Women crushing on gay men?

[Atonement]

Hey everyone! It's rare I make threads in here, so bare with me! I don't have a problem, I just wanted to ask other people's experiences with this. I've been out for about two years now and I've noticed that women often say, "Damnit, why aren't you straight? I would totally date you." and stuff like that. I mean, women legitimately crush on me despite knowing I'm gay. Does this happen to others? It's happened to me in a serious way about a dozen times now. I'll also hope this to straight men digging lesbians.

This girl, shes got some issues, like, shes depressed, has cut etc. From like year 8, I helped her out, and we became good friend, really close friends. I set her up with a good friend of mine, thy went out for 1 and a half years. So, we are in year 10, and he breaks it off with her, for what looks like no reason, and, I'm like, well, that was a dick-ish thing to do. Rewinding back a little, I came out in year 9, with this guy. I knew I was gay, so, eventually, everyone knew, but that is a another story. Anyway, so, she starts holding my hand, in a friend way, and its all cool. But slowly, I can feel her attach myself to me. She comes up to me and hugs me from behind, it got worse and worse. A couple of weeks ago she actually kissed me on the cheek, although, I made it pretty clear by the look on my face that, it was not at all cool, so, she has not done that since. Anyway, me and my friend have been cool for a while now, because, we both can see, that she is the dragon lady, but, I'm too nice, I can't tell her to lay off, because I know she is too emotionally unstable. Soon, I will probably tell her to lay off, but I know it will hurt her, but, I have a boyfriend, and she knows that. I really hate this situation, it sucks. :( I mean, I know I have to tell her soon, but if you have any advice, I would love it.

-raises hand-

I've -jokingly (and the people know it)- crushed on gay men before. Be it a gay actor or a gay friend or a gay person online, yeah. I've likely made a joking comment about how hot and sexy they are and how I'd date one. It's all in good spirits though generally. However, I make sure I know the person before I make comments like that. Like I'm not gonna meet someone and walk up to them and have the first thing I say be 'damm why aren't you straight i'd date you'. But yeah once I know them I'll say stuff like that. I dunno.

@ tapdog - I'd tell her sooner than later. The longer you wait, the harder it's gonna be and the worse it likely will be.

It's more annoying if ur not out and they hit on u. I mean, if u want a way to out yourself, keep turning them down...
