| Hey,
Out in Stourbridge, very up for a social night out... I was having real fun by just chatting with loads of random people... Trying to work on that social character...
Anyway, there is a guy and a girl standing in a fairly empty space... They are chatting, but rather low energy, and both seem a little bored... In wades Pose (my first mixed set, even if it is only 2 people)!
Hey guys (to the guy) do I look gay?!
He says no... Girl says erm...
I start to explain that a guy had come up to me at the bar and offered to by me a drink and the girl cuts me off, saying "I haven't decided yet"! There was a bit of banter about how I was standing etc. In the end she says:
Her: Well, you don't look gay, but you don't exactly look straight... you look like a straight guy who takes care of himself...
Me: Is that a good thing?!
Her: Well, put it this way, you're like my cousin, he isn't gay, but he takes care of himself, and he is very good with women, so it works for him!
I really am starting to believe that I give off a "pretty boy" image... I don’t know whether it is a good thing, or a bad thing!
Anyway, we chat a little, she gets into the conversation that the guy is her 'friend'... I will take that as an IOI...
After some more chat, about her name and things, I eject, saying it has been awesome to meet them, and I hope they have a good night...
Her: and you! Enjoy your flirting!
Now, my question, what could I have said to that? Should I go with the option of: "Yep, I'm flirting! It's really fun isn't it?!"
Or...
"Stop hitting on me, you're cool, but you’re not my type?!"
Or…
“I am flirting, but I bet most guys wouldn’t flirt with you because you are with a guy, they would be scared!”
I have had this a couple of times now... I'm thinking that I don't disqualify earlier in the interaction, which causes this "obviousness"…
Your advice is very much appreciated…
