I need help. My life has changed a lot recently. I was on a downward spiral but thankfully was able to start getting my life back on track. I was doing stupid stuff and living like a hermit but I'm taking small steps and saving money to make things happen. I moved back in with my parents since they live right next to a mountain resort. I work there and get to snowboard so it's fun. I'm also full time as male at work. And pretty much stealth (I'm pre-everything, but 6'3, small chested, and have a naturally deep voice). There's one girl that I actually talk to about it with. And there's a few people that she says knows. But really I have no idea who knows what. I've never been questioned about it. There's a lot of South American college aged people that came here for their summer break to work and I've become friends with a lot of them. I really need to learn Spanish because even though I have an absolute blast partying with them, I'm almost always completely lost in the conversations going on. Being treated as a regular guy at work and in my social life has brought out this completely new extroverted me. I feel outgoing like I was when I was a kid and didn't give a **** what anybody thought about me. And people actually want to hang out with me. Having a social life has completely rocked my world all on it's own. But with a social life that usually involves partying and going to clubs means women. I identify as a straight guy. I'm also very flirtatious. Or at least I give a lot of attention to women because I like women so much. There's even a girl at work that is really into me. But I have no idea if she knows if I'm trans or not. I drive her home late at night a lot after we've all been hanging out because she's on the way, it's freezing outside, and I'm a gentleman. I know she wants me to kiss her. She prolongs getting out of my car for as long as possible, but I just don't feel right making a move not knowing what she knows. That's why I keep it harmless with all the girls that I think are cute and seem like they might be interested. Because I don't know what they know or just think they don't know and don't want to risk them feeling or seeing something. I just don't know what to do. I need advice or something.

Plus, someone found grey hair on my head today. I'm 25. Apparently on my moms side the men and women were fully grey by 30-35. What the ****.

Have fun man. You seem to be doing well. I felt the same way about my senior year in high school.

I can't give advice on the other stuff, but I can say that my step-dad and his entire family all greyed in their 20s and it helped them all. Especially since my step-dad worked in banking, people tended to give him more respect since he looked older. When you look older, people tend to think you're more respectable because of like life experience I guess? Anyway, it's not necessarily a bad thing.

I have gray HAIRS, many... and am 24 haha
You aren't alone.
Wish I had a naturally deep voice, that must be of great benefit. And that is awesome about being more extroverted, whenever I feel comfortable in my skin I get like that. Right now that's not often.
So, what do you need help with? Just curious.

I don't know what I need help with. I'm loving life but at the same time I'm lonely. I'm craving physical affection. I'm dealing with insane jealousy over this one girl I'm into (the one girl who I talk to about being trans). I want all of her but she just wants to be tight friends, and is always talking about different guys with me. And then the girl that's all over me, I don't know if I should talk to her about me being trans so that she either backs off or I can feel more comfortable going for it. I want to date. But I'm pre-everything. Should i just grit my teeth and wait til I get things moving? Or just start being more open and go for it?

I think it depends what you are comfortable with. Early in, I was more open to the idea of dating because I had a really great girl who just got it, and knew how to be respectful. Now, I only have one person I want...if it doesn't work out with her, I won't date until I've had all my corrections.

What is your fear in telling the girl that likes you?  That she will reject you?  That she will tell others you are trans*?

if your friend who knows you're trans and you talk to her about it, why don't you ask her if this other girl knows? (i assume you work with both of them, that's what i got from this). either way, even if that girl doesn't know or you don't wanna use your friend to find out..you can still have a convo and find out where this girl stands on LGBT issues if you haven't before. that usually gives you a good indicator on how they might react if you come out to her. bring up a news article you saw or something you saw online, w/e. something casual and if she is cool with it she just might think you're an ally at most (unless she did find out then either way it won't matter) right?

if she isn't cool with it - move on. if she is, test the waters then. you can go on a date (or even a few dates) and not tell her right away. you don't have to disclose your trans status to anyone and you decide when you do. generally people do it on a first date, or the first few. especially if it's gonna go somewhere. honestly being pre-t isn't a deal breaker (although it might make us dysphoric). if she's cool with it all, she might want to know how far along you are, ask questions, etc. the whole dating thing can be tricky (whether you're pre everything or not) but when i went to talk to people about how to go and disclose it..they just told me to do it as you do when telling someone about yourself on a date kind of thing like when you're finding out about someones interests and w/e.

either way it's all a big change and you'll get into the groove of things once you take that first step. you'll figure out when to tell someone, how, etc. just try not to be discouraged if she isn't cool about it and don't be petty about it either if you decide to tell her. learn from it and move on because that's one girl and for that one, you'll find 5 who are cool with it. especially since you're a bit older, people are more open minded around your age and understanding and probably even informed on it.
