Although that never happened to me before, a girl asking you for your sexual preferences could be a IOI in disguise, a way of saying "How dare you not pay attention to me?".
What I would do (if the girl had already established eye contact before).
I would walk towards her, slowly, and calmly respond with "Oh... I know what you're thinking... The best ones are either married or gay...". Then touch her chin and get closer, and just add "Well, I'm single!". Have a very short pause, keep looking in her eyes, and then kiss her.
Then walk away, saying "Does this answer your question?".
The reasons I'd prefer this kind of (positive) approach:
1. You don't just defensively say you're not gay. It means you don't come accross as homophobic.
2. DHV. Enough said.
I like this approach. I get asked quite alot, not because i'm outwardly camp, but I think it's because women aren't used to being talked to in the way in which we approach. Most AFC's wade in with the same old bullshit. Therefore in their minds anyone a little more intelligent and sensitive must be gay. This has been a sticking point for me now for a while. But think the suggestions in this thread will help!
