    Idk, if you don't swing that way then it's not the same kind of rejection, because it's not a hurdle but a wall. I think most gay guys would know not to take it personally if they did ask, though they might feel embarassed and fear alienating you.

      I believe you, but I'll admit the poor guy couldn't hide something painful about my rejection. I try to tell myself he might have just been on a losing streak but it just sucks thinking I might have ruined someone's day like that.

      Edit: I should add he wasn't a total stranger, so I guess he might have gotten his hopes up about me from afar.

        Yeah, people can get very lonely and latch on to what they imagine is a way out.

          An easy way to not be lonely is to rescue an animal 🥰
