of excuses and ideas to cover up my single hood!

You need to accept the fact that you're gay to YOU first. I don't think you've done that yet.
Heck, I'll avoid going out with such colleagues at all cost. Unless of coz, you are saying that you need to socialise with them to stay "in tact" in the company, of coz, then you would need a continuous flow of excuses coming.
Being the grumpy ol' me, no one in the family (or extended family) dared ask me this questions frequently last time. When they ask, it's only a subtle hint -- which I will brush off quite diligently! And if acquaintances asked, I just brush them off by saying why should I sacrifice the whole forest just for ONE tree? Isn't it better that I have different women on different days rather than having the same one over and over again? Man! I get bored easily!
Rick - I thought I have accepted myself as Gay but when it comes to reality...I get stuck and revert to the oldself. I hide in my little cocoon and hope it all goes away. You're right here buddy!
Boy - Well, socializing is good but I need this to stay with the company! Not ideal but at my level, sometimes a little socializing will get things done in the office pretty fast. Ah....if only I can use this line! And provide evidence as well....then they will keep me alone! heheheh.
