You can kill me for my dullness, but I don't see any reason for a gay to tell some people that he has a date and a wonderful evening with 'someone', and that he and 'someone' will see each other in the future. If those people are your close friends, or your parents, they know everything about you as it is. If they're not, why should they know anything about your private life (about your relations with your girlfriend or a boyfriend, whatever)? If you can't keep your private life in secret (how it should be, from my point of view) and want to tell everyone about it, it's your problem. But there are many problems in life.
