    Like "You like so and so?" or "You get her number yet?". What are some decent responses to get them to quit bugging you, but without telling them you're gay?

    I laugh. Even same sex. Only one person that have liked has been guessed. And that was after I stopped liking him.

    I usually say things like "They're good-looking but I've seen better".

    If you're in the closet, just say, "No, I hear she sleeps around. I don't want an STD."

    That's a bit callous though, so maybe you should say, "Nah, she's not my type."

    Or.. "I have my eye on someone else - but mind your own business and don't inquire into my personal life THANK YOU VERY FUCKING MUCH."

    Or, you know, anything you want.

    But then you'd be in danger of being asked "So what is your type?" and in my school if you say that you are immediately suspected as gay (of course, things will probably be different in your school).

    Why don't you just tell them that you don't like the particular girl they're asking about?

    When people ask me, I just usually answer "nah, not really". And when they ask why, I just tell them "she's not really my type". And that'll usually do it

    When I'm asked that sort of thing, I usually have no idea who the person is talking about.

    Me: "who?"

    What's the motive behind the question, anyway? Or rather, why specifically that person?

    I've heard some people will ask their friends to ask their crush if he/she likes them, so they know whether they have a chance with that person.

    There is no good response for me. I'm the kind of person who gets very awkward very quickly, so people have a tendency to push the issue even after I say no. And if I say I like someone else, they'll keep trying to guess the person. Which just embarrasses me more, because they don't believe me when I say they're wrong and keep pressing the issue.

    I just say, "Nah, I haven't reached the age of liking boys yet."
    It works, even though I'm almost an adult now. :roflmao:

    If I like them I admit it, If I don't I admit, unless the person is present then I offer no comment.

    If some one asks if I like women, I always say yes. But no one has ever asked me if I like guys, so I am not lying to them, they just know a half truth since I am Bi.

    My answer tends to be, "She's nice, but I'm not really looking for a relationship."

    If they keep asking, they sound stupid. If they try to spread the word to make you look bad, (they are still stupid) then you keep the answer. It's a win-win.

    Not really. You describe your type but instead of saying him or her say "someone" like "someone who is good looking, fun loving, etc". Doubt they'll think otherwise.
