Tom Daley: Love At First Sight

During an interview on The Jonathan Ross Show, he described being struck by “love at first sight” when he first met his beau, but admitted that making the decision to finally come out was “terrifying”.
“I’d never felt like anything like it before. We were at a party and I hadn’t even spoken to him all night. I didn’t know what to do or if he was gay at first.
“I typed ‘call me’ in his notes with a smiley face on this phone and the next day he texted. He makes me feel safe and happy, right now I couldn’t be happier.”
“I’d never felt the feeling of love, it happened so quickly, I was completely overwhelmed by it to the point I can’t get him out of my head all the time,” he continued. “I’ve never had it before where I love someone and they love me just as much.”
However, the Olympic diver, 19, stopped short of confirming – or denying – that the man he is in a relationship with is Black, 39. Asked why he had chosen not to identify his lover, Daley said: “At the moment, I wouldn’t like anything to change.
“I hope it doesn’t get ruined by the media attention, everyone has been so supportive and I hope it continues that way.”



On why he hadn’t come out sooner, the sportsman said: “I felt like there was something wrong with me, I didn’t know other people out there felt that way, I felt so alone, so locked away and couldn’t say anything.
“Now that everyone knows, I have nothing to hide, those chains that I felt wrapped around me are gone and I can carry on with my life as normal and be happy...”
“Everything is all pretty new so I don’t see any point in putting a label on it - gay, bi, straight, any of those kind of labels.
“All that I feel happy about at the moment is that I’m dating a guy and couldn’t be happier, it shouldn’t matter who I’m dating and I hope people can be happy for me.”


The Independent, who have titled this article, Tom Daley says 'it was love at first sight' with boyfriend Dustin Lance Black, despite admitting in the small print neither Tom or Dustin has confirmed this at the time of typing.
Fagburn thinks they'd make a lovely couple and would love this to be true, and despite many media now stating it as fact, thus far we have no evidence.
Please also note Tom is not labelleing himself as gay or bi "at the moment".
I'll still say he's gay, though.
PS And inevitably here's the Daily Mail's dirt-digging article on Dustin! 
All stuff we've heard before - barring some daft speculation that Tom was "under the influence" of the evil svengali DLB when he made that video.
In another Mail 'Right Minds' [sic] piece Stephen Glover says Tom Daley is manipulating us all!!!
