Re: Where do I go from here?

@lily do I understand correctly that you had male friends make passes at you, gay men as well and also lesbians?

Re: Where do I go from here?

Yes.  Yes to the lesbians too.  Closet lesbians.  You have to appreciate I was in my late 50's and the last time I'd been in the dating pool was as a teenager.  I've always enjoyed playing cards - I joined a bridge club.

The passes from two old friends happened before that.  They were straight but there was nothing romantic about it - and both of them were like as soon as I didn't respond that was it for them, end of friendship, haven't seen either of them since.

So once I joined a bridge club I was meeting new people, eventually I realised the percentage of gays was high.  I think you'd find the same on the golf course.  'Buddies' who play together regularly.   

Anyway, I don't play golf, but do like playing bridge,  

As well as the closet gays looking for a new wife there were several married lesbians who hit on me .  I think that is over now as they've come to know me.  I really am straight.  I have also proved not to be a threat and they have accepted me socially in an inclusive way.  

There are some straight couples I have come to like them a lot.  Mainly though it is MOMs in the married couples and I think that is just par for the course in general life.  It is painful to see them together but quite often it is just the abused straight spouse that I am interacting with at table and they are a great bunch.  So are the openly gay.
