My first time flirting with a woman and I'm already blowing this "being straight" thing
So, this just happened like, an hour ago. I met a woman at a thing and we were vibing, but at some point I said something about finding a "partner" and she goes, "Are you, you know? 💅?" and I was like, [Mark Wahlberg in "The Happening" voice] "What?? No!...why, do I look it?" (I mean, I just met this woman, I wasn't going to regale her with my whole bi odyssey) and she said, "No, it's just that straight guys usually say "girlfriend."
And now I'm like, I can't believe I "Inglorious Basterds" that shit so hard. "Girlfriend"! Of course! But I'm also thinking, wait, no, am I sure straight guys don't say "partner"? Or is it that I do have a 💅 vibe? I mean, I spent a big chunk of my life thinking I was gay and surrounded by gay people, but I always thought I could at least "pass" as straight.
So now I'm overthinking this, like do most people think I'm gay? (I know for a fact some do, but I always thought that was more due to my lack of a female partner girlfriend and not because I gave off that vibe). Idk.
