While I was a student at L.S.U., I was approached by a friend from U. L. - L. who said she had a problem, and I asked if I could help. She told me how: I was to pretend to be her brother's girlfriend. Now Warren (not his real name) had just gone to U.L. -- Lafayette and had pledged a fraternity that was pretty broad-minded. Now Warren was in the closet (so to speak). I kind of guessed it; but he was afraid that some less tolerant frat member might blackball him because of homophobia! [I make no judgments about his preference nor his desire to make it not evident. Anyway, he is a nice guy and was glad to help out.]
The story line is that I was his g.f. away at L.S.U. while he was being a Ragin' Cajun at U.L.- L. (Lafayette is a party town.) Still we would correspond by email, send letters to each other, and occasionally phone. I was careful to make the tone of the correspondence by post to be somewhat suggestive of closeness, but without explicitness, to indicate we had an enduring relationship. And, of course, add some day-to-day things for verisimilitude. Boys are just as nosy as girls when it comes to possible dirt. And the idea of someone getting laid! [blush] Frat guys are VERY basic in their interests.
This went on for over a semester. Finally, it came time for the fraternity's Spring Formal. He asked me to come visit, and I got away for a weekend, and crashed with my girl friend.
Warren and I made the scene, and we played at being inseparable and devoted to each other. This called for the best in our acting performance; but I must say that some guys with a few under their belts were not acting critics! I helped him with his dancing; apparently being gay did not make him a better dancer! However, he got the basics, and I did not mind very much even when he danced close with me while holding me close a little lower than was entirely proper!
And we kissed. Repeatedly. I enjoyed his; and I hope he did mine. Somehow, his ardor must have made an impression on his fellow frat members.
We continued to correspond, but at a lower rate. Apparently, he adjusted well to life in Lafayette. And his frat bros figured out his orientation eventually; but no worries there -- they were open-minded. He was even elected an officer. I guess the faking was not needed. Oh well; maybe we all didn't have to be so judgmental. Anyway, he's still a great friend I keep in touch with.
Women are supposed to be good at faking orgasms. But faking a relationship is a whole new dimension. Maybe I'm cut out for diplomacy. The Department of State is good at that.

Fake girlfriend. Real friend.
Very nice, Angel.
Well, I think it was a nice thing to do for the guy. You are probably right about the necessity at the college level. However, my daughter says hanging out with the gay boys was a lot safer for her in college. God bless 'um.
That's a great story and a good deed.
glad you helped him out, and even better that he could be himself, eventually.
Very interesting! So you served as a beard?
I think your help was needed in the beginning to get him 'in the door'.
You can do a good deed for me any time. With my wife's permission, of course.
Now that was going all out for a friend!
You are equipped to do whatever interests you!
