break bread

Summary:

I (25M) might be having a sexuality crisis over my colleague (26M) but I’m straight.

Notes:

to my dear friend and inspo for this fic,
i hope you enjoy this small gift i give you, sorry it took so long to get it done (mind you, this was supposed to be done by baku but i had suicidal thoughts back then) and yeah, made this with lots of love. in the future i might be able to give you something better (maybe break a leg and write tags that i’m not good at) but here it is! love u, hope you enjoy! <3

BUT BEFORE YOU START, WARNINGS:

- ENABLE CREATOR’S STYLE or this might look very confusing

- it might not look so good in other devices so to some extent i’d personally recommend visualizing this on your phone but that’s up to the reader

- i did read this before posting but didn’t properly beta read it. must be said that i purposefully left some mistakes since they were intentional.

- any relation with reality or real people are mere coincidence, i made up all users and names by just randomly mixing words. some of oscar’s words are in fact from real articles and interviews but it’s a mixture with fiction so yeah + i did the fake graphics myself so no ai used :)

- the following skins were used in this story:

I (25M) might be having a sexuality crisis over my colleague (26M) but I’m straight
Question
So, this is a bit of a difficult situation so I’ll try to explain it the best that I can. As the title suggests, I think I’m going through some type of mid-life crisis or something.

I’ve worked at a company for four years now, and this company is divided into many departments and sectors. I happen to be in one and this colleague that I’m talking about is in another (I will refer to him as coworker) so we don’t cross paths much but since we are in the same environment, avoiding him is almost impossible, trust me I tried. I can’t explain how it all began, but during the end of 2025 he was really nice. I was running for a promotion at my job but it ended up not happening, and he was one of the few people who actually believed me when everything started to fall. I can’t get into detail but he is like a commentator or smth, so when he says nice things about me it helps my workplace image plus it’s just cool I guess.

He was really sweet, even when everybody was shitting on me and I think that was a turning point to how I see him. It started with a thought, and then noticing how good he looked. I mean, green eyes? Curly hair? It’s not even a question, he is objectively pretty. He puts real effort into dressing well which is the complete opposite of me, and he does look nice in his fits, he also smells good because of some brand perfume thing he uses, it’s a bunch of things really. These are some stuff I started to pay attention to and this all has been bugging me because I’m straight.

I used to have a girlfriend during 2025, but because I was so focused on getting the promotion, we ended up breaking up after three years of dating. I never really questioned my sexuality before. Sure, kissing a dude or two at 16 shouldn’t count as much. I’ve been thinking about this (and about him) so much that it’s taking all my focus away. I know for a fact that he is gay, that’s kinda of what he’s known for so it’s just a me thing to be confused and panicking. I don’t know what to do or if I’m gay too and I have no one to turn to rn so yeah, a bit of advice would be good.

I feel like the best way would be just getting some time for yourself and figuring out. If you feel like you need to be away from him, do it. It’s better than jumping to conclusions, as you said, he’s openly gay, he knows what he wants, you might just bring problems to his life because YOU don’t know what you want. Imo you should figure yourself out before trying anything or doing anything.

I mean, you clearly have a crush on the guy, I’m sorry or congratulations, whatever. I think you could be bi or something, just because you like a guy doesn’t mean you’re gay. Now about your problem, maybe try out talking to him, getting some time alone with him and see for yourself if he’s actually all that because remember, since you said you guys don’t work together you might be in love with a version you made up of him.

hiddeneightyone81 5mo ago
That’s the thing, we barely have time alone or privacy because of our jobs. I’ve been trying to start casual conversations with him now and then but I also can’t be too obvious because we are like ALWAYS being watched.

Ravishing56 5mo ago
Nah man, that sucks but I still think talking to him would be the best way to know if you really like him. Don’t worry about labels right now, the issue is you liking him or not.

Bro what kind of place does one have to work where your colleague gets known for being gay? I’m so sorry but what is this place?
⋮

hiddeneightyone81 5mo ago
It’s complicated but yeah, unfortunately it’s like that. I think it’s very brave that he managed to make such a difference here, used to be way worse but since he spoke up about his sexuality, I feel like a change is possible.

RobertIsEager 2mo ago
I think in this situation you should focus on getting to know yourself. You probably already read this here but as a gay man myself, whos been through a lot, the worst thing would be for you to approach him and maybe lead him to believe you’re into him just to then turn to him and say you’re straight. Unfortunately I do feel like avoiding him would only leave to more confusion so try staying close, as a friend, and if you turn out to want him then it is what it is.

