Preface: I love gay people. I have gay friends, gay relatives, and have been around gay folks all my life. But, I gotta tell ya, yesterday some awkward shit went down, and I kinda felt bad for my co-worker.
I have been working with this dude for the last 8 months or so, at first I really wasn't sure if he was gay or not (like I said I really don't care if he is). Anyway, he is straight as an arrow. Young guy. Home schooled as child. A little meek. A little feminine. Dresses well. Well spoken. Goes to church twice a week. You get the idea. He's grown on me, and I consider him a friend.
Anyway, like I said, straight. A good work friend of mine, Amanda, came over to our part of the office yesterday. The 3 of us were talking, the usuall stuff; whats everyone doing this weekend etc.... Dave, my co-worker, has been stoked forever about Friday. Been seeing this girl he is really digging, and its there first proper date. So, he tells Amanda very proudly about said date. The conversation then went like this:
"With a dude right?"
"Umm, no. With a girl." (Looking kinda confused)
"You're gay though."
"Gay?? No, I am totally straight."
"Fuck off, you are not....nice try"
"No, seriously, I am straight."
(me) - "Amanda, Dave IS straight, and yes he does have a date tonight." (I thought she was fucking around)
(Amanda) - "WTF??!! I was 100% sure you were gay. EVERYONE thinks your gay."
(me) "Amanda, fuck off, nobody thinks Dave is gay"
"Of course they do. I am still 100% sure he is."
"Well, hate to disappoint you, I am not."
Amanada - "Not yet anyway. I mean look at the way you sit. The way you dress. Dude, your gay and you just don't know it yet."
This went on to become a 10 minute conversation. I felt really bad for him....Except for the fact that its coming from the one girl I know who has absoulotely no inner dialloge. She was born without it, I swear.
Conversation finally switches to something else after a bit. Only to come back to:
"Haha, nice try guys. You almost had me. Dave, your a funny guy. So who is this guy you're seeing tonight."
Poor Dave. Talk about tanking a guys self confidence just before a big date with his dream girl!!!
Funny though. I have to admit.
