let me help you tune your gaydar

[smileyeagle1021]

Since other people brought up the amusing coming out stories, I might as well add mine too (while I'm waiting for my fiance to come to bed... I know, you all wanted to know that little bit of information )
With one of my friends in Reno (he's going to be my best man by the way, if that shows you how far back we go), we went to the Silver Legacy to play Pai Gow Poker (love Pai Gow Poker ) and we were on a table with a flamboyant dealer, a gay couple, and a lesbian couple, as we were walking out of the casino and back to my car he said "wow, we were like the only two straight people on that table" and I responded "I hate to break it to you, but..."
He just stopped me and said "finally, it's about bloody time you admit it"
I love my friends

Hmm I wonder if that would work for me. Gather up all my friends, sit them down and do this. "Guys, I have something to admit. It's hard for me to say, but a lot of you have asked..so I think it is time I come clean." pause for effect. "Dear friends and loved ones, I have to tell you..I am Straight. I know, some of you might be dissapointed..."

Case in point. I am traveling soon to meet up with my 'Special Other', first question out of my mother's mouth (whom I told of course) is "Its a female ... right?" I felt like saying "No, it's an Aardvark."

...yes, but a MALE or a FEMALE aardvark?

Hmm I wonder if that would work for me. Gather up all my friends, sit them down and do this. "Guys, I have something to admit.

I know, some of you might be dissapointed..."

Actually I have a friend who did more or less the same, at a party. Unfortunately it was not TOO funny, as nobody suspected he might have been gay anyway... maybe because of how he kept staring at a female friend's abundant chest...

Lol Whiskey, I actually do have to tell people I am straight. Because a sensitive, caring, attentive, guy who actually LISTENS can't be straight. Right?

Fiance got mistaken as gay all the time in high school, since he wore preppy clothes and did his hair.

My best guy friend in the Army was gay. We had tons of fun going shopping at the mall and checking out guys.

One of Fiance's coworkers really shows that you can't figure out who is gay unless they start talking about their significant other. He is gay, but doesn't dress well (they made a rule about no sandals in the office just for him), normally looks pretty scruffy, would rather go camping than stay in a luxury hotel, and goes to church every week.

I need a more finely tuned gaydar. I hardly ever pick up on the fact that a man is gay. Which can cause some problems.

And has.

I may have been hit on by a woman, a few years ago - I was in a bookstore, she worked there, and she asked if she could help me. I told her I was fine, I was just looking out the window, and she stood there staring at me without taking her eyes off my face. It was very intrusive, but since I've never had a woman do that to me, I didn't know how to react.

I'm going to join in here with my favorite coming out story.

(Scene - Mom, sister, and I are walking out of 20th my birthday dinner)

Me - So who's driving me back to campus?

Sister - I think mom, unless she has to get back to her girlfriend, M. (She was joking...)

Mom - Yeah, I'm gay. And M is my girlfriend. So?

Sister and I look at each other.

Sister - Nailed it!

Me - So...that means your driving me back, right mom?

Mom - Really?

Me - What did you expect?

Mom - I don't know, a reaction?

Me - ok, how about "Interesting choice for a birthday present, mom."

Cue sister's pointing and laughing at our blushing mother.

Ah! Awesome!! I love it!
... I'm unfortunately straight. You'll see what I mean in a second.
The short of it is, I got bit on the thigh by a nearly-complete stranger, and I didn't realize she was flirting with me until about six hours later. Thigh. Bite. Six hours.
Eh. It was better than when I got slapped on the tukus by a team-mate when I was into lacrosse. I didn't figure that one out for a few weeks.
Both are still head-scratching moments for me, followed by a strange, flattered sense.
This is how I know I'm not into girls, as pretty as some of them are.

[Mytical]

Don't feel bad, a female would pretty much have to hit me with a clue by four. Of course people tell me I am a 'natural flirt', whatever that is, but totally clueless about it.

[smileyeagle1021]

Mytical, better than my problem, online I am a natural flirt, in real life I can't get two words out (which is why I'm grateful I'm already engaged and don't have to worry anymore )

[Mytical]

Well see I don't get it though. I am epically shy in real life. Yet, I am a flirt (or so I am told). I am very polite, and will talk to somebody when they talk to me, but I have real personal space issues (and especially enclosed spaces with crowd issues). So .. not sure how I am a flirt.

I have no game. I'm like "hey, i'm bored you want to screw?"

Yeap, whiskeys a mack.

Well, judging from the majority of comments from males that I've gotten, that's really what's needed. A clue-by-four.

And I've gotten hit by a clue-by-four, and gotten all stuttery and "lolwhut?," so... yeah.

[Mishi]

Despite the beliefs of my mother and the people I attended high school with, I am in fact straight. I must admit though, childishly saying 'So there' and sticking my tongue out to emphasize my point was not the best way to end a long explanation about how I find some women aethetically pleasing but not sexually attractive.

Better than my pick-up lines. Anatomical, severely suggestive, and tend to make security at the place a little more than concerned about my being in the building.

Okay, so one of those overly-rude lines helped me get my current girlfriend three years ago, but most of the time, they got me thrown out...

I've had guys run away terrified because of it. Then again, i target computer nerds.

Computer nerds hate women who have sex, in my experience. idgi.
