High School Reunion on Saturday, very nervous.

[mtfbuckeye]

Angela,
The rational part of me is concerned for you, simply because it sounds like you might be stepping into a complicated, morally ambiguous situation. Back when I still thought I was merely attracted to trans women and not one myself, I repeatedly cheated on my wife. Worse than that, I often wasn't upfront with the trans women I was seeing about being married, or I fudged the status of my marriage, so I could convince them to get into a romantic/sexual relationship with me. I worry Mike might be doing this...

The emotional, visceral side of me is more like OMG! SQUEEE! I'm so happy for you! It sounds like you had a great time and he really likes you! I'm jealous!

You're a big girl.. but just tread lightly, sweetie.

I worry Mike might be doing this...  Thanks mtfbuckeye,If I know him like I think I do, thats not an issue.When we were in High school, he never cheated on any girl.He was always unlucky for 1 reason or another.He has told me about all his previous relationships,so thats a big plus for me.He wants to reintroduce me to his parents,but I told him lets get to reknow each other for a month or so, and then.

The emotional, visceral side of me is more like OMG! SQUEEE! I'm so happy for you! It sounds like you had a great time and he really likes you! I'm jealous!

Thanks for your concern mtfbuckeye.But If I know him like I think I do from high school, there should be no problem.He had the same girlfriend from middle school to high school, but moved away after graduation.

[Muffin]

Congratulations Angela... it sounds like heaven!!! A guy that can cook? And cook well!!!! bingo!

[Angela]

Thanks Muffin,I told him I really appreciated that dinner.  I told him if there are any food suprises in the future, he should tell me, he laughed. I must have gained 2 pounds last night.

OK I understand where mtfbuckeye is coming from, but this was your decision.

I am so pleased you had such a wonderful time. He sounds really nice.

[Angela]

Spacial youre a doll.Im curious, would you do the same?Only had 1 embarrasing moment last night, that hadnt happened to me in months.While we were chatting the night away, at 1 moment for some reason my male voice came out. I usually have it perfected, so this was awkward.He didnt say anything, and I really appreciate him more for that.

[Britney♥Bieber]

Aww Angela I'm so happy for you!!! This is great news!!! I wouldn't worry about him having a trans fetish, it's only natural to be curious about why we transition and the steps we are taking/have taken. Just take it slow and be safe. Sounds amazing!

[Angela]

Thank you Kimberly.I was wondering for days where your signature came from.Today I got Kate"s new album, and I found out.

[Britney♥Bieber]

haha do you love it? Such a good cd! What are you fave songs?

[Angela]

Thers 4 songs I like best.teenage dream, peacock, the one that got away,and of course california gurls.

[Britney♥Bieber]

Those are the only ones!? What about Last Friday Night! Or Pearl! Or Hummingbird Heartbeat?

[Angela]

I didnt say I dislike all the rest.Just mentioned which were my favorites.

[Britney♥Bieber]

Oh of course. That's what I asked lmao!! The only one I don't like is Who Am I Living For? Lol it bugs me idk why

[Angela]

I think the lyrics arent bad in that song, its the music thats kind of off in that song you mentioned.

[Britney♥Bieber]

Yeah just something about it sounds bad =/ but w/e I still love her!!!

I honestly don't know. My relationship with those I knew at school and colege was fractious at best. But that's just me.

As for your voice, may I suggest you take the advice a professional pianist once gave you a young fellow who was going to play live?

When you make a mistake, just play on. The performance is a big piece. The little imperfections just make it interesting.

In your case, few won't know of your history. What they are interested in is you, now.  And you do look good.

[Angela]

Spacial,I do continue like it didnt happen.But how is it to be prevented alltogether?It rarely happens to begin with.It only happens to me when im extremely nervous. 

[Debra]

This saturday is my class reunion,Im really dreading this.Havent seen any of my classmates in years.How will they react to my transition? Has anyone ever went to a class reunion after their transition, please post your experiences.

Last year was my 10 year reunion and I missed it because it was right about the time I was committing suicide / struggling with whether to transition or not.

But I will say that when I came out on Facebook, many many many friends both guys and girls were surprisingly supportive! I couldn't believe it! Mind you, that doesn't mean I didn't have people dropping their friendships from me, cuz that happened too. Just know you will probably have some that are supportive and some that are not. I hope it goes well!!!! *hugs*

[Angela]

I am so sorry to hear that Jerica. Hopefully you will get a second chance like I am.
