purple suede loafers

Recently, I discovered that one of my exes may very well be gay, something that many friends hastened to tell me AFTER we broke up. This is the second time this has happened to me, and trust me, there have been many theories as to why ( I don't even WANT to know). In order to prevent this scandal from happening to some other young, naïve, trusting girl, I’ve put together a list of things to look out for when you’re dating someone new.

Ten hints that the guy you’re dating is gay:

  1. He likes shopping much more than you do. So much more, he would forgo food or drink for several hours to pursue the perfect pair of sunglasses and leave your hypoglycaemic ass in the dust.

  2. He mentions how he thinks he’s getting fat, when clearly he’s not.

  3. He asks you what he should wear to a hipster art opening. You could only PRAY a straight guy would ever ask you what he should wear before going out.

  4. His sexual fantasies involve you and a $3500 Dolce & Gabanna coat. It’s about the coat. Not you.

  5. He goes on weekend getaways with his guy friends whom you’ve never met. Double red flag: When he tells you they’re ‘foreign’ and like to sleep in the same bed, with a good attempt at a look of disgust on his face.

  6. He gets drunk and tells you that what he really wanted to be when he grew up was a fashion designer.

  7. Another fantasy involving expensive designer jeans, the ocean and you. Again, not about you – or the ocean for that matter. Totally about the jeans.

  8. He uses your tweezers/razor/lotions when on vacation or at your house. I don’t even want to know what area he used them in.

  9. He takes three times as long to get ready as you do before you go out on a date.

  10. When he meets your parents, your mom comments on how ‘the scarf is a little much’.
