I just started hanging out with a girl who I’ve known since middle school. She’s a bit older than me so we weren’t friends in Jr. high, we would greet each other in passing so we were just cordial.

We are young adults now and we developed a friendship because we live on the same street, a few houses away from each other. We’ve only been hanging out for about nearly 3 months now and she’s not someone I can be myself around. She’s extremely critical, she would constantly look for minutiae things to create a massive problem and honestly I’m just ready to cut her loose at this point.

This past weekend, she invited me to a house party as her plus 1, I went with her. She knew just about everyone there and almost everyone knew each other, but I didn’t know anyone other than her. People were curiously wondering who I was because I was someone they’ve never seen before so I introduced myself and got acquainted.

There was a particular girl I was conversing with, she was very nice, it was an amicable conversation of us getting to know one another. She’s a lesbian. Her name is Nisha and my friend peeped that we were talking. The next day she interrogated me about what was going on between Nisha and I and I told her nothing really, we’re were just talking. She wanted to know the intricacies of my conversation with her, so I had to ask her why does she need to know. Her response was “listen, if you’re gay, that’s your business, but I don’t want people thinking I’m gay if I’m hanging out with you”. She really believes in her mind that there was a romantic connection between Nisha and I and there really wasn’t. But even if so, what’s the issue ?

My friend’s older sister told me that she was in an under the radar lesbian relationship for 5 years which was before she and I began hanging out, but yet somehow she has an issue with me being associated with a lesbian ? I can’t even make any sense of this
