BUZZING AROUND
I think that gay guys are subconsciously programmed to
be able to detect another gay guy when they come
across one. Call it intuition. Call it radar or
'gaydar.' Whatever it is, gay guys can always find
each other.
I was at the coffeehouse hanging with my friend Jenny.
We were chatting it up when a friend of hers showed
up. I remembered meeting Christian (not his real name of
course) a few weeks ago when a friend of mine was
singing one night. He intrigued me somewhat, but I
didn't think much about him then.
We had a three way conversation for a while.
Christian seem to be grilling me. I didn't have a
problem with that since I just assumed he wanted to
get to know me.
What did bug me was that I was getting this buzz in
the back of my head. It was like something was off.
I just pushed it away.
Christian's friends eventually showed up and he
started to talk to them. I breathed a sigh of relief
and kept right on talking to Jenny. More people
showed up and I sat closer to Jenny (we have this
knock for being quirky and not sitting at the same
tables sometimes). A minute later, Christian just
came over and sat across from me. Nothing wrong with
that, I thought. Jenny, Christian, and I continued
our conversation. Then I realized he was talking to
Jenny, but just looking at me.
When that realization hit, I felt two things. I felt
the buzz in my head again. I also
felt...well...aroused at the thought that this guy
might be gay and find me interesting. Of course, I
freaked and just left at the idea that a hot guy could
like me. Besides, I thought it was all in my head.
A couple of days later(by coincidence), I found out the
truth. Christian was gay and SINGLE. My reaction was
priceless. People could have mistaken me for some
preteen girl at an NSync concert with my happy
shrieking.
I realized something about that buzz in my head from
that situation. It's just my gut instinct. Other
people would say it was their radar or 'gaydar.'
Sometimes I've been known to call it intuition.
Whatever the case, I just think that most gay guys
have it. Most of the time, it's right regardless of
what people say. The next time you get a buzz in your
head after a hot guy walks by, you should remember
that chances are probably good you're right.

member of NSync)
