Would you be flattered if a gay person said they fancied you?

It's probably like the autistic spectrum? My wife is convinced I sit somewhere along that line as does everyone else. I would suggest we all sit along these spectrums in bisexuality and autism and there's really no real defined 'autistic person' or 'bi-sexual person' just a matter of degree (and self denial).

% = per cent, it means per one hundred. You're 100% straight, unless there is a whole lot more times of you in you than just one.

I can't stop giving kudos, lol.
Thanks for clarifying that up. Actually the spectrum thing makes much more sense in my case. I definitely like girls more than boys, overall(if I like boys at all that way, which I'm not sure yet that I do). So, yeah, that's reassuring, thanks.
No, cath[y], I'm not undergoing puberty, but thanks for having such a high opinion of my intellect.

Haha. I know. I was just making a point.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Sure, I wouldn't find it a threat to my sexual identity or anything. It's happened before, if I were gay, he wouldn't be my type.

Oh wow, I meant no disrespect, I apologize.
I don't remember seeing your posts before that one, so please don't take offense. I was responding to one isolated post, not to you as a member (since I don't know you), and was just trying to help.

Actually I will be taking offense, seeing as that's for me to decide and your apologies don't affect my judgement in this matter at all. You have forever destroyed any possible friendship between us. Even if we meet again in a hundred billion years, on a planet from another galaxy, I still won't forgive you.

This might sound like a strange question but where I'm from, I think people don't even know gay people exist =)). So maybe a lot of people don't even know what they are from all the repression.
Sigh, now I'm all confused.
How old are you? Sometimes it's normal during puberty to question yourself. I know I had instances back then when the thought crossed my mind, but I can now say that I am 10000000000% heterosexual. The thought of being with a woman now thoroughly grosses me out (no offense to anyone, this is just me). It's crazy what teenage hormones can do!
I'll bet your husband likes to hear about those early girl on girl crushes. Amirte? My wife Lia who can pass for a dyke insists she is "10000000000% heterosexual" too. But I like to kid her about her crushes on her camp counselor, Helga. "Here Lia, you must know what it will be like with a baby, no? Let baby Helga show you."

Yes, I totally agree. We're not toggle-monkeys, we're all on sliders.

Posting is funny sometimes. Emotions get lost.
