Gay Voices' Love Files: They Only Love Me When They're Drunk

We, here at HuffPost Gay Voices, are super excited to present a new feature called Love Files.

Here is this week's question:

I think something a lot of people have trouble with is the "straight friend who knows you're gay and gets gay with you when they've been drinking." I had a situation unravel (it was a decade-long unraveling) and it was so incredibly upsetting. Confessions of undying love, regretting the initial rejection, verbalizing actual feelings but only when drunk. It was a huge problem that escalated for me and the only thing I could do was post to a forum (this one, if you're curious). No one could help me. So the whole situation exploded. I don't need assistance anymore because it is over. Forever. But I know this is a common issue and I'm not the only one who has/is experiencing this.

Below, we've rounded up the advice from our four amazing panelists. Share your own thoughts and advice in the comments or tweet them to us on Twitter, we'll keep collecting and highlighting some of our favorite responses.
