    Wish me luck everybody.

    I'm going to The LGBT centre later for a meeting on mental health and I'll be coming out to people in there. They'll all be strangers and I'm going on my own. This is gonna be one of the scariest days of my life lol

    Good and bad.

    On a positive note I relaxed enough while I was there and spoke to everyone. I actually instigated alot of the conversation. Unfortunately there was some 35 year old guy there that took a blatant interest in me. He asked me what type I liked and said I didn't have one. We swapped numbers but I did make it clear that was looking for anything like that but he persisted.

    I'm actually interested in straight acting black men and should have told him. So I sent a nice message this morning clearly stating that I wasn't interested but thanking him for his interested. I said I just wanted be friends. We spoke over the phone and I thought it was all sorted.

    But I now I've told him I'm trans and wants me to send a picture of me in women's underwear.

    I don't know what to do. I'm not gonna send it cuz I feel uncomfortable

    Ok that sounds like harrassment and a reason to block his ass. If you'd rather, tell him that request makes you uncomfortable and he needs to stop that- if he doesn't comply then block him. You've already stated you weren't interested yet he persists, which is disrespectful of your boundaries.

    Thanks. I thought I'd not made it clear enough before now. But I have now. And the worst thing....He's an advocate for mental health.

    I'm really upset cus if you take that out of the equation then is all is good. But I'm concerned about going back cus of this. I'm not gonna lie it has made me feel good in terms of my looks due to low self esteem. But no means no. Don't get me wrong I'm no oil painting but it's gave me a huge confidence lift and it's big. So that makes me bad. Too nice for my own liking sometimes

    I actually feel bad now about this. Borderline evil. I mean super ego. Life is a strange one sometimes. But I'm 47 so I need to bring that down to Earth. I'm not used to feeling good like this. Its alien to me.

    I said to him: what did I tell you before? He's done it again. Said it's his sexual turn on. I think I need to contact the LGBT centre. I can't be dealing with this

    Cheers for the advice.

    But I'd rather sort this in person

    Oh dear. Phil, I'm sorry to hear this. But don't let it discourage you from going again.
