Trust me, not the first time this sort of confusion has followed due to my moniker. Ironically the name Madison was originally exclusively a male name (re: Son of Mad/Matthew) but has veered towards the gender-neutral in the last half-century. Thanks Splash.
As for your flattery, I'm not totally certain if you're 'taking the piss' as our British brethren are wont to say, or if this was an earnest miscommunication. I'll risk embarrassment and err on the side of the latter for the sake of clarity; I am in fact heterosexual, though despite being a boring zero on the ol' Kinsey Scale I do identify strongly as an ally. Which is to say there are no judgements, but also no dickpics. My proposal for dinner had been meant under the onus of platonic bonding, not romantic interest. Again, apologies if that was misleading.
