How can you tell if someones gay

How do you know if someone you hangout with is gay? are there obvious tips or flags to look for or do they have to come right out about it?

 

I don't think there are any "flags" to generally look out for, but think of it this way: If a guy were hanging out with girls and liked one of them, there might be subtle hints. It's the same thing.

 

They almost have to come out and tell you. There are all sorts of gay people, and we aren't alike at all. If a person is interested in another person, it's often pretty clear.

 

I agree pretty with much what Sage said. I had the same kind of questions recently when I realized I was bi, and that I would consider dating women. Avoid the stereotypes about gay people, as well. In my experience, the stereotypes are just flat out wrong. The most effeminate males I've met in my lifetime were straight, and the most "butch" women I've met were also straight.

 

uhh steretypes can help but the only way to be sure is "are you gay?" "why, yes I am"

 

You have to ask them, or maybe observe them engaging in sex with a person of the same gender, which could prove to be difficult.

I don't know any gay people.

 

Look them in the eye. It usually works for me.

 

Actually Green, you very well may know some gay people. You just wouldn't necessarily know that they are gay. I've been gay for years, and I still get surprised by who is gay.

 

I surprise gay guys. One said "I'd never figure you for being gay." I asked him why and he just said he couldn't sense me as gay. I don't try to "not" be gay, I just am who I am.
