So, GayGAF...
I met this guy at a party at my house on Friday night. He's fit. He's blonde (I like blonde guys). He might be an even bigger dork than me (him liking anime came up in conversation somehow, and I semi-drunkenly recommended From the New World and the Count of Monte Cristo, which I just now realized are two of the only pieces of media from Japan that I know that have good portrayals of LGBQ characters). He seemed really cool, and I told him I thought we should hang out. He friended me on Facebook and we said we would get in touch that way.
At this point, I think he's probably straight, so I was just thinking I had made a new friend, which in of itself is exciting, since I sometimes have problems making new friends and he seems like a cool guy. But, there's the possibility...He's wearing a light blue striped v-neck. Not those super-low v-necks that look really dumb (in my opinion), but a classy one that really complimented his physique (God, I can't believe I just typed that, that sounds so stereotypically gay). He had a fairly masculine voice and demeanor. Nothing really shouted "gay"...but nothing really shouted "straight," either. And I maybe got a vibe from him that he was interested in me...? Or maybe it was the beer skewing things. I would end up that night after he had left getting perhaps the drunkest I've ever been, climbing on top of the roof of the building next-door with my housemates in my underwear, making a drunk post on my friend's Facebook wall while watching the Magic School Bus on Netflix ("We're lost in space without a teacher"), and throwing up due to being drunk for the first time. But that's neither here, nor there.
I look at his Facebook later on, and we have a shit-ton of liked stuff in common. He's even dorkier than I could have imagined. He's also into all sorts of outdoorsy stuff, and he's raising money for a bike trip to Alaska from Austin to benefit cancer research. He looks awesome without a shirt, with an almost swimmer-like body (all that cycling and marathon-running).
I also find the following:
1. He is listed as sigle.
2. Sexual preference is not listed. I find that most straight single guys list it. I do not, because I don't want my family to know. And I don't like to be labeled. I like guys. If you ask me, I'll tell you so, but I generally don't tell people unless they ask or it comes up.
3.among the things in his interests is LGTB rights, Austin Pride (aka pride week festival), and various equality organizations
4. Past events include numerous pro-LBGQ events, such as pride week, marches, and even a a "masQueerade." However, there's also "Being an Ally in corporate America" and "Out and Allied at the Tower," which suggests that it's possible that he might just have several gay friends and is really passionate about gay rights?
Either way, he's definitely someone I want to hang out with, but I'm stuck 50-50 on whether I think he's gay or not. Is he? I want him to be, even though there's still the whole thing about whether he'd ever be interested in me as more than a friend...I already have been in contact with him...we might hang out later this week. Oh, and he said he'd since seen a little bit of From the New World and described it as "pretty killer."
What do you think, GayGAF?
