27. If I Laugh At All His Gay Jokes?
Hey, more reader mail! If you have a question you’d like us to answer, put it in an email, lick it, and address it to amiflirting@gmail.com.
Before we answer this question, we should be clear that we’re not talking about ignorant gay-bashing “humor” here. We’re talking about charming gay boys making charming jokes about being gay, and the other boys who love them.
If something’s really funny, laughing at it isn’t necessarily flirting. Am I flirting with Eddie Izzard if I laugh at every phrase that spews forth from his glorious mouth? Maybe that’s a bad example. The point is that having a sense of humor, while certainly attractive, doesn’t automatically make you flirty.
If his gay jokes are all terrible, but you laugh anyway just to indulge him, you are probably flirting. If you wish he would stop with the ridiculous jokes so you wouldn’t have to laugh convincingly at them, and wonder why he doesn’t just cut the crap and take you right then and there … yeah, you’re flirting. When you’re laughing sincerely, it could go either way. But if you’re laughing sincerely, why aren’t you flirting? Everyone knows that hilarious people are all A+ lovers.