KingsCrimsons 5mo ago
You work together alr but how long do you know him? Can you give us more details about you two? It’s pretty common to discover yourself in late ages btw. Again, about your job it does seem like a toxic place, maybe you—and him—should try working somewhere better.

hiddeneightyone81 5mo ago
Tbh this is my dream job, I wanted to do what I do since I was a child and he is good in what he does I doubt he’d want a change. We do chat a lot, I noticed I’m always looking forward to talk to him and him specially. The other day he said “happy to see you up here” because I did a good job. We have a good chemistry overall. Oh yeah and I know for a fact that outside our work he praised me, a friend told me.

star9090 5mo ago
still bruh this doesnt sound right maybe the best to do is see him out of work or something get some drinks maybe and then youll knooow for a FACT what type of person he is bc he could also be polite and stuff just to get smth out of you as it happened to me

hiddeneightyone81 5mo ago
I am thinking of calling him out I just don’t know if it would be a good idea. Btw I’m really sorry that happened to you but I genuinely don’t think he is that type of person.

bingolingodingo 5mo ago
Are you seeing him any day soon? Because maybe talking to him helps, asking how it was for him to get out of the closet and how he knew he was gay, ofc experiences are different for everyone but would be a way of starting a convo and idk a friendship if you come to find out you don’t like him romantically

Listen kid, here comes advice from someone who lived it and been through it. I am 39 years old and only found out I was queer nine years ago. You could say it was a hell of time wasted or that I am too old for that but the truth is: love will come to you. It’s not a matter of age or who you’ve dated before, believe it or not I had a wife before meeting my (now) boyfriend.

My point is: do not worry about what has happened, or what will happen, and focus on now. Do you like this guy? Go for it! You can come later and find out you’re bisexual or whatever fills your plate. He seems like a great lad, and you too don’t seem bad intentioned. Of course you have to take some time for you because changes like these don’t happen naturally. I wish you all the best!

I don’t live with/close to my family. They are a whole other issue now, though my sister is LGBT+ and the reaction was very good. I don’t wanna bother them with this so for now they don’t know. I’m sure they would receive the news fine but rn no.

what do you really like about him? tell me something that you thought that made you idk maybe spiral? what tells you this might be love? like, something that was on your mind and rang a bell louder than usual. if you have one of those ofc. btw disclaimer: this is not a test or anything im just curious, ik sharing these are a bit awkward but just remember we don’t actually know each other and this is all internet. you don’t have to be afraid to be a little softie here, no one’s gonna judge you :)

I like… him? I thought it could be just attraction because he’s pretty, that maybe I just needed to get laid and would stop thinking about him. Instead, I found my self checking with my team if we could get him to do a “collab” with us. I know it’s pathetic but his presence is light to be around, I shouldn’t but I’m so into this shit show that I feel like I could trust him even thought it’s well known that people from my area shouldn’t trust people from his area. It’s just complicated.

Maybe you should talk about this with someone closer to you, a friend you trust or even this ex girlfriend of yours, imagine if she knew you were bi before you did and decided to break up? LOL! But seriously, if you don’t trust anyone just throw them some hints and see their reaction and then maybe try talking about it. I truly believe physical support from people you know will help more than anything you’ll see in reddit

Alex Albon (Williams)

Hey, Alex

It’s Oscar here

I know mate I have your contact saved 💀

Didn’t think abt that nvm
Yeah you’ve been all over the place these last few days
Can’t blame you
But what’s up? Do you need anything?
Yeah I think

I was just wondering if you know that Lando guy
As in the journalist?
I mean we all kinda do
You guys know each other right?

