Does anyone else do this or am I just a scumbag? I don't take it too the extreme when I do this and I don't get way into it where I end up hurt or something. I just joke and talk to the guys and maybe touch their shoulder or arm. Its weird because when they do find out I'm gay, they just think its funny.
I flirt with em too. But I usually don't know if they are straight or not. But I don't take it to the extreme.
Flirt? With them? What?! I get beast-mode competitive with them. All the stereotypical masculine behavior I will do in order to get their attention. Sometimes I'll touch friends on the arms. That's how I flirt. It's never extreme, we love "playing" around and acting like jerks.(!)
I don't know really how to flirt, but I'm generally more animated around straight guys. Of course, everyone at school thinks I'm a girl and I haven't come out yet.
Coming from someone with a ton of straight guy friends, it's usually not a big deal when they're not close-minded. I'm not that confident when it comes to flirting anyways, but my friends did bring me out of my shell in that case. I just give them a complement and they do that same, no biggie.
Well, I'm straight (Kinsey 1, pretty sure). And taken. And I can tell you that I wouldn't mind if a gay guy hit on me NOT KNOWING I'M STRAIGHT...but if a gay guy hits on me and knows I'm straight, then I get upset.
I don't know how to flirt and even then, I'd be too nervous too because the last thing I'd want to do is make someone uncomfortable. I do compliment straight guys though if I have feeling they won't get offended but it never goes further than that and it rarely happens.
Compliments are one thing. Not acknowledging our sexual orientation and continuing with the flirting after we let you know we're straight, is another. You can't use the "everyone is a little gay" principle because that's simply not true. Like, I wouldn't hit on a lesbian if I knew her sexual orientation.
Nah, I wouldn't go there. Haha. There are so many hot straight guys on those chat rooms I go on it's not even funny
I try not to flirt with them. I really do. I've made some progress over the years, but I still have to put forth some effort at times to rein myself in. The problem is that I often find them more attractive than many gay guys. In similar turn of phrase to what straight girls often say, if he's attractive, he's either taken or straight.
This ^ I love it hahaha. For me the flirting is all good fun. I think the part that I like most is keeping them guessing about what I really want. Some of my closest straight friends have come from flirting (also found some who identified as straight then gave it a second thought after getting to know me a bit more). It's a great way to get to know someone and open up that communication channel. Flirt, make friends, enjoy yourself!
