Hooked up with the wrong person
Monkeys!
So I've been thinking about this for a while now and kinda wanted to get your opinion on this. I was a SA at a top BB last summer and wanted to go FT at EB(EVR, LAZ, PJT) so I didn't care about anything and ended up hooking up with an Associate from a different group. Turns out I didn't get into EB and received FT from my BB and now I am about to start this fall. I don't know how to handle the awkwardness especially after that Associate added me on LinkedIn 2 weeks ago. We are not in the same group but I think I'll be seeing him once we go back to the office.
PS. We both are guys and straight (at least I am) and I have a girlfriend and I don't know what to do about this whole situation.
How are you straight if you hooked up with a dude?
it was a happy hour and I was kinda drunk
“I was drunk it doesn’t count!”
Mate I’ve got some news for you...
Mate I think most of us would have to be so drunk we'd have already passed out for that to happen. But hey, I respect the hustle and I'm sure you'll get the return offer. The hard way.
just admit it, you will feel free
You better have been wearing socks...
Also, I did say "no homo" so I'm good
Ah there we go! Problem solved, just tell your gf that she'll be fine
i gotta leave this at 69 sb
10/10, would read again
also, epic username
oh no ![https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pTTMzJpofLg/maxresdefault.jpg][https://i.ytimg.c…]
this is very important
Someone took the advice to play the "LGBT+ card" a bit too seriously.
Appreciate the dedication and commitment, tho.
I think we're all thinking it, but nobody has explicitly asked... I'm sure it was a new experience for you. I'm straight, and not homophobic, so I've certainly been curious:
What did it feel like when you tried to sit down the next morning?
How many pillows did you need to sit on?
gayyyyyyyy
You've made my day!!!
wtf
Dude it's more common than you think and just pretend nothing happened at least that's what HR told me
"at least that's what hr told me" wtf ahhahahah
Did the same thing bro
I think the other guy should give you a silver banana.
He kinda already did tho

its not gay if you have your socks on
seriously just be cool about it. You would not believe how many people have hooked up in your office/friend groups/social circles that you would never have guessed; people are good at covering things up. We've all made some questionable decisions while drunk - it's totally normal if you both pretend its normal. I've personally hooked up with 2 of my friends in my closest circle while drunk and hooked up with a professor at my college before I was accepted (never had class but ran into them at a social function) and nobody knows anything about anything
I thought I can keep this a secret but he just added me on LinkedIn. He may like me so I hope he makes VP soon so I can milk him for better deals and promotion. Also, I'm pretty sure he had a sock on but I was too drunk to remember.
honestly just don't worry about it - you're probably fine. If he does become VP, it will be good for your career. However, don't piss him off or offend him - that could be bad for your career. You can't change the past, just be chill about things now and don't worry too much.
I bet you could milk him real good now since you've had some practice
Sounds like you already did
Wait, this is normal in IB? I guess you people weren't joking about the kneepads.
Get a kneepad for gardening - except this time, you're sucking seed and not planting it
Curious how you explained that to your girl. Either way I think you should move on or tell your girl the truth. Especially if you're working together with him
I would advise against telling your girl - if you hooked up with a girl you're best to avoid telling her about it imo, with a guy its 10x worse because people still have terrible stigma against bisexuality (not saying you are) but there's still so many girls who think any guy who has hooked up with a guy are 100% gay and not straight. Most girls aren't cool with it, they think you're gay, and might want to break up. So be cautious and smart.
for the first time EVER, you are dropping solid knowledge and wisdom while also mentioning getting fucked in the ass.
Do NOT tell the girl!!
If it was nothing, and you're trying to minimize it, don't give it any air time. You aired enough here, got it off your chest, vented, DONE.
Over. Next. Accept the LinkedIn, be polite, in 2 minutes he'll know you have a girlfriend (who knows nothing), and it's history.
Do NOT tell her.
He literally said it in his note "excited for you to start ;)" in his LinkedIn request and I never cringed this hard
"babe I always wondered how it is like to suck a dick so I tried it with this dude and it really liked it but don't worry no homo"
I mean don't knock it til you try it lol
phrasing
First I thought you are a dude hooked up with a female associate,..
Then read this sentence "I think I'll be seeing him once we go back to the office" I thought ohhh so you're a female intern...