You’re friends
Grew up together thing
Yeah
”Grew up” is a bit of understatement 😂
His dad always brought him to races and stuff before he had to lock in to get a degree
But you know, different lane
Why tho?
Nothing in particular
Have an interview coming up
With him
Should be fine mate
I don’t think he’s that type of person if you want to know
What type are we talking about? Lol
Yk
Invasive
The type to push just to get a story and mix your words to make a headline
Oh
Right
Besides
Even if it was the case I don’t think he would
Try to get smth out of u I mean
He seems to like you a bit
Wait what
Wdym
Oh c’mon
Qatar? Spain?
Hes always saying your weekends were good
It’s his job
He’s just being nice lmfao
No but
??? Back in Suzuka he SHAT ON ME
And proceeded to ask the good questions all for you and I KNOW
I did good in Suzuka tho
Deserved
Not your best form either
Very humble of you
Wtv is that what you wanted to know?
Yeah
Uh
Ok clearly not everything
Cmon boy spit it out for your friend Alexie
What a way to weird me out you have
Idk man
I just want to know about him ig
Okay
Is there anything going on?
Not really
Nothing to be suspicious about
HOW CAN IT NOT BE SUSPICIOUS
All of a sudden you’re asking me about A JOURNALIST
Is there anything happening between you two?
NO
No
I meant it as beef or smth
No need to get all defensive mate
Wouldn’t think you’re like
Homophobic
And I’m not?
Wtf where did that come from?
Clearly you have smth with him
And that’s the only reason that makes sense to me tbh
Just know I don’t like or agree with that
Alex ffs
It’s not like that I swear
I just wanted to know the guy, I’m not some creepy homophobe
🤨
Just drop it
Please
If you really wanna know I can tell he hates fish
He likes generic McDonald’s burgers
No sea food restaurants then
I mean
Well unless they give food for everyone that interviews drivers at McLaren that shouldn’t be a prob 😂
Yeah, they do that! All the time actually
Ok…
Anyway
Should ask him if there’s anything else you wanna know
Thank you
Now changing subjects
Padel friday? 😛
Is Carlos going?
…
That’s a yes
I’ll be busy unfortunately ☺️
Have fun tho

But that’s good, that’s a good thing
Do you want to talk about that?
Yeah
They’re cool
We went out
Mate that’s awesome
This is what, the first time since your ex? That’s good
You’re out an about
It’s not the first time since her
It’s the first time that matters ig
Like, I actually like them instead of being just a fling
Wow wow wow
Oscar 😏
You were always a bit of a romantic type
Tell me all about it
When did you two go out?
What did you talk about?
I had to go to the MTC and made a bit of a change of route so we could yk
Do something together
We talked about work, weather, their childhood, movies
Fr?
Yeah we got something to eat and all
So the lucky lady is British
Well well well
Then you took her home and kissed her goodbye or what?
Kinda
I don’t know if I should’ve kissed them
I don’t know if we should even go out like that
I don’t know if this could ever work or if I’m just being way too paranoid
Realistically speaking?
Please
You’re an F1 driver mate there’s only a few things you could do and places you can go without being at least a bit careful
Specially you since you’re in the big leagues
But you can’t stop living just bc of that
I say go out, have fun, do what you want to
Damn
They said the exact same thing
A clever one you got
But do take care even tho your name in gossip magazines would be funny
That’s not even the part I’m mostly worried about
I think they think I don’t like them that way
I tried giving all signs possible that I was interested
Okay advice time
Did you compliment them?
Yes
A lot
Tried flirting?
Yes
Tried consensual touching?
Does hands count?
Meh you could do better but okay for a first date that’s fine
So this is what we’re doing
”We”
If you don’t want my help then
Continue pls
You two will probably go out again, right?
I sure hope so
YOU’RE HELPLESS
Next time you try acting
Either you tell them you want to kiss them or smth
Or approach them carefully
Give it space so they can pull away or say you got everything wrong
Encouraging
It’ll be fine
This will help your case
I hope
Tell me how it went
I’ll try

The true face of F1’s good boy? Oscar Piastri was seen in London, apparently reserved a table for two at a known restaurant and had an unknown company. Some say he might be trying to get back with his ex girlfriend to which he broke up with mid championship fight.

A funny moment in post sprint qualifying interviews 😂

“Lando told me to ask you if the plan worked out fine?”

Oscar: Did he? [laughs]

“Yeah, he said you had it under control.”

Oscar: Uhm…[thinking for half a minute] I mean he did miss his part of the plan so it didn’t go well [laughs]. I’m sure my other tricks will work fine though, you can tell him that.

Piastri joking he has a “plan” to make himself get better positions is so corny. And his journalist friend being part of it is even worse. They must be friends or the other guy is getting paid thats the only reason someone would say anything positive about Piastri.

also how crazy it is that someone who appreciates his driving? doesn’t mean they are friends or anything more than coworkers. and if they are it’s okay too because surely people working in FORMULA ONE has decency to separate friendship and work.

oscar: *smiling* could’ve been better, what about you?

