    Ok! So i came out to my first complete random stranger, well, sort of, Ill just tell you the story from the beginning:

    So i stopped off at Wendys with two friends of mine, both girls, for lunch today after we all got off uni because of canceled classes. We got our food, but my one friends chicken burger had to be fried up so we had to wait. We sat down and were just chatting waiting for the burger when this guy sitting down the row from us scooted on over and asked if he could borrow a cell phone for a few minutes. My friend, like the stupid person she sometimes is, gave him hers. He started to text someone, so we kept talking. Slowly but surly though, the guy started to strike up convo with us. I forget alot of the convo because it was SO random. It started off about needing to contact someone...something about an aunt or something...then he started talking about a porche...and a key for the porche...then he asked how to spell porche...then he started talking about his sweedish escort.....then he talked about how he plays soccer proffesionaly...then he asked how to spell "Matthew", his own middle name....then he talked about his firefighter finance or something....and it went on...and on.....my one friend left to get a refill of pop, and then the convo just got WEIRDER....he asked us if we were prepared for Christmas break from school.....and asked us if he should leave his woman for this escort...and how the escort really loved him....and she owned a porche....and she makes 12 grand a week....and she loves him for being a soccer player....and on and on and ON. The burger would not come, and he still had the phone, so we didnt know what to do.

    Ok, so thats all just set-up for what happened next. Out of the BLUE he leans over and bluntly asks me "Are you gay?". For the record, i was wearing normal looking jeans with a black hoodie and a black baseball cap, nothing gay looking. I never said more than two words at a time to the guy either. He just bluntly asked it out of NO where! Of course, i instantly replied "Yes, i am" without hesitation (something i am very proud of myself for! I didnt even have to think about it). He just told me how cool that was, how he thought i was so brave, ect. ect. ("yay me" talk) And THEN...he told me he was straight, got up, and gave me a huge hug. Then he told me i stuck out like a sore thumb and that he has a good eye for these things because "hes a soccer player and goes to clubs". Right after this, the burger came and we RAN for the car and left.

    The guy was very sketchy looking and had very stained teeth, so we think he was a smoker (...of some kind haha). He seemed to not be completely with it. I mean, the guy thinks its Christmas in February, yet he can spot a gay man whos wearing a black hoodie and jeans and does not say a word to him? Needless to say this experience kinda blew me away. I always knew i was not at all "straight acting", but i never knew it was so obvious to everyone else. I actually think this is a good thing. If i can show up on some whacked out straight guys radar, then maybe a nice guy will be able to spot me and who knows, maybe he will confront me too. And im not someone (at ALL) whos ashamed of "being gay" or "looking gay" or "acting gay" so this is not like a negative thing for me. The whole thing is just so...weird....

    :eek: Wow. I was going to put 'LoL' but that just doesn't say it. Craziness! You are awesome! I can't say I'd have handled the situation as well as you did due to the sheer randomness of it all! Nice job! :thumbsup: Thanks for sharing!

    I would have been holding a bottle of pepper spray by the time he asked for the phone...

    that is why I will never smoke, do drugs, or drink...

    That was very entertaining...i was definitely laughing as I read it. It's hard to choose but the best part was him asking how to spell his own middle name :lol:

    Wow. That's very creepy. If some random stranger after finding out I was gay like that hugged me, I would threaten his life in the most severe and unwavering fashion I could possibly muster.

    Greg, I don't think it's weird at all. You live in the lower Mainland, the nesting grounds for the Great Canadian Loonie. It's mating season right about now and they're all over the place........

    Greg, as I said in chat, this is an epic story, and I mean it. Awesome job handling the situation, and that guy is some real...character, that is for sure. :grin: It is not every day you get a complete stranger to walk up to you and start conversing about random topics, and no matter how weirded out you may be, it is still an awesome story XD

    I like how the guy said his 'gaydar' is accurate bc he is a soccer player and goes to clubs...does that mean a lot of gay guys hit on soccer players? Funny.
