The evils of peer PRESSURE!
The world isn't like it used to be. Can you believe that back in the old days (and I mean old), homosexuals didn't exist? If they did, they were probably regarded as closet queens (i.e what-we-call-them-today)...
Not that I have anything against homos you see- after all, I strongly believe that one should go for whatever makes him/her happy. But, for a heterosexual being such as myself, how exactly do you figure out when someone of the same sex is hitting on you?
*Milk was my classmate for one of my GE classes last semester and I only talked to her on one occasion. Apparently, this "person" was blocking my view, and I couldn't figure out whether the person sitting in front of me was a boylet or a gurlaloo. After a tap, and a brief introduction, I finally concluded that Milk was a girl. Or rather, as Filipinos would prefer, a butch; a tomboy. Anyway, it turned out that Milk was an acquaintance of my housemate, (small world), and incidentally, we started hanging out (drinking sprees and ghost hunting even!). Being the ultimate girly girl, I didn't realize that in the short period of time I was getting to know Milk, she was actually falling for me.
Now, going back to the question earlier, how on earth do you figure out when someone of the same sex is hitting on you? 1) When the "person" miscalls around 10 times a day, and there's nothing romantic going on between you guys. And no, he/she is NOT asking for homework! 2) The person texts a bazillion lovey dovey forwards in an hour flat. 3) The person does everything you ask him/her to. I'm talking about hard-to-do-favors. 4) The person seems to compliment you more often, to the point where it has gone past your ego level and it's starting to get scary. 5) The girl (in my case) the person is supposedly linked with starts to get jealous of you.
Tough situation. I had to risk losing a friendship with someone I really liked as a friend... and risk my reputation when I was suspected of being a homo as well. Thank God we straightened this out... and yes, I'm still straight!

though late to the friendster bandwagon - came onboard 12.26.2004 out of curiosity, and boredom, i wonder if i should congratulate myself for being such a quick study to become an instant part of the "whirlwind of.. invitations." -karl- kwong2000@gmail.com 01.02.2005
