Thing was, even though I made it clear that I was not interested the individual would still exert some form of pressure, subtle or otherwise. I am not the kind of guy that would knock someone's head of at any approach of a gay (unlike some I've heard of), but being open-minded apparently haves the person think that I am not being honest or I subconsciously have some interest. I take any kind of interest from someone in the spirit of flattery... I think we all should. But if responding positively even though the feeling isn't mutual, I feel like I ought to start having a more negative response. Still, I'm sure not all gays are like that as not all straights are like me, so: 1) Yes I would be flattered 2) I would accept the invitation if I felt confident that the person understood my position AS WELL AS respected it. Always give a new person at least one opportunity to fail rather than writing them off from the start...you may make a good friend. A Nonny Mouse