“good, thank you! not really what you expected for the day?”

oscar: uhm, not really […] the pace we seemed to have was just not really there. a bit hard to pull a lap together which led to this, but I’m confident we can change that and get some important points tomorrow.

So about the other thing

Do you wanna a ride?

i don’t want to bother or anything like that

besides i can catch a flight tomorrow if anything

Mate chill

It’s fine I promise

well then alr :)

how do you know i gotta stay in monaco?

don’t think i mentioned it

Oh yeah that

The guy from Sky Sports mentioned while talking to someone else

wah the stalker type you are then

I’ll wait for you in the airport
Me and you are probably doing a small stop somewhere if that’s okay

ok ill address the behavior there

good luck w your race :)

May 26 07:10 AM

Well damn this is what they call ego death fr Never been humbled so quickly as you should tbh 🙂‍↕️ Pretty sure I can win on uno though you’re EMBARASSING yourself rn NO ONE is better than me in uno Debatable Someone must be better than you in uno I fear it’s kinda me after what i saw yesterday i can’t be convinced that easily what proofs do you have exactly Wdym proofs I’ve been winning against lots of people like who? ALEX DOESNT COUNT HES THE UNLUCKIEST PERSON EVER Oh wow this Alex shade I’ll let him know your thoughts on him don’t you dare ❤️ hes super cool he told me you keep denying his invitations to play padel It’s more complicated than that dont tell me you’re bad in padel too I mean I’m in learning stage if I can call it like that are you as good as you are in uno? That’s not fair Besides what proofs do YOU have that you’re good in uno? i’m a five time champion of the yearly uno christmas tournament of the norris family Are you serious? dead serious every christmas we do some type of uno run where the winner collects points while the losers rotate proud to day i’ve been protecting my title pretty well That seems like a really cool thing to do The whole uno tournament s nice rlly started as an idea from my sisters but now we all just engaged on it It’s nice that you are those moments with them Last year I was so burned out that I didn’t want to go home for Christmas lmfao oh Sorry uhm Anyway sorry that happened :( It’s okay really I ended up going anyway and it was pretty fun thats good then do you want to talk about it? don’t think i ever asked I Do I ever want to talk about it lol If you want to, you can ask anything i think i wanna know what you want me to know what do you want me to think about it, oscar? Oof That’s a tough one You’re kinda worst than my therapist lowk I’ll take that as a compliment It is one To some extent But uhh I never really thought about it like that I guess I didn’t want to be badly portrayed by media No one wants I think no not that not media just me not the journalist now, just me Just you huh? I want you to think about it as it was I gave all I had and it wasn’t enough ill say something kinda cringe and def not what u want to hear but one day it’ll be Thank you, Lando It’s not as cringe as it sounds Nowadays it’s better btw just so you know Used to be worse I was basically alone at some point but now I have people around me that I can trust wdym alone? Well I kinda broke up with my girlfriend back then so She was the only one coming to races for a while and then there was nobody mate that sucks im sorry did you like break up with her because of the championship or… Yes and no I guess I did focus too much on it, more than I should But it was going to end like that anyway It didn’t feel right anymore i see hope you guys are okay Oh no it was okay Most chill break up ever But wbu? oh no i didn’t break up with no girlfriends no So funny BUT ITS TRUE no but jokes aside theres not much to say There’s definitely lots to say what makes you think that? 😂 Everything?? You’re still young, good looking, has a good job, smells nice Theres got to be something wdym “still” young im like ONE YEAR older than u fyi also since when have u been been studying me i feel exposed this stalker behavior again… we should do smth about it Its not studying, it’s observing alr so you’ve been “observing” that i smell good That was Not really what I meant why do i feel like that’s a lie imagine lying so bad I can sense it through text Honestly you’re just crazy atp if yooouuu say soo but no besides ur kind words being gay in f1 is not as easy as it looks if ure paranoid like me it’s even harder bc then youll convince yourself no one really likes u they just want the feeling you give them sorry I get you, don’t worry but who knows maybe ill find myself another media guy to date Hope not Hopefully** hmm but yeah who knows maybe he will even be good in monopoly Or maybe he won’t Doesn’t matter I’ll still be the best uno player ever you just LIE for shits and giggles I’ll prove myself right then Are you still in Monaco? yep staying here till the gp I propose a uno duel The winner takes the title of best player okay deal only for the sole purpose of uno Of course I think I told you where I live back in UK yea yea i’ll come over at 7 Ok :) May 27 01:00 AM

