The text following the night before.

''Hey (Malaysian)! Hope you're ok. Was nice meeting last night. I did have a think and I really didn't find the click that I thought there might be. I hope you understand and that you find what you're after. It's better to be honest than to just disappear. Take care.''

I hate these types of texts. What else is one supposed to say?

The reply -

''Hi dude, I understand. We can still say hi when we bump into each other. Good luck and take care.''

The chances of me bumping into him on a jolly are far greater than I'd first imagined. I can imagine, in a years time, I'll know a lot of gay people. And a lot of straight people.
