how do u befriend stranger?

[oed86]

Just out of curiosity.. how do u mange to strike up a conversation with strangers that u find attractive? And how do u know or find out if they are or aren't gay?

I often find myself in the elevator with some cute farangs and the best i managed was to ask nicely which floor the person was going and punch the elevator button for him. I wouldn't dare risk flirting with any one of them though since its an office building and i'm not that open abouty sexuality with collegues. (The work demands a certain status of respectability too) But i often sense that those cute farangs maybe gay and maybe checking me out too but he too may not want to risk his work. I need some really good pretext for starting a chat with them but i wonder what would that be and how? And what do i have to lose if it turns out bad? Please share your farang/thai relationship experience that started out in workplace or as strangers in the same building.

Btw im thai in my late 20s. Never had a relationship with foriegner before except a long-distance one, which last only several months and had made me cynical about all long distance relations ever since.

Talk about the weather, that's always safe. Mention that you always get your coffee at @#$#@ shop. Look for clues in the eyes. I think it is a tough job though to meet someone in an elevator!

Hi

Very difficult to reply, as its a tricky situation, Weather is always a good starter, and i find , its all about ''Eye Contact'', when its more than a fleeting glance, thats normally the clue..

Best of Luck, with your quest...

Cheers

I once had someone ask me if I liked the burgers in burger king in the Silom store. I had my mouth full of food so it was difficult to answer.

Just discussed this with a European friend a few days ago.

Here in Asia, if the person you make eye contact with is not interested, he might still smile at you, thanking you that you like his looks - but he just isn't interested in guys.

In Europe, that look might have offended the other person, and you'll end up with a broken jaw.

Sorry, I'm not getting it. You have had a long-distance relationship with a guy you are living together with?

You either need to define "long-distance" or "living together", better both, for this to make sense to me.
