Straight people, If a gay or lesbian person went up and asked you out how would you react?

[Still-alive]

assume they were respectful about it for this question. they weren't being creepy or something. so guys if another dude hit on you and girls if another girl hit on you.

Be flattered but tell them im not interested

Take it as a compliment and thank them but tell them im not interested

secretly be disgusted but just tell them im not interested without showing that im disgusted

Audibly show how disgusted i am and tell them to go away

Be very disgusted to angry and threaten to hit them if they don't go away

Just say 'ew' at them.

other reaction (whats your reaction)

[msmissydc]

I normaly dont even mention I am not gay. I use the same reason I use for straight guys. "Sorry but I am married/ not single/ have a partner/etc. "

[electromagnetic]

“Thank you, but I like men and I’m not curious or interested”

[ariadneR]

I'd accept it as a compliment.

I remember one time, I went to a bar with my ex and his friend. They saw two girls that they were interested in and they started buying them drinks. [I know, huge red flag that my ex is buying a girl drinks and obvs flirting but I was dumb and didn't see the flag]. The women though kept accepting their drinks, but started buying my drinks and flirting with me. The women told them numerous times that they weren't interested, and continued flirting with me. Lol.

Nevertheless we left/I left with their number and a very mad ex. Lol

“Secretly be disgusted but just tell them im not interested without showing that im disgusted”

This to me is the polite route. I would say, “Well that is nice that you asked so kindly, I’m just not interested in dating anyone. Hope you understand. You’ll find a nice man in the future, you will make him happy.” or something like that.

This has happened to me, more than once. I was like: "Really? OMG, that is so sweet of you, and I appreciate the compliment, but I’m sorry I'm not gay. But if I was..."

I hope this helps

I have been approached by gay men in my office in San Clemente... and I did not like it at all... Creepy!!!

[Still-alive]

How come it’s creepy?

[ChicoFromThe305]

No id remain respectful, if they aren't disrespecting me, there's no reason to be disrespectful to them, I had a gay compliment my jacket before and even tho it made me uncomfortable, I just said thank you and that's it

[IslaTheWitch]

I would simply explain that it's not my story

it's the best to keep it clear without a space for assumptions...

[diversethought]

Personally, the gay males always hit on me,
I've tried to be cordially. Tried being friends and all they wanted to do is suck me. It was an endless charade of me saying no, felt like how a women feels

[edmwarrior]

I have a few gay friends. I’m a straight male. Call me crazy, but they make me feel like a million bucks! I love it when they hit on me, because women don’t! 😂 I need validation sometimes

[DancingQueen16]

I'd tell them I'm not interested because I already have a boyfriend

[ICanSmellTheCosmos]

"Hey, man, I appreciate the interest and your willingness to shoot your shot, but I don't fish in that pond. Best of luck to you, bro."

[Forcedtochoosegender]

I would be too stunned I'm so attractive I even pulled those guys toward me but without hate I would refuse and say um sorry

Beside loving the attention 🙂 but it's not meant to be like that

[DrPepper12]

I've had this happen a few times. It's a great compliment!

[llorando]

I'd be a little creeped out, but in the end would politely turn them down.

[Wiredone]

It happened once with me. I just said I wasn't interested because I'm married

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Just go eww

[Confusedinca2021]

I would be flattered, then I would tell them i was straight.

[Jennz6]

I’m bisexual so it doesn’t matter

[Budheavy]

I would decline the offer

[Booklover_90]

“No. I’m straight.”
