( See, here's the thing. Eddie doesn't know that Steve isn't straight. And he's not sober and definitely not thinking all of this through on why it's such a terrible idea to go about it this way.
Because this could just be interpreted as an experiment. Eddie has been that for a lot of guys before, letting them try out the whole "gay thing" and then go back to pretending they're straight as an arrow. But Steve isn't any of those guys, and Eddie doesn't want to be just an experiment.
But he wants to know. He's surrounded by this horrific plaid, and he needs to know, needs to put himself into the shoes of every girl that's been here before. Especially when Steve goes and brushes his hair behind his ear, causing Eddie's bottom jaw to drop a little in surprise. )
I mean, you've got me here, right? ( He gestures around to Steve's bedroom. ) Here where many a lady has been before. How does Steve Harrington woo a lady?
