Gay attention

Several times. All back when I was still in denial. >.<

 

A couple of times. Most of them have been when I started college, can't remember any before that. It feels weird, I'm not that confident, so I first treat it as a coincidence, if it persist or I can see patterns that involve me, then I can say "yeah he's flirting" :lol:

 

Not really

 

NOPE.

A countless number of men have hit on me, but NO women have...



It's ruff bein' in the closet...

 

Never

This, exactly.

 

A girl who was a few years older than me hit on me repeatedly, and it didn't make me uncomfortable but I was definitely in a zone I had not entered before.

 

Possibly none?

Um...I'm thinking really hard, because I've never been *directly* hit on (that is, asked out), but there are other ways of receiving 'attention' that aren't as direct as quite that, and I've been in the closet even to myself for an awfully long amount of time. So, I kind of have to think back and do some post-game analysis, as it were. :icon_bigg

I think I have gotten 'looks'/'leaning' type of attention, before. Some 'giving me energy' (as they say) eye contact. But I'm a big dunce and often it hasn't been until long after the moment that I've analyzed it and gone, "Huh. You knowww........ *headscratch*"

lol

Also: I think once you're not in denial about yourself any more, and have come to some level of acceptance, it then still takes a while to re-orient your mind to even recognizing a "hitting on" from the same sex. Because if you've spent a lot of years in denial to yourself, you've been actively conditioning your brain not to "see" the same sex that way, nor interpret any of their behaviors or actions as having any romantic or sexual intention toward your person, at all. (Sometimes even if, by any other standard, it would appear to be quite blatant.)

 

1. I've been told by others used to have a crush on me (although he's denied said claim)
2. Is currently my boyfriend (and possibly will end up being my husband < that felt really good to type)
3. Seemed like he may have had a crush on me, by the way he was acting around me.
4. I was messaged on FB consistently about asking for sex until I blocked him.

The rainbow pin does wonders.

 

Occasionally I'll get a comment from a woman that makes me raise an eyebrow, but I can't be sure it's flirtatious and not someone who's very friendly to strangers.

When I came out to my friends as bisexual in my teens, there was a mixture of surprise and "duh" reactions. I don't think I come across that way to many people.

 

Strangely enough I used to get hit on by girls the majority of the time. Which was pretty awkward when I had to tell them I was gay!

 

I've had a few girls hit on me in my life time. It went no where. I've had zero guys hit on me. Guess I don't give off the gay vibe or they didn't find me interesting.

 

I've never been hit on by men, that I know of. There are four reasons for this: I am hideous, they don't know I'm gay or are afraid to make a move, they have hit on me but I don't recognize the signs or, a combination of all of the above. :lol:

 

Pft. You are not hideous.

 

Never.
It's mostly my fault for not being the most attractive guy out there, but I've noticed that on the internet some guys will say the cutest stuff about me but in person or in gaybars no one has approached me. There was even this guy who saw me at a gaybar and then found me on facebook and texted me his interest, so maybe it's not my fault that some guys are too shy - then again maybe it is(?) :S

 

I've always been hit on by guys a lot more, not sure why.

 

online a few times, never in person

 

I have been hit on by both women and men multiple times. I've been told that it is pretty obvious that I'm gay, so I guess that does play into things. But, to make this thread fair and not put this all on other people, How many times have you hit on someone of the same gender? For me, I would have to say that I have not always been the best at initiating if I was attracted to another guy. I usually just secretly pine from far away and hope to be noticed. (I know it's spineless.)

 

Apparently I'm quite obviously gay, yet I still get men try and hit on me and openly flirt with me. Either they're trying to test the water and see how I respond, or actually fancy me haha. I'm a bit oblivious so usually other people have said to me "didn't you realise that guy was trying to flirt with you?" whoops.

 

Weirdly enough, quite a lot. When I wasn't out to anybody, girls never gave me a second look, so I just assumed the guys would avoid me too. Since I came out Ive had 8-10 in the past 2 months.
