Nope, I ain't gay and my GADAR is real weak so here's my question ... if a guy is well settled (earns around $100K, has a house, a car etc.) and is in this 30s ... doesn't have a girlfriend and has never mentioned having one from the past ... is he gay ? -- moved at 15:29 Tuesday 5th December, 2006
Show him my web site and ask him if he likes me... I like him already :) Doesn't mean he's gay or not, but I could use someone like that in my life. Trying to fix him up with a girl will probably give you your answer. I wouldn't ask directly...

Read my post closely ... especially the first line. The reason I am asking is because it sometimes gets awkard during smalltalk ... and I don't want to offend him in anyway. I am married and with a kid ... now if I tell him "Someday you will have kids" ... that might not be appropriate.

If he hasn't told you that he is, he doesn't have a right to get offended. I wouldn't worry about it.

Theoretically, you wouldn't really say this to anyone if you wanted to avoid all possible awkward smalltalk - even if someone is married, that doesn't mean they want to and *can* have kids.

He could be! But, ahem, why are you so interested? :rolleyes:

I hit reply to this message in the Lounge, and all of a sudden I'm alone in the mdidle of 2002. :~ The only way to find out is to ask him. If you want to know so you don't drop something into conversation and make him feel awkward, the best thing to do is ask, and say why -- in pivate. Personally, I just get the whole "So are you married? No? Girlfriend? Boyfriend?" question out of the way at the very start, after all it is really isn't going to matter in the long run and will usually give you some topics for future discussion. Most people have no problem opening up if you ask in a friendly way, and if they do then you know not to approach it again.

Who cares? Anyhow, you can't always rely on behavior. My husbad has a lot of women in his family. He's expressive and was an art major at school. When I first met him I though maybe he was gay. He was actually kind of a manho in college. Maybe he doesn't like commitment hence no visible girlfriends. But if you want to find out you could always bring up Barbara Striesand.

Oh yeah. I didn't tell him for a few years, but he got a laugh out of it. Actually, I asked him the other day if they asked for his Man Card back. Can't remember what girly thing he was doing. Part of my stand up routine is about how I'm basically a guy (I love Home Depot. I'm always looking at saws and thinking, 'I bet I can find SOMETHING to cut') and he's basically a girl. Where I live after a snow storm all the men get up early to snowblow the driveway and sidewalks. I always did this and the neighbors made fun of my husband. So a couple of winters ago he decides he's going to take the responsibility. I just smiled. After 10 minutes (and no sound of the blower) he came in and said he couldn't start it. I asked if he primed the engine. He responded, "What's that?" Anyhow, I noticed that it seemed to take a really long time for him to complete the driveway (which was very long since our garage was detached). The second year he came running in and said, "I just found out that if you turn that crank the snow goes in the other direction!!" I said, "You just NOW discovered this? Why didn't you use it before?" Response: "I didn't know what it was--thought something might blow up so I didn't touch it." He kept backtracking and going over the same areas over and over because he didn't know to turn the crank.

No, it doesn't mean that at all. It could mean a myriad of things. There's really no way of knowing, without asking ? And, I don't see any reason to ask. MAybe he's just had no luck with the ladies ( and would be upset by the question, if you asked it ).

Oh, man, I SO relate to this. When in Texas last, I was horrified that my mate didn't own a saw. I made him buy one and showed him how to repair his deck, which was warped because it was nailed instead of screwed.

I have to admit, after years of her bitching about my driving, Donna does all the driving when we're together. I get a few comments, but like I care. Screw them. I'm the one who doesn't have to drive :-)

If we go on long trips usually one of us drives one way, then switch going home. The exception is when we go to the Twin Cities. Driving there totally freaks me out so I drive the entire "rural" part of the journy both ways which was about 5 hours. Not sure how long the trip will be from our new home. My husband used to make fun of me and that I have "no sense of direction" which is totally false. I have bad night vision so sometimes I get confused at night, but very seldom. Anyhow, since we moved to a place where none of the roads are at 90 degree angles (due to the rivers and lakes) it has totally thrown him off. We went to go for dinner the other night and he missed the exit. Doesn't matter how many times we go to the mall, he always asks, "Is this the exit?" So I do the majority of driving in Sioux City.
