I was talking to a few of the women in the hall before class tonight and asked if I give off that vibe. I got all no's but then when I asked the instructor as she came in, she said that she'd said partner in the "buddy" sense and did not say boyfriend. I distinctly remember she did but she was immediately on full-alarm and it was obvious so I didn't press it. She made several attempts to tell me that she didn't care in any regard what my preference or preferences were and that made no difference to her. I told her it didn't matter really, and to a point it's funny, but it's something that keeps happening and it's frustrating and I just want to get it sorted for my own self. I looked at my mannerisms tonight in the mirror and it's obvious. I look like a skinny gay guy. I make scrunch up my face when I talk about things I don't like. I show emotions, all of them, in my expression and body language I suppose the numbers I've gotten in my pockets before and the gay guys that did hit on me directly were because of how I behave. I'm in-between straight and flaming, but no steady place in there at all. I suppose it's just the way I am. I wasn't always though. At one point in life, I was very reserved, but it was because I was pressured to be that way. I guess I'm ok with being a straight guy that appears as gay. People.... I dunno about em.
