Love: Today, I went on the best date I've been on in years. Later on,...

Today, I went on the best date I've been on in years. Later on, over drinks we get talking and I explain how I came out to my friends and family. When I ask him how he came out, he replies that he isn't gay, and oh, did I think this was a date? FML

Today, I finally got the courage to ask my best friend to go on a date with me. She assumed I meant a double date and squealed, "Who's the lucky guy?!" She thought I was her gay best friend for the past year. FML

Today, after weeks of summoning up the courage to come out of the closet to my best friend, I told her I was gay. Immediately after she started cracking up, thinking it was a joke. I was so confused and nervous, I went along with it. She still thinks I'm straight. FML

Today, my good buddy of about two years set me up on a blind date. I got to the meeting point and realized that my date was a guy. My "buddy" honestly thought I was gay. FML

Today, I had a date with a guy. We ran into our gay friend at the theater, who insisted on coming along. My date was pissed, but I couldn't turn our friend away. Afterwards, my date texted our friend, mad because he crashed the date. Turns out he isn't gay. And only crashed it because he likes me. FML

Today, I thought I was going on a date. About 20 minutes into it, after giving her my arm to hold (like a true gentleman) it came up in conversation that my brother is gay. Her response: "Oh, so both you and your brother are gay?" FML

Today, I went on a date with a beautiful woman I had recently met. Great food, great conversation, and a great connection. That is, until she revealed that she is a lesbian. FML

Today, I told my best friend that I was gay and that I liked him. Turns out he's very open about the topic. Basically, he kissed me and then slapped me. I don't know what that's supposed to mean. FML

Today, I went on a date for the first time in eight months. He didn't make a move. I then asked if we were on a date. He said, "I don't know, I guess." I can't tell either. FML

Today, my friend told me that she gave my number to a guy I've liked for a while. I asked why and she just said "He's just going to have to tell you himself." I got hopeful and really nervous. A few hours later he calls. Turns out, he's called to try and get a date with my gay friend. FML

Today, I went on a blind date a girl from work had set me up with. Apparently my co-worker thinks I'm gay. FML

How did you manage to arrange a date with someone who didn't know it was a date?

Look on the bright side: you had a fun time at least. On the not so bright side: Oh dear god.

gaydar is less fine tuned than most straight people think. It's more subtle, we can usually sort of tell if someone is gay, but more after watching how they act, and how a closet gay reacts when someone calls them gay as a joke is the biggest giveaway to another gay guy. I spent... less time than I should've in the closet, but it was still long enough to understand exactly what every other teenage queer is thinking when they are called gay.

To Number 19... We can all wish. And all things fail, they might become best friends. We know where to draw the line. Thanks.

look at it this way. You have someone you can have a fun time with. Friends that you click with are gold. You don't need to be intimate. Live in the moment and be happy.

#31- Not really. Gaydar isn't "look at a guy and know", it's more like "hang out with a group of friends and begin to notice the gay ones". At least, I seem to notice some odd sort of magnetism with homosexuality. Dunno.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Awkward. Funny, but awkward! More funny than awkward. As long as you both laugh it off, it's not awkward.

#39, at least I don't believe in a cosmic Jewish zombie who was his own father and can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree... Now stop being a bigot and go play nice.

This has bothered me a few times in my life; i'll talk to a guy for a while cause i'm friendly and nice, then somehow eventually realize he's hitting on me, and i'll let him know i'm not into that angle. Then it's like they get mad at me for not being gay! So, don't be so presumptuous with the gay thing. fml.
