why not just tell them you aren't interested?

I think I'd rather date a Downs syndrome individual that claim to be gay

im going to settle for a cryptic "potentialy dangerous", although it really it depends on how involved the person is in your life, if its just some person at a bar i dont htink it matters, if its your best freind then it will definetly get complicated... that is unless you actually are homosexual

besides, if you are a girl then telling a guy you're gay usually doesn't help things any...most guys just find that to be a turn on, and are even more persistent.

well, i'm bi curious... so i'm a little gay in a way...

and this guy doesn't even seem to notice my refrences to my boyfriend. being gay is so much more final and excluding of dating him.

it's been my experience that telling a person you just aren't interested in them is a sure-fire way to create awkwardness in a friendship.

just tell him, point blank, that there's already somebody else in your life. if he doesn't get the message, or doesn't want to respect your relationship, then you probably shouldn't be friends with him anyway.

Yeah, just tell him 'no'. There's no reason to claim to be gay, unless it's an expedient to get someone off your back. I'm bi but usually say gay because gay passes with little comment, but with friends and family, I say bisexual. Basically, it shows lack of effort in the friendship you have. Just ignore his advances, change the subject, etc.

I think that's a little cowardly. If you don't like them, just politely refuse. Don't lie about your orientation.

If you claim to be gay, people will want to get on your back and… nevermind.
Just say you've got a STD at the moment that is being treated.
That should get rid of the sexual interest.

i don't think my bf woudl like the explanation for such a situation... if it was a girl we're talking about then he'd be all for it...

Tell your boyfriend it's survival of the fittest. He can adapt to bisexuality or find a new chica.
