  Wow. No. Backs to the Erica Show on G one oh five,

  Erica DeLong and Trevor and we have a dating dilemma, she wrote in She's
• 0:07
  thirty two, and she said, please y'all help me. I don't know
• 0:10
  what to do. My family was pressuring me for the longest time about dating,
• 0:14
  and I kept going home single, didn't date anybody for many, many
• 0:17
  years. And so this holiday, I decided to bring home one of my
• 0:21
  friends from here in Raleigh. He's gay, he wasn't planning on going anywhere
• 0:26
  for the holidays to see his family. He's single, and so he said
• 0:28
  why not? But she said, the problem is now her family absolutely loved
• 0:33
  him. Her cousin tried to friend him on social which you can clearly see
• 0:35
  that he's not into women if you friend him. And she said, now
• 0:39
  they want them to fly back in February for Grandma's eightieth birthday. And so
• 0:43
  she's like, I got myself into a big bine. She's like, what
• 0:46
  do I do? Do I tell my family it was a lie because they
• 0:48
  kept pressuring me. You can't go No, Do you go through and pretend
• 0:52
  like y'all have this amazing relationship or do you break up and say, oh,
• 0:56
  I found out he was gay? Like, what do you do?
• 0:57
  She said, please please help me, cause I got myself all stressed out.
• 1:00
  She said, he thinks it's funny, but I'm stressing because my family's
• 1:04
  gonna consider me not only single, but now a liar. She can't go
• 1:07
  through all of that and then say, oh, just kidding, I was
• 1:10
  lying. I think she's gonna have to stage a breakup. How long does
• 1:12
  until she stages the breakup? Do it? Now? Does he not go
• 1:15
  to Grandma's birthday party? No? No? All right? What would y'all
• 1:19
  do? And have you ever actually made up a relationship because I used to
• 1:23
  go through that too, where the family pressures you, and like when you're
• 1:25
  gonna get married, when you're gonna meet somebody nine one nine eight six h
• 1:29

• 1:34
  relationship because her family was pressuring her about being single. So she took a
• 1:38
  guy home, which she happens to be her gay friend from here in Raleigh.
• 1:42
  So that's surprise, not gonna work out, right, And so she
• 1:46
  was like what do I do? Because now they love him and want to
• 1:49
  bring him back for Grandma's birthday in February? Should I drag out this relationship
• 1:52
  or tell them the truth? Or uh? Fake stage of breakup? Darcy,
• 1:57
  what do you think? I think that's Grandma's birth day present? That's
• 2:00
  surprised? This is actually my gay friend. You you're the drama. No,
• 2:10
  honestly tell you wouldn't drag it out till Grandma's February birthday and then just
• 2:15
  be like he's gay, surprise, but I'm still single? Do you want
• 2:20
  to buy this the air? Because show? What should she do? Our
• 2:23
  listener dilemma where she faked her relationship took a guy home for the holidays because
• 2:27
  her family kept pressuring her. She's in her thirties, she doesn't have a
• 2:29
  relationship yet, so she took home one of her gay besties from here in
• 2:32
  Raleigh. And now they love him because I'm sure he's fabulous, fabulous,
• 2:37
  and they want him to come back for Grandma's eightieth birthday. And she's like,
• 2:40
  uh, should we just call this off? Should I tell the truth?
• 2:44
  What do I do? Cecilia? What do you think she should do?
• 2:46
  I honestly would just go with it that way. They still think they're
• 2:51
  the pro together. Have you experienced this where your family pressured you if you
• 2:54
  were single for a while. No, I mean I did. I went
• 2:58
  through the memo, even asked how I was gay. At one point I
• 3:00
  was like, no, I like dudes, I just don't have one.
• 3:02
  Hate me too,
