Hearsay is gossip. First-hand knowledge is truth.\n\nA warning is neither gossip nor truth - it is prudent.

No.  As long as they weren't being offensive in what they said when gossiping to others about what they believed my sexuality to be.  Most of my Friends are pretty straight shooters.  We try to not gossip over much about things concerning the group.  We tend to circle the wagons.  if she or he WERE malicious in their commentary, I would be offended by the way they talked.  Not by what they said.  And no...I'm not gay.  I'm Italian and Irish.  Very passionate people.  We do alot of hugging.  Way touchy feely races of people I come from.  Could be mis-construed.  I've had a number of gay woman come on to me.  lol   I take it as compliment, but don't take them up on the offer.  :)

Something to talk about but not to be taken seriously

No, I don't think so.  There are some friendships developing, which is to be expected.  But as far as popularity, no.

it doesn't really matter what other people say - it is for their own entertainment and won't have a huge effect on your life if you don't let it. like another commenter said, if someone askes you then tell them the truth, but don't go out of your way to change what everyone thinks or people will just gossip more

=people like to gossip and spread rumours about others either too boost their self-esteem or to be funny.  Truth is either way does it matter?  you either like hm or you don't.

Ignore it. \nIf any one ask you about the rumor just say it is not true, and you don't have time for that kind of talk... ignore them... people who like rumors like to see people get mad and affected about what they've said... if you act like you don't care, they will eventually stop picking on you.

Yes people gossip here in Pasadena Texas. I myself have been guilty of this sin. It is something that I am working on.\n\nA lot of times, I guess we have nothing better to talk about.  Instead of facing up to our own lives, our own mistakes, we'd (society that is) would rather hear about how bad someone else is or what they did.\n\nPretty sad huh?

Light gossip is normal, no matter where you go. Those who have no life engage in it incessantly. Those who have a lot going on for themselves (who have a life) and are relatively stable and secure in themselves will hardly take notice of the gossip and rarely be affected by it.

My rabbi taught that gossip is a very evil sin.  In most sins they effect only the sinner.  In gossip you are tearing down at least 3 people...yourself, the one you are gossiping to and the one you are gossiping about.\n\nJewish folklore tells the story of a man who slandered the town's rabbi. Later, he begged the rabbi for forgiveness, asking to make amends. The rabbi told him to cut open a feather pillow in the wind. This he did and the feathers scattered everywhere. "Now I'm forgiven?" asked the man.\n\n"Yes," answered the rabbi, "as soon as you go and gather all the feathers." "But that's impossible!"\n\n"Exactly. When we speak badly about someone, the damage spreads and has far-reaching repercussions. It is impossible to fully repair." \n\nI am Jewish/Christian

I think she has an integrity issue and I think you should leave her alone.  It also occurs to me that if anything came of you and her, wouldn't everyone know?  I think she's toying with you and seeking a little more gossip to spread.\n\nSorry sweetie.  There are really good girls out there and you deserve so much better than this.

I TOTALLY agree. People, I've learned, gossip (one of many reasons) because they do not have anything else in common with this person they are gossiping to so they have to bring YOUR name into some mess in order to form a bond with someone who would otherwise have nothing to do with their punk a**. (Yeah, that's right, I'm bitter lol)
