YES, THIS, THANK YOU FOREVER. Also I have definitely experienced the bouncing off thing, where I came out to a guy I didn't really know and had just met, and then five minutes later he asked if I had a boyfriend, and when I said no he said, "Why not?" and I was like, dude, I literally just told you I like women! And it wasn't one of those subtle/casual "my ex-girlfriend blah blah blah" coming outs -- he had actually asked me straight out about my sexual preferences.
