err also “right team” was meant in particular that she would hook up with **Auto** :smack: now I’m gonna get jumped for being a homophobe while I’m out at a gay party and unable to defend myself.

As every woman who ever fell for a gay guy knows, you can’t get someone to change teams. Ain’t gonna happen.  
[/QUOTE]

What if you have a sex change? A little “drastic” to some, maybe,\* but if it’s true love at stake…

\*Probably the same folks who think my solution for solving global warming is too “drastic,” too. Hey, the sun’s not going to block ITSELF out, people!

Your meaning was clear enough. I think you’re good to go. 😉

Could be worse.

While in the middle of some hot and heavy with me, a woman stopped and told me that she had decided that she was gay.

On the bright side, Muffin, I’m reasonably sure that that qualifies for a toaster.

[QUOTE=Autolycus]  
It was at a bar. My fifth shot. Me and this girl are pretty good friends. Trust me, she was not offended in the slightest. I was joking too; however, if she had said “OK is Saturday good for you” it would have made me ponder.  
[/QUOTE]

k. Your OP made it sound like you had just met two weeks before. Hence my response. 🙂

We did just meet two weeks before. You dont believe it’s possible to become very good friends in two weeks? Was that a real smiley face? Do you hate me? AM I GETTING FAT?! /sobs.

Sure, but like any other way of hitting on someone, it’s more welcome the more they want to do it with you. For example, I once secured a threesome by picking up on the two girls’ hints, doing them a favor (driving them to a trolley stop) and waiting for the right moment to make a “ha-ha-only-serious” come-on. (One of the girls said “Thanks so much for the ride, I don’t know how we can repay you”, and I said simply, “Threesome.” It worked.)

But, yeah, if you’re in the just-met stage and you say “Lesbians are hot! Let’s have a threesome!” you’re just about guaranteed to be shot down. Especially if that “girlfriend” of hers is just a friend who’s just a girl.

As for “You dont believe it’s possible to become very good friends in two weeks”, you seem to have misspelled “You don’t believe it’s possible to fall right into the friends zone in two weeks?”

Good lord! I just chewed someone out for resurrecting a zombie–and I went and did it again. :smack:

Had a girlfriend who had been living with another woman when she met me. Thing was, due to considerations of personal respect and privacy, I couldn’t brag about it. Until now.

So I take it she was less than impressed by your hot and heavy antics.

There are some really good books out to help you 😛

Since this thread will likely get shut down, I’ll put this here.

Darn you, **Autolycus**. I was participating in that SDMB unwritten rules thread thinking that I’m actually participating only to go back and find it closed down for being a zombie thread that YOU knowingly resurrected. Gah!!

There was a news story about 15 years ago about a man who had a sex-change operation and then married a lesbian. Now THAT’S true love. If you feel strongly enough about her …

Yeah! Lighten up, **fetus**!!

😃

That was me you snarked-by in the other thread.  
Jeez! I’m sorry! It was an accident!

The good news is that I now get the Mrs. Hathaway reference, although I still cannot fathom when “wigger” came to be racist or how I missed it.

Err, **Auto** , good luck with that.
