Alright so I went out to one of the better music venues in my town. Its not a total dive and its an indie rock kind of bar. A guy who I have only met once before started touching me and did so throughout the night,(throwing his arm around my neck, and what not). on top of this he grabbed my hand and are fingers were interwoven and he locked eyes with me several times, and did continued doing alot of this stuff throughout the night. on top of that he noticed that we were wearing similar shirts and ran his finger across the front of my chest.
by the end of the night I finally asked him, "so are you gay?"
response "oh no no,,,..." and then asked me "Are you?" I told him I was bi, because he knows my friends and I'm not fully out.
On top of all the signs I thought he was sending me, he was at the bar with two girls he was not dating.
Am I crazy or was I sent a totally mixed signal. I feel like I was setup in a sense. 90% of my friends are straight and I mostly hang out with straight folks and I've never met a guy who was so physical, especially when you factor in I've only met him once before. he wasn't acting extremely drunk or anything.
I don't know what to make of this interaction?... because what straight guy would do this? and now I'm uneasy about him telling folks because I don't want to be known for hitting on straight guys...
when I'm at straight bars I've experienced other gay guys touching guys on the chest as sort of a test to see how they react to see whether or not they are gay.
At first they'll touch ya a little bit or get close to see if you get uncomfortable or scowl at them and if you don't they move in and continue talking to you.
I don't feel like I was reading the signals this particular person was sending.
Did I miss something, any ideas would be helpful?
I thought this guy's actions were over the top and an open invitation..
that being said go to a gay bar, where the translation is a hell of lot more clearer.
