Funny Story From Denver Trip

Okay, funny story time. So gather around little kiddies!

First off, I need to state that I have no problem with homosexuals. Never have, never will. Hell, one of my gay friends told me I was the most inquisitive strait man he'd ever talked to. No, not that kinda curious, just about when he knew he was gay, how'd the people around him react, etc, etc, etc. Now then, I've also been told by a gay guy that there is no way anyone would confuse me for gay, even if I said I was. I guess I'm just not believable as a gay.
So here I am in Denver, at the HomeBrewFest party ripping it up. I'm running around in shorts and a wife beater, which is par for me at any party event when obnoxiousness is afoot. I've spent my day mingling with various people, new friends, the hosts etc. I have my wonderful girlfriend, so obviously I'm not making any moves on the ladies. Not that any of my moves ever worked, but that's not the point. So I'm watching a game of beirut, waiting for our turn and talking to some guy. So then for no reason, he kinda brushes up against me. He has a long-sleeve shirt on, but it's still kinda weird. But accidents do happen and there's alot of drinking going on. Drunk people are not known for their balance skills. So I pass it off as an accident and shift the other way a little bit.
Keep talking, and it happens again. He's subtle about it, but it's becoming clear that it's probably not an accident. I mean, at some poing he had to take a 1/2 step toward me to account for me shifting away after the first time. And I'm in just a wife-beater, so I don't really have alot of clothing buffer here. And then I start noticing other small behaviors. Like the 'pat on the shoulder' move after a funny comment. And other classic guy flirting moves. Being a guy, they're quite easy to pick up on. I wonder if girls can spot them just as easily...
Obviously I'm not angered by this. Or upset by it. It's really rather flattering, but I kinda need to know if this is all in my head, or if he's gay and is working me. Trouble is, no one really knew who the guy was or where he came from. None of my buddies that were hosting knew him, and the couple other 'trustable' people I knew there had no idea.
So now I'm wondering why I've been tagged as gay. Maybe it's from the fact I've been talking to a few of the girls and acting like I have no interest in anything more than talking. And my girlfriend isn't there to give a rational reason for it. And if no one knows him, he doesn't know anything about me and my quite straitness. And then there is all my.......gay habits. The ass-slapping, using bad pick-up lines on my friends, the unconfortable touching (hand on the knee, around the shoulders, etc) that's just funny to us, but if you don't know us it may appear that I'm gay. And hence, why all of those things are funny to us. I mean, I do it because it's gay! And funny, because none of us are homophobes.
The anticlimactic part is that I never found out. For all I know, it was all in my drunken mind. But he did seek me out to talk to 1-on-1 a few other times that night. And it just didn't really have that 'strait-guy to strait-guy' feel to it. Like when you're talking to some girl at a party. I sure they can pick up rather quickly if you're talking to them just for the conversation or if you're there on the prowl. So I did my best to not give any impression of being gay and interested and kept up my typically party routine of running around like a druken idiot with the attention span of a 2-year-old.

And for anyone wondering what that party was like....

The pics are just from 1 person, but they do give a good over-view of the event. I'm easy to spot, as I'm the only idiot wearing a wife beater. No pics of the suspected gay guy, but maybe I can drum up one from someone else's collection of photos. If I can, you'll see it up here shortly.

PEACE!!!
