The classmate said that he, Mateen and other classmates would hang out, sometimes going to gay nightclubs, after classes at Indian River Community College police academy. One night, he said Mateen asked him if he was gay. He said no, because he wasnt telling people he was gay at the time.
We went to a few gay bars with him, and I was not out at the time, so I declined his offer, said the former classmate, who asked that his name not be used.
He said, Well if you were gay, you would be my type. I said OK and just went on with the night, he said. It was not anything too crazy, but I take that as a pick-up line.
