Cruising Etiquette

While cruising, remember it is important to have regards for others.

It is never appropriate to physically touch another guy if you are not absolutely sure he is interested. Cues must always be used first.
Never assume a guy is automatically interested in you just because he is cruising.
It can be easy to not recognize or misread a cue. In uncertain situations it is best to not pursue any further.
If a guy shakes his head, says no, frowns at you, or does not reciprocate your signals, it means he is not interested. Do not continue to pursue him.
Do not persistently follow a guy around unless he has signaled you to.
Avoid being obvious when cruising. Do not repeatedly enter and exit a bathroom or public vicinity. Do not stay in these areas for extended amounts of time.
If two guys are already playing; you can signal your interest but do not stay and watch if you are not invited to join.
Avoid playing in plain view or any area where bystanders, families, or children can see you.
Never take pictures or record video of another person without their permission.
