Gay crush on best friend
Ron came home with a bag of cassettes from Tower Records. “I found a cool-looking guy in the store,” he said. “I asked him to declare me what I should buy.” I didn’t give a second’s thought to the guy in the store. I heard “Presents.” Upstairs at Eric’s by Yaz. Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits. Avalon by Roxy Music.
As he walked to the stereo with one of the cassettes, I saw Ron silhouetted in our expansive view of Lake Michigan. It was magic hour, the time of day I’d learned about in film university when the light glowed mellow and romantic at dusk. As Roxy Music’s saxophone echoed off the linoleum, I watched him from my end of the sofa: sculpted face, thick dusky hair with an early shock of silver. I even loved his feet. Yet I couldn’t reach over and touch them as tenderly as I wanted to do. We were just roommates, his invitation to wait just helping out a comrade from church.

Here's The Thing
Here’s The Thing is an advice column/newsletter where I mostly beg people to either stop digital dating someone or to ask their obsession out. Or I talk about weird things that came to my soul that no one is paying me to write about. I can never decide if I should capitalize the “the” in Here’s The Thing or not; apologies on lack of consistency.
My question/problem is attractive simple- I (straight woman) have a crush on my gay male partner. I don't consider he has ever felt ambiguously about his sexuality so to be clarify I'm not muddled about what's workable or trying to interpret mixed signals or anything. And I'm not sure what happened to me- one daytime we were friends and the next day I had this crush.
