ups, if you feel like you're being unfairly abused (It's very borderline, but I'm tempted to agree with you in a case or 2), you need to let one of us mods know.
as for your new job, #1: are you sure he's gay? what if he's trying to be friendly, and is socially inept?
#2: if you are getting creepy feelings, you need to TELL him to stop doing the things that are making you weirded out. If he doesn't ease up, bring management in. sexual harassment and all that jazz.
so. similar experiences? I got one for ya. imagine you're 5'2". female. Rather attracted to your rather beautiful female best friend, but completely socially inept. this is in high school. Utter geek. one of those people that people hang out with, just to copy their homework. the kind that eats her lunch alone, 'cuz she just can't stand that many people around. Now, imagine being picked on for your sexual orientation, not because you've gone around kissing women or anything, but because your best friend, who is, sadly, quite straight, gives you hugs, and shares her coat with you! And, always the same people pointing the finger. They are all the "beautiful" people. the athletes, the cheerleaders. the "in" crowd.
And yeah, i hear where you're coming from, because i get quiet whenever I am stuck talking to that handsome, tall man in the room. whenever the woman who is effortlessly beautiful and arrogant about it, is around. BUT, I try, conciously, knowing that i have this tic, to give them the benefit of hte doubt until they prove they don't deserve it.
I would suggest that you do the same. i've known some lovely gay people, and some asshole straight people, as well as vice versa. it's not about who you fuck, it's about who you ARE.
