Well, I guess this type of thing would depend on your social circle. I more or less flirt with my friends constantly, even though I'm straight. (I know.) I actually had this hilarious conversation two weeks week ago with my friend B, who informed me he was coming out as being gay (I thought he was just really reserved up till that point). quote:
B: I don't know if I've told you, but I've come out with the fact that I'm gay. T: You joking? (Important question) B: No... T: Wow, dude, that is such a huge dissapointment. B: Really, well I knew some people would react negatively, but I didnt think you... Well, it's ok, I guess, not everyone will be okay with it... T: *Staring away, thinking* No, no, it's not that. I've been flirting with you for the last 3 years and absolutely nothing. I can't even figure out how many consecutive rejections that is... My sexy voice did absolutely nothing for you? B: *Laughing* Ummmm... I.. T: There we go, another rejection. This is so embarrassing. Just, wow. How am I going to recover from this? Then, of course, being the good friend that I am, I apologized for making him uncomfortable during the last 3 years when I would tease him and he wasn't alright with his sexuality. *Sigh* I felt like such a jerk all of a sudden. He hadn't recieved that reaction before. Now, the thing is I don't flirt with men I don't know, since they might get offended! quote:
I'd feel uncomfortable flirting with everyone in the room if my partner was flirting with only half the people-I'd feel restricted. Or something. Well, I can not flirt with everyone out of respect of whomever I'm with, but life is always easier if they don't mind. quote:
Do you think *your* orientation (whatever it may be) matters to them? I would hope not, like I said in the other thread, I can appreciate attractiveness in males and females, and I could go pretty far with it, but all in all I'm still heterosexual and relationships with men have not interested me. But yes, atleast in some cases, you can aqcuire some homosexuality if you put your mind to it.
