Young man, there's no need to feel down - Village People

So I'm out for drinks, with what I thought would be a team effort but it's just this one guy. I had met this particular guy with his "partner" out and about several times. The day before they had invited me to lunch, couldn't make it so I was told to come out for drinks the next night. Which I did but it was a more solo affair. I kept inquiring of my companion for the evening where his partner was, what he did, how did they meet. And then there was a "Wait, what?" moment. He's like I'm not gay! And I'm like WTF. And then I'm like "wait is this a date?". Yeah so that didn't go so well. And no wonder when he complimented my outfit and I was like "thanks girlfriend" he looked at me quizzically. Needless to say the rest of the evening was a total awkward disaster. With me making fumbling attempts to qualify my gay thesis. Best line of the night "I thought you were gay not because of mannerisms, it was all circumstantial!"
