Really?!?

So let me give you some filler info first. A few weeks ago, i started coming out at school. Everything went fine. Then i found out this other gay kid had a crush on me. At first, i was a bit skeptical about it, but over time he started to grow on me.

Here we are a few weeks later and I think i love this kid. I asked one of my friends to get him to ask me if i wanted to hang out. So later that day, he asked me if i wanted to go to the movies on saturday. My mom said it was fine as long as i could get a ride.

So last night, we were oovooing, and he was over a friends house. I told them that my mom said i could go if i got a ride (since they are going to a party). The girl was like "You should sleep over friday night! and my mom can take all of us on saturday." Since friday (tomorrow) is homecoming, i was just gonna go with them to her house at the end.

Then,.... I had to ask my mom if all of that was okay. I consulted numerous friends who knew my mom, and they all said she would most likely let me. And i believed it myself too. But was i wrong. When i got the guts to ask her, about the sleepover, her immediate response was no. I tried everything, told her she could talk to the parents, and even recalled on a time when a girl slept over my house before she new i was gay.

I feel like this wouldnt have happened if i never told her i was gay. Seriously she wouldnt have had any problems with it then, she wouldve just wanted to talk to the parents. I mean, i know shes trying to protect me, but seriously, im not a person to hit a "home-run" in a night. Heck, i havent even kissed anyone yet.

What do you guys think? I know shes trying to be a good mother, but how can i explore who i am if i cant even see this kid. He lives about 40 mins away, so its not like we can go to eachothers houses every day, and i only see him a few times in school. This sucks :(

Maybe you need to think about what you were asking. Whether you came out to your mom or not, you asked to sleep over a girls house that another guy was gonna be there? Straight or gay I don't think any mom who really cares would let that happen. Does she know any of these people? I see your 15 that might have been expecting to much from her. What does your dad say? Can you ask him? She let s girl sleep over maybe she already knew. Most moms who are supportive when we come out know before we even do.

I would ask her if he could come over or you could go their. Your lucky to have parents who support you and as hard as this is for you to figure out it probably is just as hard for them. Be happy their trying

I agree with Sunshine, you were asking her to sleep over at a house with another guy. Since your just came out she's probably just very skeptical, but she'll come around eventually. She seems supportive based on your signature. If you don't mind lieing to your mom you can just tell her your going to hang out with some friends and exclude his name. Then go secretly hang out. I'm glad only good came out of you coming out of the closet to your school. A lot of the time people get bad reactions. Anyways, Good Luck!