I don’t mate, I’m sorry What happened? Ok so I’ll send it to you and you’ll save it And ask him to unblock me please I actually won’t be doing none of that Not until you tell me what’s happening Mate wtf Wdym unblock you? Alex c’moooooon It’s complicated One thing I have to spare is time God you’re annoying Remember the person I told you I was going out with? Yeah We kissed YOU KISSED LANDO NORRIS? Yes No Haha how did you just come up with that lol It’s something else entirely Mate you don’t have to lie to me I saw how you both talked in the jet Idk if you noticed I was IN FRONT OF BOTH OF YOU So really no need to be all mystery man about it Oh thank fuck This has been eating me alive I’m sorry I didn’t tell you straight away It’s okay I wasn’t going to judge you or anything tho Could’ve talked to me instead of “Reddit” mate I know but it’s complicated I don’t even know if I’m doing everything right And honestly It’s still a bit of a new thing I had no idea how you were going to react Don’t worry about that, I’m your friend I’ll support your late life discovery On a brighter note its not even that late I guess ? Lol So you like boys then What now Now I try to fix my stuff with your help 😄 Wait but You like him and you guys kissed Why did he block you then?😭 You can’t be that bad of a kisser It’s not that He came to my place Monday night Okay wow Oscaaaaar 😏 No need to get too much into details in this part Stfu We were just playing games and eating That’s exactly how sex starts mate Idk if you know Thank you for the brilliant insight Alex that’s very helpful But again, nothing happened because when he kissed me I froze for a second You’re joking I wish We were talking and close and shoulders touching and everything and tbh I was planning on doing it because it seemed like he wanted too and now I know he did but He did it first Why didn’t you kiss him back Idk DID SOMETHING He pulled away too quickly And then I looked at him and he looked scared like he did something wrong So I asked if he was okay but it sounded more confused than concerned Nah you’re useless He started to apologize and sprinted out Clever guy I personally wouldn’t look at you ever again bc wdym you kiss someone and ask them if they’re okay Ofc it’s gonna sound like they did something wrong I know that’s why I tried calling him but he just texted me he was sorry about it as if he ran over my entire family and that’s it I think he thinks he messed up That I don’t like him back and he just ruined everything I mean yes??? Can’t even blame him, the guy has been through a lot ever since he outed himself as part of the community Imagine if someone said “Oh this Lando guy kissed me, what a weirdo” But that’s not going to happen And he’s not a weirdo I would never do that to him or try to ruin his public image I know I’m just saying you can’t blame him for reacting like that And I don’t blame him I just want him to talk to me again to make things clear but he blocked me Is this going to fast? Should I give him some time before contacting him? Aw that’s so cute, you and your Boy journalist dramatic situationship? Just answer the question Maybe? Idk give him some space and he himself might come to talk to you What if he doesn’t? Then Monaco is just around the corner and you can find a way to talk to him personally since he’ll be here for the GP anyways I’m sure you can take some days without your Boy friend? Friend boy Boysomething Yes exactly my “boysometing” Btw padel you said? I’ll see if I can Yeah no you’re sick sick sick I hope Lando comes back soon Shut up mate

In the buzz of the paddock, the face of Oscar Piastri, fresh and politely smiling, arrives earlier than expected. It’s not common, he says, and media teams shouldn’t expect it to happen again. He brings an excited energy, eager as his fourth season in Formula One could be.

As a new regulation hunts the life of every team, Oscar doesn’t make himself too worried about what that could mean. “These things are developed with time,” he says, showing how much of a mature sense he has. When asked if that could impact McLaren more than expected, he chuckles: “I don’t think so. Of course, it’s not going to be easy, and we are certainly a way off what we thought we were, but still, these are just things that take time to get on the right foot again.”

McLaren comes from two World Constructors Championship wins in a row, bouncing back from dark times that followed the team till the recent start of the 2023 season, where further in the year, a key switch for them. “The team knows where we have to change, sometimes we get on a weekend, and a new problem will appear, but the right feedback will point them to the right way to solve it.”

Piastri has his own way of managing problems, as most of them are unexpected, he shrugs off, thinking a little before answering, “I think I deal with it better nowadays.” Oscar explains his feelings towards it: “There’s pressure to deliver, obviously, you want to do a good job, and it doesn’t always go as planned, but the secret is how to get back from that.”

