how on earth do people actually manage to ask out a guy and not get punched in the stomache because their gaydar was off?
suss him out a bit first, talking is usually the best bet. it takes time to differenciate friendliness from attraction (especially when you have the hots for him) but it does get easier. that, or just go after complete flamers who couldn't possibly be mistaken as straight.
You don't ask him out first. You chat with thim, and give him some open-ended questions meant to suss him out. "Have you ever been to (gay bar)?" "Are you dating anybody right now?" If he gives generally encouraging responses, you can at least ask without fearing a violent response. Lex
Good question, and it doesn't seem to get any easier when you're older. My problem is that if I think the guy is hot or gorgeous, my composure falls to pieces and I start to think that I'm being really obvious! Still, it's worthwhile trying; so good luck to us all!!!! Hope it works for you, Kayar. X
Text him that you love him. If it doesn't work, say that it was a joke. One of my friends has tried. Ended up with a punch in his face. It was like a funny gay movie for the moment.
scout him out first find out his interests and when you know him well enough ask about his past relationships and find out his sexuality
I actually applied for a job there once. I would've stopped by to say hi, but you were...let's see... ...two years old. Lex
You think being in Orlando I would have better luck, but random guys on the street kind of hard to tell. But my gaydar is totally messed up, never worked actually.
