You may think you know what you like. But you could be wrong.

If I had a quarter for every guy I have liked who came out to me, I would be able to afford to retire by now.

My gaydar definitely needs to be recalibrated. I have an "innocent until proven gay" policy. Unless you are prancing around in a glitter top and singing Cher songs, I will generally wait to pass judgment. That is about the only case in which I don't pass judgment, so feel lucky.

This has led to some awkward romantic encounters. There was the time when I was about to confess my undying love to a friend at dinner when he pointed out a beautiful boy at the table next to us. The guy I went to dinner with, only to meet up with his boyfriend later that night. The guy who asked me to pose as his girlfriend when his parents came into town. And, my personal favorite, the guy who swore that he was into girls and emphatically claimed that he "loves boobs" and at the bar that night, I came back from the bathroom to find him making out with a man.

The celebrities that I love aren't safe, either.. When Neil Patrick Harris publicly came out, six different people called me to express their condolences. I spent the morning after Jonathan Groff's announcement on the phone with friends, in too much of a state of shock to work.

Which leads me to this past weekend. I saw two of my good friends in a play at my local community theater, and my attention was drawn to a particular actor who is new to the theater, D_____. He had a great jawline and, as weird as this sounds, a really nice nose. He was also very funny and had a great comic delivery.

After the show, I was talking to one of my friends and I mentioned that I had been admiring D_____. He snorted a bit and said, "Ohhh, D_____." When I pressed him further, he admitted, "W__ and I think that D_____'s sexuality is....questionable."

To which I answered, "OF COURSE YOU DO. OF COURSE."

Watch out, men of the world. You may think you're straight. But if I get my eyes on you, you'll suddenly discover that you're horribly wrong.

I believe it's you "innocent until proven gay" policy that is the core issue. Reverse it, and then you won't have any issues.
