I have no Gaydar

No Gaydar, not even an ounce! One of my best friends is gay and has been making fun of me for a couple years about the lack of Gaydar.  I call it being hopeful that the cute guy over there wants to pick me up not my best friend. According to the New York Times Gaydar is real and scientifically exists, read the article.

Here is what happened:

It was time for some quality hang out time with my good friend mentioned above and he had invited me to the Inglewood Lawn Bowling Club for an evening of lawn bowling and dinner. It was my first time and when we arrived we were certainly the youngest. There was one other female there, a lovely older lady who was there to socialize and have dinner then very swiftly disappeared. When I go to his place for parties I am generally both the token female and token straight gal. I am used to it. As we were eating dinner I started to notice that there were only men arriving. I am not going to say that some were obviously gay because I did not know. We continued eating when the one person I did not know at the table left I finally asked the question:

Shellie Moment: Is it gay night tonight? Well my best friend just started laughing at how oblivious I was! Innocent me unaware of gay night at Inglewood Lawn Bowling Club. I thought it was just men's night. So yet again I was the token female and the token straight person.

It was a fun night though. I was not responsible for a single point but I had some really good throws for it being my first time and all.
