What do you do when a gay guy comes out to you?

This actually happened to me once when I was 19. At first I did not realize it, and I just thought the guy was being a cool older guy and friendly in conversation buying me a drink and I would pay him back. (I was under 21 at the time, the age of legal drinking in my state, and soon the rest of the USA by law). But then it became apparent that his action meant something else, and my reaction was to "Run Away! Run Away!"

But now upon older reflection, the proper response would be, "Uh Sorry Guy, not my thing..." Although in a loud concert at the time, that was hard to shout out.

Throw a party and give him a Diploma

I had dated a gay man but I already knew he was Gay. What I didn't like is he cheated on me and he got caught. hahaha If he comes you as of now, It is your choice to drop him or be a friend or however you choose to deal with him. by the way: They don't change.

wouldn't make a difference lol. I would react the same way as if you said you were straight.

[Asker]

[Spongebobssocks]

Nope... do I evan know you lol?

[Spongebobssocks]

Have we talked?

[PositiveFlight]

Nothing, other than remind him I’m 100% straight

I guess I'd say thanks for his trusting me enough for him to feel safe in outing to me.

Then I'd tell/ask him that it feels good to get that burden off of his chest, doesn't it?

I'd further say, depending on who it was, that I had or did not have suspicions, but regardless, it's all good, it's in the open, there's no more fear of "discovery", because he's outed himself.

Then I'd ask if he wants to go fishing.

Give him a fistbump.

At or near your age (22) a gay guy at the beach during Spring Break, at night... I encountered what I know now, and thought then, was as gay as a goose. I just ignored him and got away from the group he was with and went back to our motel.

Also at my office in San Clemente, a few years ago, two guys tried to come on to me while I was working... and I just said.."I'm not interested"...

I resent that kind of aggressive BS from gays... but it isn't difficult to give them a brush off or let them know to look somewhere else.

Ignore him. If he's persistent, shut him.

It is no big deal. I'm glad they are comfortable being open about it. Life is short and all of us should be happy.

I wouldn't treat him any differently than if he was straight.

Be a true friend to him sexually as long as he needs me and need him.. 💞💞

[CubaPirate]

Probably tell him I already knew
