So I have often heard ya'll ladies complain about being nice to a gentleman only for them to immediately think you wanna hook up.
I was on both sides of that yesterday.
Most of the time I wouldn't care about a random man going ass over heels into the river.
But at Lucinda's last night I was trying to make a good impression. So whenever boys talked to me about my guitar etc. I was my playground happy nine-year-old self and gave them a friendly reply.
And they all took that as I was gay and wanted to fuck them.
When it happened for the third time the light bulb went on in my head: "Ah. This is what girls gripe about."
Now I get it.
And gay men flirt exactly the same as straight men. Full steam ahead. The aggressor. Except I was the target instead of the torpedo.
But twice the situation was reversed.
I was approached/talked to by two really, really sexy mesdemoiselles.
Both seemed super interested in me and I said "jackpot" to myself.
Only to learn soon after they were taken, and they were just being friendly to a new musician.
"Damn". Not the first time that's happened.
I've gotten approached by girls in relationships a bunch now. Because they "can't have what they want" (me), but my desire in return gives them an ego boost.
They get an attractive man to be super into them, then go back to their boyfriend who treats them like "the usual".
Or maybe that's just me proving your point.
Either way, my girlfriend when I meet her will never be "the usual".

Later I was outside smiling to myself thinking how "I got used" in the nicest way. Cause they were really hot. And even their pretend flirtation was gasoline on my fire.
Back to the boys. I am getting new tshirts made. On the sleeves I'm adding "I'm not gay go away".
