Gymrats & Stalkers: "I Was Assaulted In A Public Restroom"

[Darthphere]

Dude, now you're just being silly. =/

No way is "Date and a movie" even close to sexist qualities.

Actually, this whole argument is about sexist qualities. You guys are stating that just because he used the phrase "Dinner and a movie" that means he wants to visit LS' fudge factory.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

That has nothing to do with sexism, but instead, a very common dating practice of dinner and a movie.

If women being barefoot and pregnant stuck in a kitchen WERE common, then I'd say it's applicable, on some level based on them both being common practices.

But it's not, and dinner and a movie is.

 

[Darthphere]

Okay but here's the difference. I am what you call a "Chris Keller bi-guy." Which means while I'm attracted to men--and not ashamed of that--I don't get on the roof-tops and scream to the world all of my personal business. I'm discreet with what I do behind closed doors. Was I checking Jason out? Yes. Discreetly. He's hot as hell.

But if he was truly "straight" he wouldn't have been catching my eyes would he? I'd think that STR8 guys just wanna get in the shower, do the do, and get out. They are not trying to see who's looking at them. The fact that he kept acknowledging my glances set off my 'dar alarm.

I mean, you can chalk it up to him maybe being uncomfortable or maybe he's a Chris Keller bi type as well, LOL! I mean there's hundreds of explanations other than "OMG HE GAY!" Which he may very well be.

Agreed. I have gone shopping with friends before, albeit not for clothes. I've gone with my guy friends to pick out sound system equipment, cars, motorcycles, ipods and other tech, etc. And maybe while we're out and about we'll stop by Bloomingdales or whatever to see what's up.

But I've never expressedly gone shopping for clothes with any of my STR8 friends. David is the only man I ever did something like that with.

Well I have, mostly, because I have great fashion sense and some of my boys couldn't dress themselves if their lives depended on it. I mean, I don't go into the fitting room with them and ask them how their junk feels but sometimes yeah, guys want to know if they look good in something. Men and women share a lot of the same insecurities, especially when it comes to looks.

No one visits my Fudge Factory. That dock does not accepts shipments from random vendors.

No fly by night deliveries?

It's a lot more common than you think, especially in West Virginia.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Yeah, but West Virginia sucks.

Okay. But do you think he's sending mixed signals? See, while I'm willing to entertain the possibility that he's just an extremely cool guy, I have a hard time believing that a 100% STR8 guy would mail a man he doesn't know that well a...fruit basket. I mean, really? When was the last time you mailed another man something sweet, sugary and fruity Darth?

Good point.

Outgoing packages only.

Good point.

Never. But like I said, I think fruit baskets suck. And sending of fruit baskets is not a very common practice here in Miami. Like I said, who knows, maybe he re-gifted the basket to you LOL!

Mixed signals fo' sho'.

Fruit basket is...odd.

I mean, maybe he's just a REALLY nice guy. I think he's testing the waters with you.

I say just let it ride for now. See what develops.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

The only city I can think of in this country where men send sweet packages to other men is Gayapolis!

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

True. This "water testing" thing may be the case. Only time will tell. I've never given him any indication that I'm interested in men--let alone him. I mean, he could be just a really caring person. I can relate to that: firefighters and cops have to have a measure of love of their fellowman to do what they do.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Just avoid being caught in a restroom with him, and everything should be fine. =D

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Well, I told him I would go with him to the stores--even though I really despise shopping during this time of the year. I will be sure to turn up my Gay-dar Calculator a few notches to "Purple Alert" and see if I can detect anything.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

That's like, the most powerful in the entire spectrum. =O

 

[WompuM]

My final thought. Just go with it. You're having a good time and hey, whatever works. If gets uncomfortable, than stop.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

I'll update you guys tommorrow night when I get back. He wants to treat me out to dinner after we're done shopping.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

If LS doesn't update us w/i 24 hours, I'm calling the police to report an abduction

 

[enterthemadness]

If LS doesn't update us w/i 24 hours, I'm calling the police to report an abduction

Is it not 48 hours?

 

[Metamorpho1977]

*confused*

I'm nothing like those guys...what are you talking about?
.

I meant are you gay? Were there any women with the group you went to the movies with? If he just saw a bunch of guys, maybe he thought, you were fair game.

 

[Darthphere]

Well, I told him I would go with him to the stores--even though I really despise shopping during this time of the year. I will be sure to turn up my Gay-dar Calculator a few notches to "Purple Alert" and see if I can detect anything.

You have to tell me what stores you guys go to. If you go into any "boutique" like stores, GAY!

I meant are you gay? Were there any women with the group you went to the movies with? If he just saw a bunch of guys, maybe he thought, you were fair game.

Either way, that's a ridiculous assumption to make.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Agreed. Hanging out with guys does not constitute gay possibilities.

Go to a public high school, and tell a group a guys they're possibly gay, see where that gets you.

 

[StorminNorman]

Dinner is just another word for "Eating after 6". I mean come on now. I've gone and had "Dinner and a movie" with female friends, doesn't mean I wanted to have sex with them.

Liar.

 

[Darthphere]

Liar.

I swear. Two of my best friends in the whole world are female and I've never seen them in a sexual matter. They're like sisters to me.
