i find it infuriating that somebody assumes just because one didn't do the socially required thing and show amorous interest in another, that it is automatically assumed that one just has to be gay. the arrogance, the narrow-mindedness displayed in this situation just boggles my mind.
I don't conform to the male stereotype in various ways & I'm awkward which can throw others for a loop. People tend to want to put others in square boxes & there's only two options in their minds. It's an either,or midset. If someone is not X then they must be Y. I'm guilty of that myself sometimes. I want others to make sense & I want to know the kind of person someone is to better guage if they're safe or not before trusting them & when it comes to romantic relationships I want to determin if we might be compatible & if I might have half a chance with them or not before investing a lot of effort chasing someone who will never be into me like that. However lots of people, especially us Aspies tend to not fit nice & neat into square boxes & others don't know what to make of us. I've noticed that different people can have opposit opinions of me even on this forum.