Oscar Piastri comes out of a title fight during the 2025 season, finishing third in his third year as a driver, quite a huge difference from his previous standings. Surely, he can talk about things not going as planned. Piastri started the year with an unfortunate DNS in his home country, followed by another in the Chinese Grand Prix main race. The Australian star could proceed to get a podium finish in the Suzuka track, bringing the team important points. But how does it feel to Oscar Piastri to stand on a podium?

“It’s one of the best feelings you could get, the awareness that it all paid off and you can finally breathe a little is, yeah, it’s unmatched.” Piastri has his fair share of standing in the golden three steps, making sure to pick a favorite. “Winning in Spa was certainly one of my favorite moments, just a really good track, and I always look forward to it.”

He also holds a special spot in his heart for Albert Park, a track he aims to win in. Now living in the fancy streets of Monaco, in a cozy place decorated with plastic Lego flowers, trophy replicas, and pictures of his family, he shares his feelings:

“I miss it, didn’t realize how much I missed home till I was too far away from it. But when your goal is to be an F1 driver, there are things you have to give away to achieve that. I left home quite early to compete and, you know, give it a shot, so yeah, I miss it. You learn to deal with those emotions, but if I could teleport to anywhere in the world right now, it would be Australia.”

With a heavy accent reminding him where his roots come from, Piastri is quite proud to represent his country. Asked if he expects the public to believe in him, Oscar bites his lips, thinking for a longer while.

“I guess, yes. I want them to like me to some extent, to believe I can bring home a championship and win races. I expect them to like me for who I am.”

Piastri holds some special and funny records on his list, from becoming the first Australian since 1960 to score a Grand Slam to being one of the few drivers who ever scored a podium on their birthday. Ruthless on wheels but calmer on the outside, Oscar claims to be a guy who would rather chase a calm lifestyle rather than making things difficult for himself. “Personally I try to avoid stuff that I know will bring me down or cause some type of trouble. I just want to live my life and enjoy it.”

Between jokes and warm smiles, the Australian reveals his claws: the desire to win a championship. “I still have plenty of time, I’m young, single, just getting started. There are some tricks up my sleeve that would leave you shocked.”

Piastri thinks he got what it takes to be one of the big names in Formula One and puts it on view for the increasing number of different fans who now approach the sport. With his unique way of overtaking, his speed, and his calming voice, Oscar makes sure to comment on the topic. “Support is always nice, as I said, whether you’re driving in your home country or somewhere else, it’s nice to see people rooting for you. I do hope the sport can become welcoming for different people, so everyone, no matter who they are, can be here.”

His joking intonation is very welcome, though the likes of Formula One would say it’s way more meaningful than what it looks. We are waiting to see what you can show the world, Oscar Piastri.

sooo i bought the extended version of oscar’s article and there’s some line that really got to me. it’s when the interview ends and lando describes oscar as: “a pretty smile on his face, with a spirit of someone who was just fresh out of a win, giggling as if he’s not about to drive the fastest machines in the world.” and idk i felt like besides gay it’s also poetic!

To be more specific, there’s a point I wanna add again. Lando had a boyfriend, the guy looked a LOT like oscar so it could be him making a come back bc as some must know, they broke up last year after he cheated on lando (this is not “made up” btw there’s pic proof)

Truly don’t wanna add wood to the fire but looking at the posts, if anything happened it’s probably super recent. Lando has been in Monaco since last week since he recorded an interview with Arvid, also later on Oscar posted the shirtless pic, so it’s probably in between the GP and the pic.

