As the only straight man that served the night shift (9pm-7am) this happened a lot.
One example I was a server at what is fondly referred to as the ‘GayHop’ which is an IHOP located adjacent to the Boys Town neighborhood of Chicago. “Awkwardly (this applied to both sexes btw). He proceeded to return to my restaurant every week for the next 3 months to ask if I were ready yet. Sorry.’ Always flattering and I don’t mind sitting and chatting afterwards.”ĩ. Basically, unless someone flat out asks me ‘hey, wanna date?’ I’m far too slow to pick up hints.īut if they do ask and I get it: ‘um, thanks…that’s really nice but I’m straight. “With the same total lack of awareness as when a man flirts with me.
“My mom always told me, ‘you don’t have to go to the party, but it’s nice to be invited.’ It’s stuck with me and taught me about acceptance.” You don’t have to go to the party, but it’s nice to be invited. I take it back, considering the number of girls who’ve led me on, it feels good to do it to someone else.”ħ.
Plus it feels nice to actually be pursued. But flirting is fun and this way it’s pretty low pressure for me since I never have to worry about them seeing my penis. I guess I feel bad that I might be leading someone on. If that’s you please take a course about sexual harassment because you are a shit person.” “Not a problem until you meet one of those ‘you’re only straight because you haven’t tried it’ types. Not a problem until you meet one of those ‘you’re only straight because you haven’t tried it’ types. It’s not a big deal, just let them know you don’t swing that way and respect them for the confidence it took to approach you.” “Honestly flattered, feel like a hot piece of ass. Gay men have ridiculously high standards and the fact that they think they can make a lover out of this Sasquatch is adorable.” The fact that they think they can make a lover out of this Sasquatch is adorable. “ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED that someone would lower their standards to such a repulsively low bar.”Ģ.
