Hello Gaf! I'm glad to see this thread is still alive and kicking
So there's this guy that I work with and I think he's gay, but i'm not entirely sure. I'm usually 9/10 with my gaydar but this one keeps throwing me off. He has a lot of the tendencies that I look for when trying to see if someone's straight or not. Many others at work thinks he's not straight, and one of my friends that i work with immediately declared he wasn't straight from their first meeting (she's been right about all the guys i questioned to be gay). However, one day we were talking about what his plans were over the weekend and he mentioned to me that he was going up north to see this girl he was talking to and interested in. Is there any way to ask him if he's gay without sounding awkward? Keep in mind that I'm not really friends with him; his older brother was in the same high school grad class as me though.
I'm interested in talking to him because he's really nice, good-looking, and we've had some interesting conversations. I wouldn't want to be wasting my time though so I'm just looking for a way to ask without making it awkward from now on. Also, i'm not sure if he knows that i'm gay or not as i've never hinted at it nor have i brought it up in any way. Thanks for your help guys and gals.