Lando

hello hey You unblocked me Wow It worked Sorry I didn’t thought you’d do it it was either this or im sure you’d stop me in the middle of a transmission or something That’s not reaaally true Far from reality actually yeah no it’s not like you stopped me mid monaco gp in a paddock filled with people Uh Desperate situations call for desperate measures Besides, you avoided me so that didn’t change anything yeah sure then the other day i had alex coming up to me Again, desperate measures he said it was a question of life or death so here i am but im gonna warn you, I wont stay silent ????? That’s good then because I’m not planning to fight you I want to talk to you oh i don’t think there’s anything to be said, mate There is so much to be said that I don’t know where to start so bear with me for a sec oscar mate genuinely it’s all good i misunderstood something and sorry i did, for real let’s just move on, move past it No You didn’t misunderstand anything That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you wait what wdym Back when I invited you to come over, I had the intention to tell you about it but then you kissed me and I didn’t know what to do Lando There’s no easy way to say this But I like you mf why you saying like it’s the worst thing ever also what the fuckkkkk Nooo I don’t mean it like that I’m sorry, communication is not my strongest skill since when? Well I was never the most talkative guy in kindergarten since when do you like me? Oh that A while now, I think I started thinking about it before the Miami interview but I didn’t want to dive into it too much I thought I liked the way you talked about me Because you said nice things and all that But then I just couldn’t stop thinking about it So I went to Reddit to ask about how to proceed in that point you went WHERE? I know, it sounds dumb now but I wanted to talk to someone but also couldn’t bc I was confused myself so reddit told you you like me? They encouraged me to try getting closer to you But mostly, I thought to myself that I had nothing to lose If we had gotten closer and it had turned out I didn’t feel anything, I’d still have made a friend i can understand your logic so how it turns out now then? Man I wish we were having this conversation in person To tell you it turns out I did have feelings for you oh thank god i wasnt imagining things but mate what the fuck why didn’t you tell me this? I don’t know It’s not that simple there’s another point i feel like we should bring up, are you even into lads? I’m into you and you’re a guy so yes? I think yes I mean it Lando you know you made me feel like i was experiencing some psychotic episode when i kissed you, i genuinely thought you were weirded out or something and i kept thinking you were just being nice to me and i was crazy for creating hopes that it was a thing You weren’t wrong, I was trying to give you some signs but We know what happened so I guess it wasn’t my best form Sorry I made you feel like that though But again, I am willing to try and make this work If you are too … this isn’t fair, you know i am i still have lots to ask tho like were you hitting on me since the first time? Kinda I mean why would I mention I’m single out of nowhere for an article? could be to the world idk maybe you had some whore ish ? side in you i wasnt aware ???

Officially only him okay that’s good we didn’t get an email about workplace ethics so it’s a good start we will have an upper hand in the situation if the announcement comes from us rather than anyone else shouldn’t risk too much still, if there’s a leak or anything it’ll be harder Lando there will be talks it’s the f1 paddock there’s always someone talking Lando Really good you’re already thinking about the technical part right now but idk if this year would be good for any pr scandal with you, there’s already a lot going on for you Lando I wanna see you FOCUS OSCAR i’m in the uk rn anyways so When do you come to Monaco again? i wasn’t planning to going back so soon but i’ll see if i can find some time in my very very busy schedule for you Gotta start that making up to you part jesus you’re so unserious Text me the details of your flight I’ll catch you up in Nice wow helping the homeless lando norris you’re so kind Ikr Can’t wait to discuss all that HR part with you you’ll love it you already know this but i also have feelings for you oscar which is crazy because you’re Oscar Piastri but yeah God I can’t wait to see you soon enough yeah?

UPDATE: I (25M) might be having a sexuality crisis over my colleague (26M) but I’m straight
Update
After my other post got so many upvotes, I feel like I owned this for you, so here’s an update of how things have been going.

For context, this is a continuation of this.

Well, after that I’d like to say things ran smoothly but they didn’t. I did as I thought it would be best and got closer to my coworker. From my point of view I was pretty obvious with my signs, and most of the jokes I did had a bit of a spicy undertone just to make sure I was being straight to the point. Turns out I wasn’t. After inviting him over to my house, we were playing some card games, and he kissed me, but I didn’t know how to react and ended up sounding like I didn’t like it. It was just some really awkward miscommunication now that I look back at it. During my moment of despair and frustration and having been blocked in most social media, I tried approaching him in our workplace, kinda dumb, but what else would I do? Unfortunately, it was a very field day, so he said we should talk somewhere else but then, when we got to “somewhere else”, he just went, “I have to do this and that, bye” so yeah, not very helpful.

After that, one of my friends did talk to him on my behalf, and he unblocked me, then we had a conversation that managed to clear up the important points and I could tell him I liked him. He came over again after that and I could explain myself a bit better and kiss him too, plus other stuff that this subreddit won’t allow me to talk about. He’s very sweet and thoughtful, it’s like he’s always thinking one step ahead. He’s also terribly more energetic than me, which is not hard, but he has lots (and I mean LOTS) of stamina, he even willingly goes to the gym instead of doing it as an obligation like me. He sleeps later than me, likes to listen to country music and is very good at games. We are planning to take a trip together on vacation, though we travel a lot bc of work, he wants to take me to “a real party” so we’ll see how that goes.

