I had my hair cut by a female hairdresser about 4 months ago and we got on pretty well and seemed to have a natural rapport between us. I thought I was just having a friendly chat with a hairdresser, whereas she started trying to open me up into asking her out and mentioned a party she might go to, and other things that left me in no doubt that she was giving me all the openings that any straight guy would latch onto. Not being a straight guy, I didn't latch on and let them go over my head. Anyway when I left she touched me on the arm and said hope to see you soon. I am mostly closeted and not obviously gay (although not everyone agrees on that lol)
Yesterday I had my hair cut again and I'd forgotten all about it because it's a busy salon and there are loads of stylists and I always seem to get different ones. I got this same girl (dominique) again this time and again we had a fantastic rapport and the conversation just flowed between us very naturally and she made comments about how good I looked and at one point asked if I was married. I just said no with no explanation. She made it clear in conversation that she was available and she clearly fancies me, and again I didn't make any move because I'm not sexually interested. She did however mention at one point about all her friends being settled down with kids etc and feeling left behind and that started a few alarm bells off in my head. I do however quite like her as a person and could see her as a good friend/ snuggle buddy.
I don't want to come out to her in a salon full of people, (like yesterday) and I thought about asking her out for a drink so I can tell her that I'm gay but I like her as a person and would like her as a friend. However I'm afraid that if I ask her for a drink, then it will build up her expectations only to shatter them afterwards. My question is am I just creating a possible problem by trying to befriend someone who fancies me as a snuggle buddy/ friend who might go on to develop a crush, even if I am up front with her?
I don't really have any female friends and it would be good to be friends with someone who I have a natural rapport with, but maybe it would be cruel to put her in a situation that might give her false hopes? What do you guys think?
