Recently was telling my friend this story and he suggested I post it here too. TL;DR down at the bottom.
So this previous semester I joined an on campus D&D group to try and meet new people cause I had just transferred to that college a sum two weeks ago. I ended up joining a group the very day it was starting, and the group chat where a guy was begging for help with his character sheet, let’s call him Jamie. So I said I would help Jamie and meet him like 10 minutes before the scheduled meeting start.
Now I don’t want to be stereotypical but this guy was just so visibly gay and flamboyant I clued in within seconds of seeing this guy. Not even considering how the guy looked like the love child of Draco Malfoy and Kurt Hummel. But I just kind of ignore it and start helping him out with his sheet and he keeps saying things like “oh you’re such a doll” and “thank you oh so much for this darling” which just soared over my head so high I belong in r/whoosh.
Anyway he then makes a snap decision because he knew I was gay (I had sparkly purple nails and pride earrings in so ¯_(ツ)_/¯).
Him: “So what are you doing for the play?”
Me: “Uhhh... I’m not really involved with that??”
This goes on with him talking about his love for history and passion for the arts or whatever, I mainly was tuning him out and finalizing my own Dragonborn bard. But he was flailing around and being that special kind of Extra™ and somehow broke off this black choker he was wearing and wailed about how he needed it for his pursuit of fashion. Anyway he picks it up and asks me if I can help him put it back on, and I obliviously said yes.
Now how does someone normally get assistance putting on a necklace? They turn around and put their back to the other person as they secure the clasp right? Not in this guy’s mind. He turns to face me directly and shoves his face and neck at me like he’s trying to inflict beardburn on himself using my face, which finally clued me into the whole “he’s been flirting with you this entire time” thing.
I tell him to turn around and put it on him as I race to think of a way to let him know I was not interested without being a dick about it. At this time the other members of the group started showing up and were talking about Archer which was perfect for me because I could casually drop in the fact that my boyfriend at the time and I had been binging it the night before.
I was feeling good. I was bonding with the other members of the group, getting ready to play an awesome game, and had avoided having an awkward conversation.
Everything except that last one turned out to be true.
So as the other three guys finish rolling for their stats and the DM sets up, Jamie decides I owe him some answers???? For some reason?????
Him: “So you have a paramour then?”
Me, internally just repeating wtf: “Uh, yeah.”
Him: “May I ask how long you two have been courting?”
Me, as the wtf intensifies: “Like three months now.”
Him: “And may I ask who he is?”
Me, the guy who just transferred to this school a whole ass two weeks ago: “Uh he doesn’t go here and I doubt you’ve met him???”
What followed was a supremely awkward moment where he said that if I found out about any other gay guy to send them his way. As I was awkwardly trying to avoid dealing with this bs any more, the godsend that was the DM saved me by starting the game. I could finally escape this painfully awkward situation and just focus on killing bandits or something.
My hope was in vain.
As soon as we started, Jamie decided to try and flirt with me in character nearly the entire game and whine when I didn’t reciprocate. This all culminated on him trying to RP an actual SEXUAL ASSAULT on my character as well as our unconscious rogue - and did not realize why literally no one else at the table was ok with this and let his character get arrested and executed by guards.
Anyway after session the DM stopped me and told me he was gonna assign seating so that Jamie was as far from me as possible. He then confided in me that this guy had hit on literally EVERY SINGLE DUDE in the on campus D&D club regardless of their relationship status or sexuality. He then told me he was afraid I was gonna behave similarly when he realized I was gay and was so thankful I wasn’t.
Honestly an eye opening experience of how the toxic image of gays harassing straight guys isn’t entirely fictional. Jamie was never booted from the campaign, but I got to bring in my then boyfriend to the party and showed the group that not all gays are horny creeps who won’t take no for an answer.
TL;DR: Other gay guy doesn’t respect disinterest. Like at all.
