Work friends/colleagues saw me kissing a man in a gay bar. I’m scared of being outed and don’t know what to do.
I’m in a really awkward situation and could do with some advice. 37M and amicably split up with my long term girlfriend last year.
I’m bisexual and very much in the closet but took the risk of going out to a local gay bar last weekend as I am on leave from work this week. To cut a long story, I met a guy and we ended up making out. We were making plans to go back to my flat to have sex, when one of my gay work colleagues came in to the bar with a bunch of other colleagues (mainly younger straight women), some of whom I supervise. I pretty much completely panicked and ran out of the place.
Fortunately the guy was really understanding and we met up for sex later in the week, but I have no idea what to do when I go back to work on Monday. I wasn’t ready to be outed like this and don’t know if I should broach the subject or just act like nothing happened. I’m not ashamed of my sexuality but just needed a bit more time to process it myself and work my way up to coming out to people.
Does anyone have any advice? Thanks
