Dear Dev,
I took your advise but now have another problem:
I am a bachelor in my early 30s. I don’t share an apartment with a female because of my high moral standards, and I am not yet ready for marriage.
When I used to share an apartment with another bachelor, people assumed that we were gay.
I now have a very nice place of my own. However, if I have bachelor friends over, I am still perceived as being gay. And if I entertain a female friend, people say I am bisexual. (I just can’t seem to win!)
Why is it that a single man cannot have friends over for a simple card game or to watch TV without people thinking there’s something sexual going on?
I am straight, and I am sick of all this ugly talk. What can I do to stop this vicious gossip?
