Seinfeld episode #57

Are there any Seinfeld fans out there? I love the show! It's actually the reason why I don't watch a lot of TV anymore - when it went off the air, I pretty much stopped finding anything interesting (tho, I hear I can catch reruns several times a day, if I wanted to!).

I often find many times in my life that fit well with different goings on in the TV show Seinfeld; and, today, it was episode #57 - The Outing....
One of my best friends and I often go out for dinner on Tues. nights, as was the case tonight. We usually pick a comfortable place where we can enjoy good food, receive good service, in a relaxin atmosphere - tonight that was Joey Tomatoes. When we sat down, our waitress began asking us some odd questions - normally not the questions you'd ask a couple of guys. It was after she brought our drinks and further inquired about our lives that I realized, she thought we were a couple!! "Not that there's anything wrong with that."
It bothered me at first, but I eventually got over the fact that it doesn't really matter what she thinks. I even confronted her at the end of the meal - she denied her assumption, of course. It was easy to tell she was trying to cover-up afterward, with an increase in attention, but we knew!

This incident reminded me about the last time I was mistaken for an homosexual ("Not that there's anything wrong with that!"). I was in high school, and was actually approached by another man. It freaked me out, completely. I think it shook me pretty hard b/c I remember asking my friends quite frequently if I looked gay.
Then there was this time when I was in university... I had recently broken up with a long-time girl friend; but, pretty much kept going out doing what I would normally do - except w. one of my guy friends. Our friends all joked that we were gay, but it was all in jest. However, through many different circumstances, I began to not find women attractive. I thought, "Maybe I am gay?!" Thankfully, that phase passed, and am fully confident in my heterosexuality.
Or am I? I mean, I did feel uncomfortable tonight when our waitress thought my friend & I were gay. Sure, it ended up being funny - funny enough that I want to share the laughs with the world (or anyone who reads this goofy blog, anyway) - but, there were those moments when I was feeling insecure. I guess something else we're gonna have to work on w. the Lord. LOL!

Merry Christmas all!
