I don't know if "gaydar glitch" is the right term to use, but I was wondering. Have you ever swore that someone was gay/bi and liked you back but when you made a move, they turned you down and maybe were weirded out? Was it an embarrassing or awkward experience? Did they stop talking to you? This has never happened to me and I'm not ever trying it. Not unless I'm at a gay club/bar lool.
it could also just mean they don't necessarily liked you back, or are just not ready to come out of the closet just yet. :/
I am sure my gaydar is dead. I have thought that someone was straight and they were gayer than a three dollar bill and the one person I thought was gay(she always dressed in guy cloths and wore rainbows a lot.) ended up being straight and uncomfortable as heck with LGBT themes.
Once there was this girl that I KNEW wasn't straight and there was something going on.... now she has a boyfriend ._.
This is the exact reason I approach people in person. This is why I prefer dating sites you sign up say you're a guy looking for another guy and there are no awkward moments lol
Rarely. It only happens if the guy is "straight looking," is by himself someplace public, hasn't opened his mouth, and, then, later on, makes more intense eye contact, as in WTF. Today, I went to a restaurant in a regular older neighborhood where there were 2 tables where several gay guys and several lesbians were seated, although at separate tables. The lesbians were celebrating one of their birthdays. If the gaydar wasn't working today, then I don't have a pulse! This then raises the question of whether people just look LGBT or try to look LGBT so they can signal to other LGBT people. I've heard both theories.
The question should be "Has you gaydar ever been correct?" My gaydar was purchased from a gas station from the middle of nowhere. My gaydar consists of glitches. There was only one time when I was sort of correct. I saw this cute guy at my sisters guard competition and thought he was cute, but figured he probably was dating a guy. Later on I saw him walking hand-in-hand with his boyfriend...
The other way around. I thought my ex was gay before he started flirting with me and talking about dating girls. Even when we were dating I wasn't the only one that thought he might be gay/bi. I'm still not convinced that was a glitch.
It happens 24/7, mostly because I seem to be that oblivious to what could be flirting. There seems to be a huge blur between that and someone just being nice that I can't bother to try to distinguish. I now just pretty much always toss it under the latter.
