Rule #1

K.

Rule #Uno, 1, Jed (hey, I'm a mutt of background's and Polish is one of them also Czech, Dutch, Cherokee (check out my cheekbones if you doubt ;)) , German,...the list goes on and on).

Rule number one in Hilary's lesbian handbook is....Never date or go after the straight girl. Admire them, comment on how HOTT they are (can anyone say Erin Phillips...yummy!) , but never ever go after them in a serious attempt to be in a relationship. If they are truly gay, they will realize it in their own time and come out. Simple. Don't push, shove, nudge or suggest.

This might seem obvious. You're gay, she's straight - what's to figure out? But, both straight and gay women seem to have a fascination with each other. One wants to know what it's like to be with a women, the other wants to show the other how life is much more improved by being with a woman. It is quite literally insane on everyone's part.

I myself have never gone after the straight girl (learned from years of experience). Yeah, I've danced with her at clubs-fun, been offered the room key- tempting, flirted with her to get a Dirty Grey Goose Martini : three olives thank you, - am I bad?, but I never slept with them. I'm GREAT at deflecting. However comma many of my lesbian friends tried to be with straight women with disastrous results. I have never seen any good come from it. You THINK you've seen lesbian drama? Try experiencing it with a straight girl. I can't count on my fingers, toes and black eyes how many times I've had to break up the straight/lesbian fight. Those straight girls can throw a punch...in the wrong direction of course.

Bottom line, just don't give in. I knooooowwwww, you think she's the love of your life. But, she's straight, you are gay. Don't fight it. This is not "The Notebook", ---it is real life. We work, take out the trash, do laundry just the same. Just not WITH STRAIGHT GIRLS. We all have gaydar. We know who is and isn't. Don't be ridiculous. Admire, don't aquire. :)

Btw, I now have a trademark on the whole "admire, don't aquire" thing, so, don't even try to steal it. :)
