STRAIGHT FRIENDS TRYING TO SET UP CLOSETED GUY

Dear Prudie, As we approach Valentine's Day, I'm dreading the annual parade of friends trying to set me up with women -- and women sometimes hitting on me. I'm 23 year old man and secretly gay. Coming out is still far away for me, so in the mean time, I'm not sure how to fend off these well-intentioned friends who keep suggesting I ask so-and-so out. And it's really uncomfortable when a woman comes on to me, and I have to rebuff it. I have no interest in women! I feel like I come off as holier-than-thou or a prude when I say thanks but no thanks. Help me get through Valentine's Day with tact!

Drink till she's hot. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 13, 13:05 2
- I've nearly been in this situation a few times. Not sure I could actually perform if it happened. -- nm - MDH Feb 13, 13:06 1
  - if you are drunk enough, then perhaps performance could never happen. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 13, 13:07
Just say you have your eye on someone else. -- nm - Loyola Feb 13, 13:00 3

  - ~Oh, I wish you could meet my girlfriend, my girlfriend who lives in Canada!~ - znufrii Feb 13, 13:10
  - "She lives in Canada, so you probably never will, though." -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 13, 13:09
If you are far away from coming out (I've been there) then just say "I'm not interested in dating now, sorry." - MDH Feb 13, 12:57 8
- The response would be, "Oh, I don't want to date you. It is Valentine's Day and I don't wanna go home alone." -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 13, 12:59
- get out of b.'s head -- nm - pixitude Feb 13, 12:58 6

    - *paw to button nose* -- nm - barnaby bear Feb 13, 13:00 1
      - have you been stealing my buttons again? tsk. -- nm - b. Feb 13, 13:28
  - heh, I actually almost added something about MDH in my 2nd post below, before seeing he's here. -- nm - b. Feb 13, 12:59
"thanks, but I'm not interested in dating right now." -- nm - b. Feb 13, 12:56 4
- This is hard for a straight guy to comprehend, though. - Dr.Vermin Feb 13, 13:07
- (I don't get the delaying of coming out either, though, at least to friends.) -- nm - b. Feb 13, 12:58 2
  - I cam out in college, but sometimes its just that a person isn't ready. - MDH Feb 13, 12:59 1
    - I totally get that, and I should have said it depends on the friends. -- nm - b. Feb 13, 13:02
go on a date with hotkiss... -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 13, 12:55
motorboat them to scare them away. -- nm - znufrii Feb 13, 12:55

Come. Out. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 13, 12:54
