Poll question: Keep this clean. Would you do this:
You are attracted to members of the opposite sex.

Let's say you were attracted to a member of the same sex; just as you'd be for members of the opposite sex.

Would you ask them out for a date?

1. I suppose my vote doesn't count
After all, I've only been asking you out for a date for nearly a year. And the answer has always been "NO'!!!!!"



But i'm cute and I promise I'll be gentle....

My dreams are messy, but they're just dreams.

8. Effectively speaking, yes.
:)

Aimed at heterosexuals for the sake of straightforward reverse psychology...

7. So even if you found a woman attractive in *THAT* way,
you still wouldn't because you prefer men?

12. YES!
Even if I found women attractive in *THAT* way......

Men would always be my first preference!

There would have to be NO MEN available for me to want to have a woman...

6. I think the question is...
If you are hetero, and you met a_specific member of your gender that you thought was hawt, would you ask them out.

10. Are you so sure?
You are predominately with guys.

You see a woman who turns your fancy; we'll presume she's got the hots for you too.

How do you know there is a real chance at something when you've got more mojo for men?

Does an interest in 1 of your own sex when compared to being interested in 10 of the opposite sex instantly make you bisexual? If the ratio was closer to even 1:3, maybe. But 1:10?

13. If I felt there was some chance it was mutual, sure.
Attraction is attraction. Assuming me and this individual are both free to pursue something, and assuming that there was some indication we were mutually enchanted, sure I would.

18. Love knows no bounds...
Or at least it shouldn't, not even gender. :evilgrin: I hope all works out for you. You deserve to be happy and loved by someone who loves you back.

19. Thanks... Assuming I've read her 'vibes' correctly and I doubt it, I might
And I want emotional love too.

She... is somewhat pretty and there's a buzz.

Of course, I could respond to the eight men who responded to my ad, but age 55 is my parents' age! Free love is one thing, but the generational gap alone would render things improbable. (and if men their age can't find any of their own age, why drop down to the Gen X lot?)

Does she know about your primary orientation though?

23. No. I would have to inform her.
The probability she would be frightened is considerably high, however.

Which is why I endeavor to avoid the situation entirely.

24. Now that I kind of understand your situation...
Edited on Sun Jan-08-06 06:33 PM by El Fuego
I would have to say "Why not ask her out?" You can ask her out just for her company and friendship, not necessarily for sex and a possible commitment.

If and when she learns you're gay, she may actually be flattered that she had what it takes to make you want to "switch teams."

On edit:

And if you actually want to do her, then I guess it means you're not gay anyways, you're bi! :P
