First off, I've decided to no longer refer to myself as "closeted" or "in the closet" in anyway. That doesn't fit me at all. I decided to describe myself as a "private cross-dresser". On one hand, I no longer care who knows or finds out. But on the other hand, it's my personal thing, no one has to know. If I decide to share this part of myself with a few close friends, that's my decision.
Well anyway, I just arrived to the store where I work this morning, and was sitting on the dock with a couple of female employees, just hanging out before the work day. As, as some of you have seen my pictures know, I have very long hair for my age, and am often mistaken for a female at glance.
Well one of the male employees, a really good friend actually, came out onto the dock and said, "Hi ladies" with out really noting me. The thing is, as soon as he noticed me, he realized his mistake, and started laughing and singing "Dude looks like a Lady".
I know he wasn't doing this to mock me, we're really good friends, but as soon as he stopped singing he looks at me and asked "You like that, don't you?", meaning to me, I like being mistaken for a female.
I would have said yes if there weren't two other employees there, including a female I kinda have a crush on. He asked my again, smiling, as if he knew, but I didn't know what to say.
It was then the woman I kinda had a crush on, possibly noting my discomfort looked over at me and smiled the sweetest smile and said, "I think he looks very manly. I do."
I smiled and looked at her and said "thank you", and I meant it.
I don't know what the point of this story is except, being a cross-dresser who lives his day to day life as a straight male, yet at the same time, recently acknowledging "Caroline" and allowing her to come to the surface more often in my day to day life, it was nice to find out I was still attractive as a man.
