Accused of being gay?

Straight/bi females: was there a guy you thought was hot but you didn't know if he was gay and if so would you want this guy to approach you?
a guy that 'looks gay,' just isn't hot to me
the guy was hot but i just didn't know if he was gay or straight
if i questioned his sexuality and he approached me i would like it finally knowing that he actually is interested and straight
if the guy seems gay and doesn't approach me i just assume he's gay
i would never approach a guy that looked gay, but i would like it if he approached me
if i think the guy looks gay, i wouldn't care if he's straight, i wouldn't be attracted to him even if he did approach me