And then this sentence "We both are guys and straight (at least I am)"...what the fuck lolololol
It's high time that drunk office hook-ups included LGBTs. Jack accidentally banging Karen from compliance or whoever is so 20th century.
"Accidentally"
I'm 100% straight and sck dck because im comfortable with my sexuality
I’m so confused. I can’t tell if people are joking here.
He's mocking OP
actually am quite surprised and happy to see that most people aren't bashing him for being gay but are actually helping him out
it’s 2020 boomer, no one cares if you’re gay
cringe
TEA SO HOT
They had us in the 1st half, not gonna lie
Look I’m sorry but if you’re attracted to other men in the slightest and then acted on it, you must tell your girlfriend. What someone said earlier about girls not being cool with it is true, but you might be surprised. My situation is the reverse and it’s always been better to be honest than have people find out from someone else (worst case). P.S. straight people don’t have sex with the same sex. They almost always stay in the top region lol. Might want to reconsider your definition of “straight”
Might want to upgrade your understanding of human sexuality to v.2020
Straight people have gay sex in 2020?
pathetic
Yeaahhh no, you're not straight if you're having gay sex. If you can be straight while having gay sex then I can identify as gayLGBTQ and benefit from their hiring initiatives even though I only have straight sex
You should endorse him on LinkedIn for persuasion, teamwork, and maybe time management
I haven't laughed that hard in a long time...
Should you be posting here given how oddly specific your story is?
The Associate said he "isn't active" on social media and WSO so I am hoping he doesn't see this. Also, I didn't mention which bank I was at, it could be either one- JPM, GS, or MS so I should be fine
Did he also say he "isn't active" with straight men? Take it with a grain of salt.
What if he’s the active one recommending you to tell your gf so he can date you once you are single.
this has become WSO's most followed post. OP may live to regret this fame.
It's impossible to not opine on this one...who cares about GS vs. JPM, SA vs. FT, when this is posted
You can’t sweat the past too much. Pretend it never happened.
That said, you have to come clean to the GF if you want that relationship to last.
I fail to see why he needs to come clean to his GF. Seems like that's the end of the relationship right then and there.
Soooo agree -
Cool supermarket novel bro.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
what in the whole fuck...between the story, the replies, everything. Not knocking you but in what world would you just hook up with a guy if you're straight. Also, is hooking up with dudes a normal thing (this thread kinda makes it seem that way)?? What is going on hahah
How do you think the non-targets manage to sneak their way into IB?
lmfao salty nontargets throwing MS
lmfao
It's not that it is common to hook up with dudes but this type of office hook ups happens all the time at most places. The funny thing about this post is the fact that it was between an intern(guy) and an Associate(guy) which also happens but no one knows/suppose to know about it.
It's more common than you think. You never had an MD/VP ask you stay late night to "work" on a deal during your intern days ?
Ah, so that's what "face time" means...
It’s as normal as hooking up with chicks if you play for that team (even if it’s only part-time).
Soooo.... did you get the return offer?
This sounds like every frat bro after a game day
someone’s jealous they didn’t get a decent bid
Yeah man NYU has such a big frat presence on campus
?
For all the gays out there in banking.
Do you guys use Grindr to sleep with guys in other divisions of the banks? and do you not find it awkward if one blocks you and you have to work with them?
does the app even work in most offices? Would you advise against using it? it is like the only way I meet people because I am not out
are the LGBT network just another way to meet many peeps and sleep around like in uni.
Also an incoming intern, how do i strike a balance between making a max out of grindr and doing good work.
TBH sex is kinda my drug. so do analyst work so much that they dont have a regular sex life?
Yes, they do! you might wanna change your career at this point.
Also, this isn't necessarily a serious gay Q&A. Everyone is just having fun at the kids' expense and joking. If you have serious questions about gay hookups at your bank you might wanna start a new thread or discuss with your ERG.
what is ERG?
Sounds like Brokeback Mountain.
*bareback mountain
Dude, I sucked my cousin's dick when I was younger. No big deal. We're as normal as can be, don't even talk about it during the holidays.
