That's happened to me too. Except I Don't have a brother.

I am sorry. it was sweet of you to give her your arm to hold

agreed with #3. the only way to a woman's heart is through pain and suffering. make her believe that you are too good for her. if she is a shameless whore with daddy issues (most women are) she will be desperate for your approval, which will most likely mean sleeping with you.

we gentlemen never get the credit we deserve. in many cases, never even the attention as the ladies would rather be with some chongo jock type

i would love if on the 1st date the guy gave me his arm to hold. ;)

That's not a bad thing at all. Girls who had experiences having crushes on guys who turned out to be gay often try to preempt it happening again by assuming any guy they like is gay. Just tell her you're not. It's really likely she'll be interested.

what a F***ing skank

I agree with 2 & 3. Smack her, prove to her that you are in fact a man's man. Nothing says 'I'm straight and we could be good together' like a backhand to the mouth. No, joking, I hope you corrected her.

#6 is right.

#6!! awesome
