Why would a guy keep asking if you are 100% fully straight? I have already confirmed I am straight (heterosexual) but he has asked this a few times?

This guy I have been in the early stages of talking to/getting to know each other has asked me a few times if I am definitely straight. I wouldn't normally wouldn't think anything of this, however he has asked a few times the same question, once just before we hooked up and at the start of us starting to date, but despite me saying that I am straight he keeps asking.

I was just wondering if this is a normal thing for guys to ask, or keep bringing up to a girl who they are interested in or who is clearly interested in them.

part of me thinks he keeps bringing this up, because maybe he isn't fully straight, which if he isn’t is completely fine and I would be okay with, and he just doesn't know how to properly open this kind of communication up.

I may be overthinking this too much, just find it a bit odd that he keeps asking

Yep usually it’s because they aren’t - have you asked him ?

romdowa · 04/11/2024 04:52

He probably finds lesbians a turn on , maybe he wants to know if you'll have a 3some. Regardless its a red flag that he keeps asking.

This has been my only experience when a guy repeatedly asks if I'm straight or refuses to believe I am :/

I think you need to be more direct. "I've said no I'm not interested in women several times. Why do you keep asking? "

violentovulation · 04/11/2024 05:03

It's because he wants to watch you have sex with another woman because it turns him on.

I am bisexual, and whenever I've been asked this question I responded with I'm not straight, but I'm not interested in group sex or having sex with another woman to turn you on.

I've tried group sex and I didn't enjoy it at all. I prefer one on one sexual encounters.

  1. Isn't straight himself
  2. Into lesbian porn. Sees women as objects for his gratification.
  3. Is Ross from 'Friends'. He's already been burned by a gay ex.

Yes, I have asked and said if he isnt thats okay, he says he is also definitely straight

I would also assume he's hoping for a threesome and is trying to find out your reaction.
Whatever his intentions he sounds pretty grim ... does he have other topics of conversation?

PivotPivotmakingmargaritas · 04/11/2024 05:09

Hoping you are turned on by women and therefore open to a threesome and or him watching

say no straight, and not interred in being with a woman sexually as it’s not for me.

Apologies if I missed this have you asked why he keeps asking?

if he keeps asking throw him back not worth years of bugging you to be with a woman when it’s not your turn on

CreationNat1on · 04/11/2024 05:11

He wants a threesome and wants to know if u are game.

I think this why he keeps asking, I think he doesnt believe me, theres been a few other red flags other than this, which makes me think he’s using me for sex, so i think its time to bin him off

HoppingPavlova · 04/11/2024 05:41

I’d say it’s either because he isn’t; or, all of his previous dates have left him on the basis ‘they actually prefer women’ (instead of telling him the truth - it’s just him they are not into after getting to know him).

I did ask him, but he does dodge the question and says he’s just asking, i’ve asked him if he’s straight and said its fine if he’s not or if he’s figuring out.

i think he thinks i’m not being honset

He's after a threesome and he'll "disbelieve" you to pressure you into one.

category12 · 04/11/2024 05:52

No, I think he doesn't like your answer, therefore he's keeping on going to try to make you change it.

ilikeeggs · 04/11/2024 06:21

Like others have said it sounds like he’s sounding you out for the possibility of a threesome with another girl. He keeps asking because he doesn’t like your answer.

DatingDinosaur · 04/11/2024 06:23

"I did ask him, but he does dodge the question and says he’s just asking, "

Aside from him asking the question in the first place, repeatedly, this would raise an alerter flag for me and I'd have to ask him why he keeps asking and why he's dodging the question himself.

TwistedWonder · 04/11/2024 06:24

He keeps asking because he wants you to suddenly say ‘yes you’re right I’m actually bi’ and then he’ll float the idea of a threesome or watching you with another woman.

Its pretty sleazy and creepy to keep asking

DatingDinosaur · 04/11/2024 06:25

Maybe someone he loved / loves ran off with another woman.

NautilusLionfish · 04/11/2024 06:26

Tell him you are actually zwaquasexual and phwargwarsexual. If he asks you what these are tell him you feel erased and offended then cut contact

Is his name Ross?

AgentJohnson · 04/11/2024 06:43

Don’t go down the rabbit hole of trying to figure him out, move on already.

Swivelhead · 04/11/2024 06:44

He's a creep.

GreyCarpet · 04/11/2024 06:48

I'd say it's because he either hopes you are straight (because he's had a woman leave him for a woman before) or because he hopes you're not (and is looking for a threesome/wants to watch you with another woman).

Either way, it's not a rabbit hole you need to go down or he worrying yourself about. Coupled with there being other red flags around sex, I'd be ending it and then it doesn't matter what his reasons are.

Nothanks17 · 04/11/2024 06:52

Perhaps his last partner turned out not to be straight (or bisexual) and the breakdown fucked with him? Maybe someone keft him for another woman? Not all guys are creeps
