So, I seem to be asked out by my friends a lot for some reason. (Doesn't matter if they identify as male or female.) And every time I either say "I'm gay" or "I'm straight" to get out of it...it's actually a pretty bad thing to do and I don't recommend it, but that's what I've done
Sometimes I mentally prepare myself to turn people down because a lot of times my actions are read as flirty? All I'm doing is being friendly helpp
