Queer Lady Bait

A girl's gay friend that a male suitor befriends to get closer to the girl.
I was at a party last night and all he talked about was how cool you are. He kept asking me to leave with him to go see you bar-tending. He used you as queer lady bait to hit on me, -- it was totally weird.
