I have a very common first and last name. A straight coworker has a gay friend with the exact same name as me and tried to pair us together.

I mean I fucked him but still... it was weird lol

I have several requirements to qualify a date, but having the same name isn’t one of them.

Sure why not?! Though I have yet to meet anyone else with my name that is gay. Even straights actually, at least not as an adult. I had a classmate in middle school with my name but that was the only time that’s ever happened (he even had the same last name - made for a lot of confusion). You know what will be hard though is to date someone with with the same name as my ex-husband haha. But I am sure I’ll get over that.

There’s a lot of initial weirdness to it but that gets shaken off if the chemistry is right.

My girlfriend and I have the same first name. Thankfully I go by my middle name (and I call her by her middle name but most others call her by her first name). It was still weird when we first started dating. I have gotten use to it more now though.

I have a double-Alex friends-couple and a double-Paul. I think it’s cute.

I replied once and said let’s talk tomorrow. We got coffee, then coffee turned into drinks and we spent the night together. He left this morning. I said everything I wanted to say, got answers from him and told him where he messed up/how he hurt me and he held himself accountable. He told me he had a panic attack (continued)
