Hmm. I was coming out of a 12 yr marriage to an alcoholic who cheated on me with the local tramp. You caught a brief glimpse into my life. A moment in time where i was an unhappy woman, questioning the validity of love and the goodness of people, men in particular. I would say that ive always known that, but thank you for asking.
I'm not on anyone's case, sorry for any misunderstanding. I just thought her comment earlier was odd in that context.
I don't usually make assumptions either way. (Unless I'm attracted to one of the guys and then I might try to discreetly figure it out.)
I go out to dinner with my friends all the time, I've never once considered that other people might think we're a gay couple. Sure, people look at me, but that's cause i'm awesome.
I don't think it's fair that just because I share my straw with my male friend that I'm automatically thought gay. WTF?
It gets uncomfortable when a gay man tries to grab your hand. Happened to me during a break from classes last year. Felt bad for the guy. I can obviously see why he'd be attracted since we had just been talking about hair gels.
Nothing wrong with that. When I have dinner with someone it's because I want to enjoy a good meal AND their company. Romantic dinners with the opposite sex are always fun but it's not the only reason to share a meal.
