I'm not into guys but I got hit on by a guy with a pretty good pick-up line which I would probably use if I were gay. I was standing at the finish line of a race and a guy standing next to me said, "There's a lot of cute guys here, huh?" At first I started to respond, "I... guess..." and then I realized he was hitting on me. Pretty smooth way to ferret out whether a guy is open to other guys.

I'm not sure that would work too often. I'm also not gay but I notice when I've caught the eye of someone who is; it's subtle but very obvious. I imagine if I were gay it would be very likely I'd be more attuned to this than I am now. So, I doubt there's a need to be so brazen?

Eh, or maybe he just noticed how much you had been staring at the other guys.

I'd never thought of it that way before - thanks for the insight!

Also, not all gay people are monogamous! That makes things complicated if you are. Your dating pool dwindles smaller and smaller.

Good on ya. :)

Haha wow I never realized that aspect. Complicated! Ahwell it still all boils down to trust I guess :-)
