Hi, I have this best friend that told me he was gay when I was 10. It like really freaked me out. But it's been 4 years and I'm cool with it then all of a sudden just out of the blue he tries to kiss me while we are riding the ferris wheel. I really need advice on what to tell him. I like him but I like him only as a brother and I just found out that he had got into a fight with my boyfriend just the other day. I really really need some help. I'm desperate. I want him as a friend but I don't want to hurt his feelings of being let down. Please.

ChosenSummerGirl answered Wednesday August 9 2006, 10:52 am: Maybe he's just bisexual!!!!...I was being sincere in saying that. There's nothing wrong. Just approach him and tell him how you feel about your friendship. tell him that you don't want to ruin it and you would like to be just friends[if you want to keep it that way].If he is a good friend he should understand that you are only trying to save the relationship that you too have as friends.

Just tell him or let him know this:
You love him like a brother and like him as your best friend. You just can't see yourselve being in a relationship (plus you have a current boyfriend, right?) You'll probably have hurt his feelings by what I've said. But give him the reason. Friendship is long lasting. Nothing can come between. But when they go out, the relationship will be broken and then what? Go back to being best friends? I don't think so. Tell him that you value your friendship dearly and it's an important factor of your life. You dont' want anything to ruin it by going out.
Even if he says that it won't affect the friendship, stand your ground. Ask him how he can assure his statement. Once you move up, you cant move back. It's too awkward and weird.
