Someone once thought I had the same attitude. I was describing a party I was at in New Orleans in which a guy (or two) after I told him I wasn’t gay, joked something to the effect of, yeah, maybe I wasn’t gay, but who knows what would happen after enough drinks.
Someone later mentioned that they were flirting with me. I thought that that was pretty obvious, so I responded something to the effect of that they were drunk. The person who mentioned their flirting with me probably thought that I thought that when straight guys are drunk they flirt with everyone.
I didn’t mean that. I meant that even if they were gay men, they’d have to be drunk to flirt with me :smack:
i’m not really sure what the underlying assumptions are here…I am a straight man, and don’t flirt…never have when I had a relationship…and I am presently married. Even when I was single (as best as I can recall…) flirting was pretty much directed at a particular person.
I may be funny that way. At any rate, flirting is fun, and I encourage it at whatever levels are appropriate for the two (or more) humans involved.
So OP, you are no doubt very attractive, but the dude is kinda like me. (Notice how a mild flirtation is slipped in there. No harm no foul.
Straight guy who’s hung out with plenty of sober straight guys while sober. We flirt with each other and make straight-out homoerotic proposals and references (that will never come to pass because we’re straight).
People is weird.
ETA: And no, the words “no homo” are not involved because being homosexual isn’t a bad thing. Making flirty jokes just ups the percentage of lame jokes and references we can make.
That said, as a Gay guy, in my youth I saw lots of “straight” guys flirt with me after a few drinks, knowing I was Gay - but I would put those guys into the “closeted” category - and usually you could just ignore it - but often these same guys would get kind of pissed off when you didn’t leap at the chance.
I have also seen many instances of hetero women with a few drinks in them getting royally pissed off when their flirtations didn’t work on a Gay guy. Sometimes they would know the guy was Gay, but often they didn’t - either way, was interesting to see how annoyed a woman can also be when her flirtations are ignored/spurned.
And of course it is always interesting to see some half drunk guy hit on a Lesbian and be shocked to discover she had no interest whatsoever.
I chalk it up to the supposed magical mystery powers of seduction people feel they have after a few drinks and think they are making an offer nobody could refuse.
Wrong. Quite easy to refuse - even if sexually compatible.
Many years ago I was at a dinner party. I was introduced to this one lady, who for no reason at all, seemed rather standoffish to me.
Later on that evening said girl is talking to one of her friends. She’s making sure she’s speaking loudly enough so that I can hear her: “Look at him. I think he’s gay. See how polite he is and he’s so well dressed”
Even though I wasn’t a part of her stupid conversation, I felt compelled to jump in and tell her I’m not gay. Her response was a rude one “Are you sure?”.
We had a rather long and contentious conversation after that. Which eventually, somehow led to us boinking each other at the end of the night. Not sure how that happened but it happened.
OK, I’m not really sure what this has to do with the thread. I just felt like bragging.
