I'm sure many of you guys have had experiences like this, where someone will add you or message you on Facebook completely out of nowhere and start trying to chat you up with the subtlety of an air horn.
I find that, as a gay man living in a slightly more conservative area, gay guys seem to jump at any opportunity they can to meet other gay guys. Every now and then a gay stranger will add me on Facebook and immediately start messaging me and telling me that I'm cute and asking me what I'm up to and whatever else. And I mean, it's flattering and I get that they're just trying to meet people because meeting other gay people is hard, but some of them are just... :biblio:
About a month ago this one dude messaged me about how we had a couple mutual friends and that he had heard about me so he wanted to get to know me. And first off, that in and of itself is a bit annoying, cause I hate when straight people pull the whole "oh my god, you're gay, I know another person who is gay, you guys need to meet!" ********. And it was obvious that this was one of those situations, so right off the bat I was kind of annoyed and he was making it pretty obvious that he was attracted to me and the attraction was
not returned so I just ignored it.
Then he messaged me again and told me he was having a party that our mutual friends were coming to and I should stop by. I decided to just be nice and actually respond to him, and we got to talking.
Not even exaggerating, within 30 minutes of the initial message, he was calling me "cutie" and asking if I was single and if I was looking for a relationship and if I wanted commitment. I was like "uuh, I'm not really looking for anything, and I've never had a boyfriend, so uhh..." and it was hella awkward. He proceeds to tell me that he can be "very good to me" and "good for me" as well. And I'm like, dude, we have not even met yet, why are you sitting here giving me your OKCupid bio? Like, I gave him absolutely no reason to believe that I was attracted to him.
So I ended up not going to the party because it turned out our mutual friends weren't going so he said he'd text me the next day. Of course he did, and immediately was addressing me as "cutie" and asking me how I was doing and offering to make plans. So I flat out said "Look, you came off way too strong yesterday and you make me very uncomfortable. It's very obvious that you're attracted to me, but I'm sorry, I'm just really not interested." So he got the message and left me alone.
I noticed we were still Facebook friends a little bit ago (I tend to never delete people on Facebook) and so I decided to take care of that. I deleted him on my phone's facebook app. And this a few minutes later, I get a Facebook notification about how he accepted my friend request, and I'm like, "oh, ****." And then this happened:
:deadbanana2: ****ing most awkward thing.
Any of you guys have stories or experiences like this?
