  Cuenca, Ecuador
Saturday, January 19, 2008

I was hit on by a young gay guy today while hanging out in the main plaza happily reading a book. He came and sat down on the bench next to me, uncomfortably passing glances discreetly my way. When I finally looked up at him a few minutes later and made full eye contact he said hello and asked how I was. I responded, "Muy bien, gracias, un dia hermosa. Y tu?" That was his chance. After that he started asking me what I was doing in Cuenca, how I liked it, how old I was etc.. At one point he asked where I lived and I just gave him the general area...still trying to read if he was just wanted casual conversation of if he had some ulterior motive. That question was answered soon after.

He then jumped from regular talk, to if it were true that American guys have 'penes grandes' between their legs and if americans are more sexually free and open about all things, sex, homosexuality, love etc... What about black guys? That was all a little awkward, especially because he had been quite nice at the beginning. I told him that to my dismay on everyone elses behalf, it is the truth, for some reason or another we are a country of well-endowed people. After that, I knew if shouldn't have played around with it like I did because if that was Rated R and he asked about two NC-17 questions afterward that I care not to repeat. I repectfully gave two word answers back or said that I think it is a little bit weird to ask a complete stranger the things you are asking. He went back to asking some normal questions about life in Ecuador and how he wanted to leave and find work and go to America and how he wanted to practice his english with someone. He asked for my email and said that he would like if if he could try and practice some english and write me occassionally. Maybe meet up sometime as he was wating for his younger brother to be done with school. I happily gave him a fake one, sorry helloyellow1979@hotmail.com if you exist out there. Cutting it off there, I packed my book away and said, "As a matter of fact, I need to leave right now and go use the internet before seeing my girlfriend." Maybe he was completely innocent, who knows, but I didn't think so. I tend to judge people pretty well I think. He wasn't dangerous I knew that but just a little pestering because the next thing he said was, "I know where there is one very close." Great I thought, and told him that I have a favorite one with fast internet that I always go to even though it is a little out of the way. That didn't keep him from saying, "Oh, well I would like to know where it is too then so I can go there sometime." YUP, how do I get myself into these situations I have no clue!!

We walked to my internet place and the guy at the main computer, seeing who had walked in with me this time, looked at me in a completely different way that he had ever done so before. My new friend, Jorge (because I already forgot his name) had apparently been here before. I asked for a computer thinking that Jorege would get one too. WRONG. He followed me, grabbed a seat next to me and then proceeded to observe quietly as I surfed the net. I obviously couldn't check my email now, and so I had to randomly surf between bbc, espn and msn.com...acting like I was really interested in the things I was reading. In other words...friendship over buddy. I don't mind it if you are homosexual and if you happen to be attracted to me, I can't do anything about that, just don't be so overly aggressive and get the 'mensaje' dammit. Being that forward isn't right in any situation let alone in Ecuador where people aren't generall forward with you!

Well, after I thought he got the point and asked if he could show me a website so I reluctantly agreed. To my surprise, actually more like I was already expected it, he showed me some girl on girl porn website and asked if I liked it. The entire time I was completely emotionless, that is, I was past the point of caring so when he showed it to me I didn't surprise me the least bit. I replied, "No, not really" and told him that was enough for me to look at and that I should get going now. I got up, said goodbye and good luck to him and told him to write an email to me if he so likes..." I'll respond as soon as I can.

What a day...
