Did this man think I was hitting on him?

This morn, I was at the gym. I went to the water fountain and saw this guy playing basketball w his friend (they were probably 35-40 yr old, I'm 20).

This man was wearing the most American t-shirt I've ever seen. Just this tshirt that was an animated flag wth a giant bald eagle on half of it wing on the back&front.

I went up to him and said " hey what's good bro? I need to know where you got that tshirt brother." He seemed complimented and said a thrift store. He told me if I came here often to text him and if he finds one online he'll hook me up with one (for free).

He gave me his buisness card (again, he's like 40 and is an accountant so has a buisness card). I said dope and texted "Hey this is robbin, from the gym" 5 mins after. He texted back "yes, sir?" I didn't respond.

I told people about the shirt and they were telling me that we came off as gay. Which I dont care if he was gay (homosexuals/lgbt communoty doesnt bother me) but I just need this shirt.

Nobody has ever thought as me as a gay man bc of the way i act/talk (which you can never tell, but im also not gay so there's that). But if I got this shirt I would be balling out on all levels.

I've also wanted this jacket for as long as I could remember.. $400

 

Didn't seem gay to me at all.

 

I just hit confused when he said "yes, sir?" I don't wanna text him about the shirt. I'll just let him do his thing . I really gotta check out theist stores man, hidden gems in there

 

Your Spud Mackenzie style would have slayed back in the 80s and early 90s.

 

You think he’s gay because he called you sir?? Sir can be a sign of respect you know.

 

I wouldn't be "worried" about it, but it's always uncomfortable for someone to be hitting on you or thinking of you as a potential mate when you know you wouldn't be interested in them. Because you don't want to hurt their feelings or let them down. It's not necessarily some big "homophobic" thing for someone to be concerned about that.

 

Fuckin-A!

 

Now I want that T-shirt.

 

Don't get drawn into the judgements made by others Robbin.

 

it wasn't the shirt that was the topic of discussion. The reasoning that i was getting at was the conversation seemed odd and I kinda cold approached him on the shirt. the shirt was dope.

But that was back a while ago. I know realize that I was over-thinking the situation way to much and it doesn't matter if we came off as gay (we didn't) bc theres nothing wrong with that and i just simply don't care.

Still didnt get my t-shirt though
