3. Do not assume he/she is attracted to you.
4. Do not assume he/she is not attracted to you.
5. Do not expect him/her to be as excited about meeting a heterosexual as you may be about meeting a homosexual. He/she was probably raised with straight people.
6. Do not immediately start talking about your boy/girlfriend or husband/wife in order to make it clear that you are straight — he/she probably already knows.

8. Do not assume he/she is dying to talk about being homosexual.
9. Do not expect him/her to refrain from talking about being homosexual.
10. Do not trivialize his/her experience by assuming it is a bedroom issue only. He/she is homosexual 24 hours a day.
