Actually, I can usually tell within 5 seconds of meeting someone if they are gay. Especially if it's a guy. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but i CAN tell.

Oh please, even the gayest of gay men don't have that type of gaydar.

But she's not just friends with them.

No you can't. Even gay people can't always tell. Wentworth Miller, Jason Collins, Meredith Baxter. You're going to tell me you knew they were gay?

You don't have to agree. But lieing on this forum really does nothing for me. It's like like I have some huge following that I garnered with all my BS.

just understand the following; Just because you can't do something/understand something, doesn't mean no one can.

And I also disagree with your gaydar comment.... IME, gay men are VERY good at quickly determining someone's sexual orientation.
And yes, I have known gay men.

They generally are, but they will admit they get it wrong a good percentage of the time as well. At least the ones out of their 20s do.

You don't know each other after one date, so how can you make such an important decision?
It depends on the individuals in question, really. I've been on many, dozens, of dates in my over two years in the dating scene. There were plenty dates that never went beyond the first date, most of which occurred in the early period of the dating scene when I was exploring and all that jazz.

What I discovered was, I am not into casual dating in the long term. I once did the "Go out with anyone who I am attracted to and is interested. Maybe there's some compatibility." This approach can become quite exhausting overtime. Exhausting and fruitless to go out just to go out. I then became much more selective in the process.

And when it concerns exclusivity, it isn't something expected on either end when/if there's no true connection or when/if the objectives vary. If the chemistry or attraction is not there then it's not even up for consideration. I've been on many dates where I had no interest beyond said date. However, those I have ended up involved or in an actual relationship with, exclusivity was desired from early on.

The men I have dated who were inclined toward exclusivity if they met the right match were those who had been in the dating scene for some time, explored plenty and were essentially "done" with the scene. These men were past the "dating just to date" or weren't inclined toward it at all. Perhaps it's also a generational thing in part, as those who desired something more serious after meeting someone with whom they connect with on multiple levels were in their late 30's to early 40's. They were more serious in finding and developing something more, well, serious.

My last two committed relationships were exclusive from the outset. I've been involved with/talked to men, in the earlier part of my dating adventures, who desired exclusivity from the start, but my situation at the time didn't quite allow for it. I was involved with a man early summer where we became exclusive from the beginning, and my current relationship, same thing.

However, exclusivity being mutually desired from the outset has applied to about a dozen prospective suitors out of several dozen. Everything has to "fit" right, the chemistry, attraction, and connection at multiple levels, etc., in order for that to apply.

Just because you can't do something, doesn't mean it's impossible.
C'mon people.

I dont make claims to date models and attract playmates. I am unskilled in attracting the typical 'model type' woman.
That doesn't mean I have no skills, and it also doesn't mean ALL of my skills are lessor than you or the next person.

TBH, most people are amazed at my gaydar. Thing is, with the metrasexual push the past 5 years, my gaydar is probably not as good as it used to be.
But I seldom am wrong about such things.

I bet you have a skill that I can't compete with. Perhaps you can calculate pi to the 21st digit in your head, or can make a ham sandwich like none I've ever had before. And me telling you on a forum that "no you can't" is just about as counterproductive as I can imagine.

Don't believe anything I say, I literally don't care.

Good call! I didnt consider that one!

Me, I used the DeLorean and traveled back in time to figure that one out. I just HAD to see it once and for all.

I almost got stuck there too. The flux capacitor started acting up, but luckily I had a spare Canootzen Valve under the hood, and patched up my low gigawatt production issue.

Part of me considered staying back there, but I was afraid the butterfly effect may have deleted my existence, so I came back to city data.
