Hello Mo's, Ho's and you few Hetero's I'm coming at ya with a little bit of an etiquette lesson. Have you ever been "hit on" or "propositioned" by someone of the opposite sexual orientation? Not sure how to react? Instantly do you go to nervously laughing and passing gas? Well no fears the Tipsy Queer has bit of advice for the "proper" way to handle the situation no matter who's doing the flirting.
Most people's reaction is to get nervous and walk away. DON'T do this, it will only make you more of a challenge to the girl or guy pursuing you. Each person's feelings are different about the scenario; therefore a WIDE variety of possibilities come in to play as to what the end result will be. No matter your personal feelings towards the opposite sexual orientation, whether you be gay, straight, bi, trans-gendered or just down right confused a polite demeanor will almost always cure the stress of the situation and alleviate the "cougar" from pursuing the prey.
Politely tell the person that you are flattered and do not "swing" that way, this simple answer should work. For the more persistent on-lookers you may need to take it to the next level and after making the prior statement just politely re-iterate it. I always recommend travelling in groups. I know I always take a sister to the head with me, so that we can dish about all of the latest Fashion Trends Wal-Mart is currently carrying. No matter what you do DO NOT get offended and throw a punch, a heal or rip off any wigs. The fact that someone finds you attractive enough to come and say so is a huge form of flattery and should be taken that way.
I have met many of my guy friends by hitting on them, then turning around buying them a drink to apologize for making them feel uncomfortable. A level head will always get you through the night regardless if you're at Willie's Sports Cafe, The Dock or the Golden Nugget. I always love it when a girl, no matter sexual preference, or a straight guy comment on my looks, sense of style or just all over personality.
So with this being said go out in to the world, being your fabulous self and keep in mind the person asking the question to you may be just as nervous as you are feeling on the receiving end. Take care my loves and remember life is fleeting so make each day a memorable one and make sure you leave your mark on the world as something to be proud of.
