I can remember obviously getting hit on by gay men only twice in my life. Once was a couple years ago in Baltimore when I was at a bar. This middle aged guy put his hand on mine and asked to buy me a drink. I said that I had enough money to buy myself a drink, but it was nice of him to ask. He then replied that he just wanted someone to talk to, so I bought him a drink instead and chatted with him for a bit. I'm a sucker for a sad face and a sob story, haha. He had just broken up with his boyfriend (or so he said) and was lonely. I told him to get some more confidence and try talking with some people. At this point he must have been puzzled as hell, because he was like "that's what I'm trying to do" !!! I think I led him on a little bit, I should have said "I'm not gay" a little earlier in the conversation, but later I saw him dancing with someone so maybe things turned out well for him.
Last week I went into Pier One Imports to buy my girlfriend a vase for the flowers I had bought her. According to my friends, not a lot of straight guys pick out vases from Pier One, haha. I went up to the counter to pay for it, the attendant said that I had good taste and asked who the vase was for. I said it was for my girlfriend, and he said "she's a lucky lady". I seriously laughed out loud and said "thanks man, I'll have to tell her that later". Then he proceeded to ask me if I wanted him to use his employee discount for the purchase, saying it would be "our little secret". So yeah, being nice to people pays sometimes, literally, haha. I kind of feel bad, but since he offered I guess it's no biggie.....especially since he knew I had a girlfriend.
Anyway, sorry to bore people, but honestly.......why would you be so upset if a gay guy hits on you?? I'm seriously flattered when anyone finds me attractive, and I usually crack and ear to ear smile when I get compliments like that. Also, it's not about having a certain "look" in my opinion, although I'm sure some of the gay members on the board might disagree with me. I think it has to deal more with the way you act, if you look people straight in the eye and smile when you meet them, etc. When I was in Pier One, I was wearing a dirty baseball hat, a Misfits shirt with a skull on the front of it, some Docs, and a pair of scruffy jeans.......plus I had a pretty rough 5 o'clock shadow. It's nice to know that I can still look attractive to someone when I look like a bum, haha.
Edit: Also, this is a bit off topic, but is Acqua Di Gio cologne a fragrance that a lot of gay men wear or something? I fucking love the way it smells, but my girlfriend said the only guys she knew that wore it were gay. That sounds very odd to me, didn't figure certain smells were gay, hahaha.....either way, it's staying on my sink, it's my favorite scent.
