Dear Marissa,
I am a 20 year old male and recently I have found that I am more and more attracted to men. My parents keep urging me to find a nice girl to ask out. I don’t quite know how to tell them that I am not interested in girls as I feel it will upset them and they might reject me. Can you please adviise me how to go about it.

Dear Scared and confused,
Concerns such as you have are always much worse when kept to yourself. Of course your parents might be upset but you know that if this is your life choice they will find out sometime anyway. Its clear that your parents care about your happiness or they would not be urging you to meet a nice girl.
No matter how difficult it might seem, honesty is usually the best policy. You are a Divine Original. And you are obviously a kind and considerate person as you care about your parents reaction, you really don’t know how they’ll react till you tell them. Give them time to adjust and perhaps suggest that you all attend a few counselling sessions if the situation does become difficult.
Know that every one in life has a match and your perfect one is out there, trust your heart and choose wisely.
Love Marisa…
