- Start date
I went to a wedding a couple weeks ago, and my roommate and I drove together. Neither of us had dates to the wedding; we were just meeting a larger group of our friends there. The photographer came around to take pictures of everybody with their dates. So she got around to me and asked who I was with...so I pointed to my roommate and said, "Him."
She got very uncomfortable and was like, "Oh...why don't we just take a picture of the whole table?"
One of my sister's college roommates was getting married, and her friend needed a date. It was in Ohio, and the friend decided to bring me as her date so we could all just have fun together. There were a lot of questioning looks when she went around introducing me as her date all evening.
On topic, I don't think I've ever wondered about this. Come to think of it, I never wonder if two people together are a couple or not.
I do too. Hell, i go grocery shopping with my BFF quite frequently. So who knows what people think of the two of us when we go out? But then again, i don't care.
You're splitting hairs to no apparent end, and you changed my words to do it. The meaning of 'normal' is highly contextual. In some cases it constitutes preferential endorsement, in others not. Obviously this is one of the times in which it did not, and yet the risk was there that my meaning could be misconstrued and so I instead went for 'norm', which drops some connotations from the table (i.e. endorsement) and adds others (i.e. prescriptive) which even more obviously do not apply in this instance. Fat lot of good that did.
Yup, and the moon is made of green cheese. Why not just get straight to the point instead of being evasive and vague? I won't hold your personal perspectives against you.
An interesting, if confusing, comment from someone who announced she was going to 'try' being gay for a while.
For science, you see.
Like Hermoid, if I see a man and a woman together I often assume they're a couple, but if I see two people of the same sex I always assume they're just friends, well unless they're holding hands or kissing or something then I might be a little suspicious. TBH I'm a little slow when it comes to stuff like feelings and people being interested in one another. Unless there's a sign around there next I can't read people for sh*t.

Well i was going to say that it explained a lot, but really i didnt think anyone would have remembered that old thread.

Never underestimate my ability to remember threads that start with the statement that all men are assholes.

Wow that was so long ago...
In that time, ive bought a house, got a promotion, and learned to live life as a single mom.
I dont question my sexuality anymore though. Ive learned a lot of myself over the last three years.