Nothing’s changed at work, but also we aren’t publicly dating yet. I feel like some of the people in my area are starting to notice, besides a close friend that is one of the few who knows. I think he told one of his friends too, but still, very private. He wants to wait for a right moment to do so, and honestly, I agree we are in the middle of a very busy moment at work. Overall, that’s it! Thanks to everyone who helped and gave me useful advice in the original post! See ya!

P.S: He might be seeing this bc I promised to send him the link when I posted it so yeah hey baby!

hey dude! all good? i just read your two posts and omg you’ve been through a run lol but yeah, uh i’m in a similar situation right now, would you have any advice? the confusion about my sexuality and if i like this guy or not is genuinely killing me. to make matters worse, we are friends so i’m afraid of ruining it all.

Honestly, considering you guys are friends you might have more involved than I did, since there’s that fondness you find in friendships. I’d tell you to observe the waters, do you think this person likes you? Try inviting them out and point it’s a date to see their reaction. I’d say risk it because FOR ME risking it worked but be aware situations differ a lot.

One thing I’m curious: did getting together with him help you with your sexuality discovery? You said he’s openly gay so he must be more experienced

hiddeneightyone81 5 days ago
As I said before, the labels didn’t really matter or come to mind. Since he’s been sure of his sexuality for longer than me I did ask some questions about it, like “how did you know?” but overall I think discovering anything about myself is up to me. We had a talk the other day and I associated myself better with bi, but it’s not something that takes away my sleep at night or anything. I’m with him so Ik it’s gonna be okay.

No it’s actually a relief because in a way he has more patience with me, he knows things better than me and can show me and teach me if needed.

Mate with all due respect, hard to believe nothing changed in your workplace, either the HR is shit or idk, at least for me the ethics are very severe and my boss is particularly strict when it comes to dating coworkers. Can’t imagine what’s your relationship gonna be like, certainly doomed

The HR are a bit shit yes but also no one gaf, besides it’s still a bit undercover from our respective bosses. We are still planning a way to tell them because it would be better for us to have this “upper hand”, but till now no issues regarding that. I hope my relationship is better than yours bc you seem bitter af lol

why do you want to keep it private tho since you like him so much? are you not out to your family or smth? sorry if this sounds a bit passive aggressive i found your past post yesterday and having been through something quite exactly the same, i’m curious

I am not out, yes, but beyond that, me and him have lots of eyes on us all the time, so it’s easy for someone to come up with a story that wouldn’t be good for us. I am way more reckless than him when it comes to that though, sometimes I can’t find it in me to give a fuck about everyone else.

See, this is what I’m talking about! There’s no right moment of age for love! Happy you could get together with the man you love, son. Unfortunately it’s not like that for all of us so make sure to enjoy all time with him. I used to love a man like that too, full of energy and love but never had that dog in me to tell him. We became friends and I had to watch him get married to someone else knowing it could’ve been me if I had the courage to tell him I loved him. Enjoy your time, really, it’s gonna be something you’ll look behind for.

Hey! Read your posts and I’m a bit curious because I am also starting a relationship as someone who previously had a girlfriend and just recently found a very nice dude to date, did you like… idk realized he’s different from what you thought? Like idk do you still like him after knowing him and thinking to yourself “wow me and this man are going to have sex” or smth, does it not get to you sometimes?

hiddeneightyone81 5 days ago
Not the way you’re describing, no. I have awareness moments where I think “wow I’m in love with him for real” but not in a bad light, just because it’s something new that I like so much but I’m also not used to, y’know? Knowing him better made me realize even more what a lovely person he is so I think your situation is a bit different compared to mine. He’s different from I thought because he’s even better

Hello 👋 I did talk to a friend, the one that I mentioned knowing about us. Still, it took a while to open up, to find the words, y’know? Besides, I was still confused with myself, kept questioning if what I felt was in fact romantic and not some sort of admiration, but then I stopped thinking about labels and focused on what I felt for him which led me to the conclusion it was indeed not just some friendly thing. Talking to him helped ease it out so cheers, thanks for the advice

I haven’t told them yet, still waiting for when I visit as soon as I get a break from work. I grew up “independently” in some ways so I don’t really worry about that, it’s not like I live with them although approval would be nice. I’m probably meeting his family first since he wants to and it’s not going to be news to them.
