Late at night yesterday, I had what would be considered a relatively (tame) homoerotic exchange with my friend, and while they aren't uncommon in my friend circle, one guy friend, as always, had inquired about the nature of our relationship, including if this is how girls generally behaved with each other. Neither of us think we have really flirted with each other; all the compliments, blushing, and calling them names are playful jokes, platonically affectionate at large.
On the topic of boys, as someone who has been around the guy communities for a long time, I've seen both people at the opposite end of the spectrum about the subject, from people who act explicitly gay with each other to people who are afraid of doing anything they think may seem remotely gay. The reason for such contrast can be discussed and explained, but the affectionate gesture of cuddling, sharing a bed, or complimenting differs from the more sexual nature of a jokey approach practiced by men. This is not to say that we don't have similar versions.
At the end of it, I'm not foolish enough to suggest that the nature of a homoerotic relationship may not vary from person to person, which really ties down to my question: for the girls out there, do you have friends you are close with that you think you can flirt with? And the guys, if you can express your affection straight-faced to a guy friend.
How gay do you act around them?
