Hi Jeff,
Thanks again for your comment.
Again, I respect your interpretation of the scene. In some way, you are right but my observation of the scene may be one of a personal experience that happened in January 1999 when I applied for a 2-year assignment as an avionics designer with an aerospace company here. There was another candidate applying for that same position. We both got interviewed and both got the position at the same location (different aircrafts). I met him the following day in the Project Director's office and that's where we stole questionnable glances at one another first with apprehension but there was something else (nervousness). Three months passed although we saw each other almost every day with the usual small talk. Being gay, I found him handsome and attractive- 2 years younger than me. One night we had to work over both designs and that's when revelations were made - that was 3 months later. It thrilled me that he also felt attracted to me. We saw each other often thereafter until 911 when both of our positions were abolished (being contract workers) as aircraft orders were being cancelled by the tons. Needless to say, we had our share of passions and, etc., etc. Eventually, we lost contact somewhat sadly.
What I'm getting at is initially it was just a noticeablel physical attraction with no sexual intent in mind and I'm saying this with honesty. He felt the same way.
Perhaps this may clarify my observation of the scene.

P.S. The person I very often have in mind is Chuck from Valemont, BC, who I met on a skiing vacation in December 1998 in Jasper, Alberta. He, though, never revealed to me his sexual orientation and I never inquired into it although we spent every night together.
