When I was in high school, I didn’t know how to come out to my childhood friend, so instead of telling her I’d started dating a girl, I instead claimed to have a “robot girlfriend”.
For three months I kept telling her “robot girlfriend” stories that were real dating anecdotes, but… with robot words thrown in just often enough that it sounded like I was telling a really weird, pointless joke.
Eventually, they met and became instant friends, and Rachael was really mad at me. She still brings it up to make fun of me.
I… I don’t know. I think I just panicked. I wanted to talk about my partner but didn’t want to come out, so I figured it’s not gay if they’re a robot.
Was Rachael your childhood friend or your Robot Girlfriend?
