Indeed, the "folder within a folder" approach is what we'd be hoping for…

I think you should ask him out, but not exactly for a "date" just hang out as friends. Then, when you have more interaction with him, you'll find out if he's actually gay or not. Those things might come out when he talks about relationships, his experiences, or the lack of them. After that, yo could make a move on him.

Has anyone here an invitation for a good no porn private torrent site?  ???

Thanks for reminding me of this series.  I read them as they were released and thought they were excellent as Fantasy which had gay characters, as opposed to most of the trashy gay romance that's churned out.  Mercedes Lackey is a well-known and respected author in the Fantasy and Sci-Fi genres.  I look forward to re-reading these in a single sitting.
