SayWhat
On the Prowl
A while back I posted something about a straight guy I had a thing for (Shocking, right?)
The original post can be found via my profile.
Someone asked me for an update, and I was hoping for a little more feedback. So here it goes!!
I decided to put all the cards on the table with this guy. Neither of us do really well with verbal conversations when it's a serious matter, so I decided to e-mail him. It basically said:
"I think we need to set up some boundaries if we want this friendship to last. The suggestive touching, etc. sends confusing signals since you know that I'm gay and physically attracted to you. The fact that I've developed an emotional attachment to you makes it even more difficult to put up that wall. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it. But it's frustrating when you've been laying on top of me, pinching and/or biting my nipples, and slapping my ass, then you go spend the night at some woman's house. If any other guy were doing that to me, I'd think it was a pretty obvious sexual advance. I'm not saying you need to stop. I'm just asking you to be more aware of the signals you're sending and make some adjustments so there aren't any miscommunications."
He didn't reply, but he immediately stopped with the behavior listed above. He still found ways to touch me non-stop, but it was in less suggestive, more friend-like ways. That lasted for a few weeks, but then Wednesday came along and all hell broke loose. The same old behavior resurfaced. Pinching, biting, hair pulling, tickling, laying on top of me, etc. To be honest I kinda missed it, so I didn't shut him down right away, even though I know this is counterproductive to me moving on.
Question is this: I've expressly stated that I interpret that behavior as a sexual advance and asked him to stop if that's not the intent. So is it okay to assume this is now a sexual advance? Should I make a move?!? And if so, how?!?!?