Yeah I’m not sure about that chief.
wtf same
guess it was just pre-teenage hormones and exploring sexuality
Yo wtf is happening to this website? I can no longer tell the blurred line between sarcasm and reality... We really are in a recession lol
Reminds me of something funny that happened to me once
Sounds like you had pretty good time man
Would you say he used your face as a target? or was it more of a non-target
His face prolly looked like a glazed donut if that Associate did a good job!
hahahah. For a moment i was like wow, he managed to bang female associate as an intern, that's some strong game. Nice troll though
OP now that you've succeeded with a lowly associate you're ready to up your game and try it with the MDs! Good luck
They had us in the first half, not gonna lie.
So...you're a bitch ?
Yeah dude, both of you most certainly are not "straight". No one accidentally hooks up with a dude themselves unless there is some underlying homosexuality within. Straight up.
I suggest you seek professional help because you are bi at best which is no problem, I just think you need a real outlet other than WSO. This is me being honest, and being from LA so I have seen your kind a lot. It's doing you, your gf, your family, and friends no good if you are deep in the closet and think that this situation is normal. What you did is not heterosexual behavior. Please seek the right outlet and I can 100% say WSO is not it.
However, I'm 85% convinced this is a troll attempt, so job incredibly well done here.
he took the bro hug way too far
So I was reading this an was like "well if this person added oyu, probably not a big deal... plus this happens somewhat often, c'est la vie, you'll be fine."
Then you hit us with the "P.S." and I am LOSING it
If this is real, buddy you got more important life stuff to figure out than just a workplace hookup. Good luck with your can of worms.

Here's a new thread for you to follow OP: https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/gay-lifestyle-in-ib
Good luck!
How's your girlfriend these days?
I hadn't visited WSO in ages (a little too old, first made my username over a decade ago).
I missed this kind of trolling.
Who did you mean to hook-up with?
I just realized something. you did this last summer and are posting about it...9 months later? I have several questions
if this is a troll, 10/10.
if this is not a troll, don't sweat it. I had 2 friends mess around with the same sex in/after college after having exclusively hetero relationships. one is back to being hetero (after a weird marriage to the same sex) and the other now has a higher same sex body count (likely was gay all along). both are happy, so I guess what I'm saying is, whatever makes you happy, do it.
You can't hit us with that and not gives us a backstory
details are such that it'd give me away. the theory among our friend group was it was a weird phase but she was never really gay. who knows man
Wtf am I reading
I’m legit crying.... I’m straight I just accidentally suck dudes dick when I drink
is the BB UBS?
Yo WTF is that PS fam? HAHAHAHA
Well this certainly changes how I will read future posts regarding BB.... Jokes aside if your seriously seeking guidance I would consider all the work it took to get to this opportunity, and try to move pass it. If you both really are attracted to women and somehow really just made mistakes then it shouldn't really matter. Hopefully he is as concerned about this as you are about it. I would absolutely address the subject before your working together to make sure your on the same page. If he isn't on the same page that doesn't make him a sexual predator you just have to tell him where you stand.
If your on the fence that certainly will thicken the plot, but regardless avoidance isn't going to make this go away., If your that worried have a couple of drinks before you make the call to discuss, apparently that really helps you relax....j/k..... There's no section in the U4 to report bicurious encounters, so keep it professional and carry on.
Do you think the hours and conditions of the investment banking internship turned you prison gay?
Likely just bad math, overestimated the the FV of his BJ.
your gf: you cheated on me with my slutty gf didn't you? you: no your gf: how else can you explain the HIV? you: my associate, Dan your gf: oh....
I don't know which is worse
Listen Joe, do not sweat it for a second longer. Most of your wallstreet colleagues, associates, drinking buddies, and the folks responding here are likely gay. How else would you describe the constant, daily anal pounding ya'll receive during work hours?
WTF? You were straight, and hooked up with a guy, and now are facing an awkward work hookup conundrum? I have been there with a chick before but jesus in the slight chance this isn't a troll, I would just say cruise and grind status quo on the work, not the bro, and gtfo so you can leave this nightmarish scenario
Silver banana for this story lol :D
Solid trolling
Damn it. Probably the best troll yet. Got me good.
GOAT!
are you sure you are straight? you just don't do something like that even if you are so drunk. just sayin'
And then guys on here wonder why girls aren't interested in them or in a long-term relationship...I don't think any decent woman is going to want you now ... Yuck!
Ahhhh yes, playing the LGBT+ card! Worked like magic for me as well, although giving head to an associate who just pulled a back-to-back all nighter and haven't took a shower in 2 days wasn't so easy.
lol
