Alright, so there's this guy in my class, that I really really like. I've liked him for a while now, but I've always been too afraid to say anything to him.
The other day in class, kids from other classes were passing around questionaires for data and whatnot. Well, one of them was about sexuality. My friend had told me that she figured he was gay, because, he's got great style, he's got a gentle voice, he's an amazing artist, (I know, I'm stereo typing), and he's just interesting and whatnot. So, I was watching him as he filled the survey out, because I was kinda curious. The first part of the survey was like this:
"What's your sexuality?"
a)Straight
b)Homosexual
c)Bisexual
If you answered a, then continue on to questions 2-10. If you answered b or c, then continue on to 11-16.
11 and 16 were on the back, and he filled it out on the back. I have no problem with him being gay, but it's just that I always seem to fall for gay boys, and it feels like I'll never find a cool, straight, guy.
I personally wouldn't want to date someone who's bisexual, not because I have anything against bisexuals (a couple of my close friends are) but it would be weird dating one, because it's bad enough thinking that a guys comparing you to other girls, but to other guys? That would just be uncomfortable.
Am I being stupid? Should I just forget about him? I really would just like being friends with him, but it's impossible to talk to him because he's so shy. Please help.

HyperactiveMiss answered Sunday April 3 2005, 5:36 am: That doesn't mean he's bisexual or gay. Guys can joke around. Or maybe he was just curious what was on the back, I know I would have been.
But, if he really was gay or bi, you should have no problem with him.
Listen to yourself, dear...
"I personally wouldn't want to date someone who's bisexual, not because I have anything against ... That would just be uncomfortable."
There is no "but". You either have something against them or you don't. And feeling uncomfortable means you do.
I've had my heart broken by a guy before. He liked me, but that was when he was unsure about his sexuality, not a good time to get involved with anyone. Then he decided he was gay. Yeah, I was crushed. So I know how you feel.
But that shouldn't keep you from being friends with the guy. If he's shy, just be friendly and slowly become part of the picture. If you find out he's gay, you should still be his friend. Who knows, he could give you great fashion tips ;) lol. If you find out he's bi, you should go for it because dating is about experiencing new things. You say you've always fallen for gay boys. Well if he's bi this is your chance to date the guy you've always wanted. [ HyperactiveMiss's advice column | Ask HyperactiveMiss A Question ]
itsjustme answered Sunday April 3 2005, 1:53 am: fliping the page over doesnt automatically make him gay or bisexual. i would have fliped it over just to see what type of questions they were asking. guys never take surveys seriously. they give joke answers and mess with the people taking them.
there is nothing to loose by asking him out even if you think there is a possibility that he is gay (and also nothing wrong with a girl asking out a guy) just go for it. if he is gay, the worst that could happen is he tells you so, no harm done.
you shouldnt be uncomfortable about him being bisexual. it just means that he is open to love in no matter waht vessel it takes.
if you want any tips on asking him out through nerves or shyness, go ahead and ask [ itsjustme's advice column | Ask itsjustme A Question ]

The fact is that you don't know for sure what he wrote on his survey. Maybe he wrote it's none of your buisness! That would have been great.
Unless he tell's you straight up that he's gay, you guy's really shouldn't be speculating.There is absolutley nothing wrong with being gay.BUT,my guess is he is to young to deal with the malicious gossip that will spread like wildfire about him if people start gossiping.So make sure that your friend doesn't go around tellin everyone that the guy is possibly gay if she hasn't been told this by him.

lorelei answered Saturday April 2 2005, 10:54 pm: In any case, you should let him know that you're there if he ever wants someone to talk to. Don't push friendship on him, but try saying hi when you see him even if it doesn't seem like a conversation will come of it. Make small talk and things like that.
If he turns out to be gay, you'll have a new friend which is always awesome. :)
If he's bisexual and you like him enough, you should be able to look past the fact that he's also interested in guys. If you really like someone, you should be able to accept who they are, right?
Plus, if someone's comparing you to past significant others, whether they are straight or bisexual, it isn't fair to you.
