    Do you think it counts if it happens in the middle of conversation... All the time? I have a coworker who I know is a lesbian but I don't know if she knows about me. We exchange these looks all the time. All the time.

    i was looking for a thread like this and so happy i found it, i feel like i do it too much (i work in a bar) and despite being mostly closeted have outed myself unspokenly with my eye-slutiness.

    anyone any more thoughts on the gaydar?

    I think it does work but not always. For example, the lesbian could be autistic (we tend to avoid eye contact), shy, or uninterested in total strangers. I'm all three. I feel like I get pegged for straight often because of it.

    I'll go ahead and second this. I'll very thoroughly avoid strangers, and I have to know someone very well to maintain eye contact. I'm hoping it won't be that bad when I live somewhere more rational though.
