Yes it was a real question. Sounds like you would be a good friend. You’re right that’s why I asked the question. Thanks for the help.

Sounds like you really have it ?together?.
Yea, I definitely avoid those whose entire life revolves around being Gay. I?m not really interested in all of that.
You?re correct about the ?any thoughts of boning them must be suppressed.? I do that all the time. I guess that is why I never had any problems with friendships with guys I have absolutely no attraction to. The others I just force myself not to get too close. It can get sort of paranoid. Did I make eye contact too long? No physical contact of any kind, etc.
And I guess that was the answer that I was looking for. Just let my guard down, and I?m sure I would learn soon enough where the line was drawn. Hopefully with out getting ?punched in the nose?.
Thanks for the advice.

Singer/Songwriter/Commedian Stephen Lynch has a little diddy on this very issue… Below are the lyrics of the song intended for his gay buddy who just won’t leave well enough alone…
The last verse is all in jest of course.
Here we are
Dear old friends,
You and i drunk again,
laughs have been had
tears have been shed,
maybe the whisky has gone to my head,
but if i were gay
i would give you my heart,
and if i were gay
you’d be my work of art,
and if i were gay
we would swim in romance,
but im not gay
so get your hand out of my pants,
-bridge
its not that i dont care
i do,
i just dont see myself, in you,
another time another scene
i’d be right behind you if you know what i mean,
coz if i were gay
i would give my soul,
and if i were gay
i would give you my hole… being,
and if i were gay
we would tear down the walls,
But I’m Not gay
so wont you stop cupping my Balls,
-bridge
we’ve never hugged
we’ve never kissed,
i’ve never been intimate
with your fist,
but you have opened brand new doors,
get over here and drop … your … Drawers!!!
Hope that sheds a little light on where straight guys are coming from in maintaining friendships with guys who aren’t…
There is a line, a very visible line, inbetween being homeys and being lovers.
However, I think you need to air out your feelings to your straight buddies. It shouldn’t be your responsibility alone to maintain that line. Your buddy should also recognize if you’re lingering too long in a stare or a butt squeeze and communicate that it’s not cool, rather than dump you as a bro because of the offending gesture.
