Use [ QUOTE=WinorLoseMate;6052115]I don't know if its any indication of sexual preference these days but I do have my left ear pierced so that should give a signal that I'm not gay.[/QUOTE] But take out the space between the first bracket and the word "QUOTE"
i dont even think he needs to go that far - he doesnt need to justify why he doesnt want another dude feeling him up and telling him he is sexy - "i have a girlfriend so please stop" ...he doesnt owe mr. gropey-hands any explanation for why he doesnt want to be touched or told he is sexy by a dude. just telling him to stop should be enough.
If there is a woman in the office you fancy, just ask him about her "Hey, is so and so single? Do you think she'd go out with me?"
Man up and just tell him you're not gay....the only way to screw it up is if you act offended. Just wait for the next text or situation and tell him you're straight. Play it off like you thought he was trying to be funny and that's why you didnt say anything earlier. "Sorry, if i misled you" might even be necessary, since you kind of did.
Many years ago on my first day on the job this guy comes up to me and says, "You're a beautiful man." I looked him dead in the eye and said, "That's Harrisment" and he never bothered me again.
Take the offensive. Get really, really drunk the next time you go out with the guys, pretend you're gay, and see what happens. Be sure to let us know how that works out.
Ok look, no more messing around. Here's what you do. Hang out with the guy and don't tell him either way. Go ahead and go out with him one night. Don't stop anything when he tries it, though it sounds difficult the payoff is worth it. Trust me. So go back and spend the night with him and partake in all the activities he enjoys. Afterward, tell him you've never felt like this about someone before. Convince him to quit his job so you two can be together without work being awkward. For good measure have him get a tattoo of your name. Once all this is done, tell him that you're not really gay. You see, the joke's on him because you only slept with him to make him quit his job and get a regrettable tattoo. What a loser he will be!
Refer back to when he texted you and tell him that it was a little too wierd, and you wouldn't want your girlfriend to see it. If he's a decent enough person and you have to work closely together, tell him you think there's still a chance for a good friendship, if not just tell him you'd hate for things to get awkard or uncomfortable at work, and that it's kind of already past the point of normal behavior.
I seen a comedian do a bit on something like this some years back. Basically .. . the guy kept hanging out with him and eventually. . . it got to the point where the guy asks him to come back to his place for a beer. He is like. . no I'm good. The guy is persistant then it hits him. I'M ON A DATE!!! AND I'M THE WOMAN!!! Rocket River it was a good joke. . .i tell it poorly.
next time he says something nice about you, just jovially tell him, thanks, and that it's too bad you aren't interested in guys.
