Please Help Me Convince My Boss I'm Not Gay

"I'm just not in a financial position right now to throw away my entire wardrobe and replace it with shit from Marshall's."

You can find almost any kind of relationship on Craigslist—even a fake one. A Chicago man has placed an ad under "talent gigs" looking for someone to pretend to be his girlfriend so his boss would stop assuming he's gay.

Which he's not.

Chicago Dude writes:

I spend a lot of 1:1 time with my boss. I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm gay. I've introduced him to my best friend Harry a few times. The three of us went to a Cubs game once. We we had pretty good seats, three rows up from the first base line. Anyway, he (my boss) invited me over for dinner with his wife, and the conversation pretty much went down like this.

"Hey, Tom--why don't you come over for dinner sometime?"

"Uhh...yeah, sure, that'd be nice...maybe. Yeah."

"How about next Friday? You're not busy, are you?

"Uhhh...well...I think I might have a..."

"Great. Next Friday it is. Oh, and, you can bring Harry, if you'd like. In fact, you should."

The next day, at work, I saw him texting his wife "Tom & Harry are a yes :)"

He's offering $100 to a woman willing to go to this dinner with him and pretend to be his girlfriend.

"No physical contact necessary," he assures prospective applicants. "I am literally just trying to drive home the point that I am not gay. It's either this or sacrificing my unusually flamboyant style of dress, and I'm just not in a financial position right now to throw away my entire wardrobe and replace it with shit from Marshall's."

Of course Chicago Dude declares there's nothing wrong with being gay, it's just he feels like his boss plays the cool hetero ally card a little too hard.

"This guy is acting like he's some saint for being nice to his semi-closeted gay employee and he's always fluttering his eyelashes at me and giving me hugs and I'm not even a homosexual so I just feel guilty. I want to pull this crazy stunt and be done with it so I don't have to live in this Dalí-esque nightmare world anymore."

Feel free to apply if you live in the Chicago area and:

* are a girl

* are over 21

* aren't offended

* might be down to roll a fat spliff after dinner.

With a guy this dreamy, you might end up finding real love.
