If as a straight person,you discovered you had a gay or lesbian admirer? Would it freak you out?
For the record i'm straight,and i have had a couple of gay men expressing an interest in me in the past , and to be honest i was quite flattered,in the way i would be if i knew a girl fancied me.
Just curious as to how people would react,i suppose this could apply the other way round too,(gay person with a straight admirer)
Just as flattered as if a person of the opposite sex was attracted to me.

One of my best friends is a lesbian and she's taken me into the Cossack in the past on several occasions. One night a guy who had been looking at me [I thought he was confused because I was with a group of girls] came over and introduced himself whilst I was at the bar. I wasn't in the least perturbed I just told him that 'I wasn't that way inclined'. The only thing if anything that did surprise me is that because I'm such an ugly little monster the girls don't look at me so why did he?
I would be flattered, but not comfortable lol if I was being honest.
These days I would be flattered if a gay ram fancied me... baaa baaa :hihi:
It has happened to me in my twenties [when I was rather lovely]. As a heterosexual man I found it a mixture of flattering and worrying. Flattering for obvious reasons. Worrying because I began to think that I may be sending out the wrong signals. My wife assured me that the guy had been attracted to me because of my masculine appearance and demeanour. Still, I'd be a liar if I said it didn't worry me for a while. No offence to any gay people implied.

I would (and did) say
"Thank you, but no thank you!"
it would not freak me, if another woman took a shine to me.
I'd have to explain, nicely, that it doesn't ring my bell... but I would not freak out. I am straight, but someone being gay, doesn't mither me, one jot.
People's "gay-ness" or lesbianism doesn't faze me. I am not bothered what gender a person's partner is..
The thing is, if we fall in love, we fall in love, don't we? it doesn't matter, to love, what gender the person is. Same as it doesn't matter what hair colour they have, or whether they are tall or short, thin or plump... the person that you fall for, is the person you fall for... they are the one who "rings your bell".
On the subject of a person being gay, and having a straight person fancying you...I remember being about 17 and thinking how nice a work colleague was, and thinking, "OOH, I could quite take a shine to him!"
However, when I plucked up my courage, and approached him, I found out that he was gay. He was lovely, and very gracious, actually, about letting me down gently, and although I was quite embarrased, he made light of it, and we could joke about it, (and did, actually, for many years after, we'd giggle about it)
"Oh well!", thought I.... ( LOL )
This chap, and his partner, and I, became good friends, I thought a lot of the pair of them, and I was dreadfully upset when they passed away, recently.
