Tomorrow morning at 8:30 I am helping a friend of mine move. He's more of an acquaintance from the straight bar, but we've become closer in the last couple months (he laughs at all my jokes and repeats them to others, saying how funny I am). Anyway, a month or so ago when he spoke of moving I offhandedly offered my help if he needed help moving. He texted me today asking if I could still help. (There will be other straight people there. Not that it matters, but he's moving into a rather large, beautiful brick colonial -- so I assume he earns a nice living.)
Anyway, I told my g*y friend Ryan that I'm helping this guy move tomorrow and the first thing Ryan asked was, "Is he paying you?" I said no, and Ryan told me that he wouldn't help someone if he wasn't being paid.
I then told Ryan that I wasn't raised that way -- that it is our job in life to help other people. Was I being too preachy? Or was Ryan just being greedy?
Truthfully, 8:30 is early for me, but I am happy to help. (The guy joked in his message and said, "There's beer in it for you." Naturally I'm not going to drink during the day.)
P.S. I'm already worried about what I'm going to wear. Obviously jeans and a t-shirt I don't mind getting messed up, right? And I'm nervous seeing str8 people outside of where I usually see them.
So back to my original question: Was I being too preachy?
