Hi Jason.

First of all, welcome to posting on this board. I hope that this will be the first of many posts and that you will be able to contribute grandly to our discussions - both serious and zany.

I am going to give you the best advice that I can, but since I am not at all sure of what I shall say, please don't act on it until you have heard what others here have to say: collective wisdom.

In view of everything that you have said about this guy I think that you should suggest to him that you 'hang out' together after work and if things go well from your POV after a couple of times ask him directly whether he is gay or not.

Good luck.

When you take him for that coffee / soda after work you could mention "We seem to like the same things," and see where that leads. Ask him if he's seen 'Brokeback Mountain' and watch / listen to his reaction. Less subtle, you could adjust yourself when he's looking at you and see what he does. If he adjusts himself back, you're onto a winner.

Good luck and tell us what happens.

Hugs
Nigel

The adjustment is a sure fire way to know what he has on his mind..... if you notice him noticing you when your eyes make contact check out his little package and then see if he smiles.....

If he does smile then you are in.....



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Since I can only hazard a guess, Id say everybody was right. Ask him out to hang. Watch how he responds. If he is like excitted or smiles or seems to be a bit more than happy, chances are your gong to bat a thousand. Tell a witty joke and put your hand on his leg, see how he reacts. Body lanuage can tell it all.

Sorry about the bad spelling errors. It was kinda late when i wrote the first post. I'll try some some of the sugestions that you all have stated. And take other bold moves under advisement.

And thanks for responding so fast. And I do think I become more active in this form.

Just one more thing about you all have said on the adjustment. How big of a adjustment should it be. Like a I have an ich or a full blown adjustment.

And like said befor thanks for such a quick responds. All of you have been so nice.

Hi Jason,

I'm afraid that I can't offer much advice in the arena of your original question -- most of my knowledge being entirely theoretical -- but if you're thinking of sticking around: please do! It's always nice to have new people visiting, joining in and hopefully becoming regulars.

Good luck with your friend -- I hope the attraction turns out to be mutual.

Best wishes,

David

Playing the 'adjustment' game is one of those things that seems difficult until you've gone through the moves a couple of times - then, like riding a bike, it'll be instinctive.

In your situation, you're probably worried about the consequences of being wrong, so a full-blown dramatic performance is perhaps not the best idea. Still, you need to be obvious enough to attract his attention if he's interested. That calls for more than scratching an itch!

No reason why you shouldn't practise in front of a mirror, so that you can decide how obvious someone else would need to be to focus YOUR attention.

Best of luck!

... don't fall in love with yourself while your pracitising - kinda defeats the object of the exercise!

If this boy's half as good as you describe him, you might start off with an inch adjustment, but it'll soon grow into a full size one. **giggles to homself**

**Giggles to homself**, indeed. How Freudian is that vowel-shift!
