ok well i really like my best friend but he doesnt know and i cant tell him because well i either want things to work out in a bf gf way or just stay best friends. but i cant handle awkwardness around him. like lets say he doesnt like me and then i have to see him every day and yea it would be weird. a long time ago, months ago, i liked him and told him. he couldnt like me because he was going through a gay phase. but hes not gay now. he just wasnt sure at the time. so i know there is a chance he likes me. there are clear signs that he does. but those were also there when he was gay. he led me on and then hurt me. i have no idea why. and to top it all off, my friends are pissed at him because he has a tendency to piss people off. so they are like ditching him and i am like his only friend now. so naturally he treats me soo well. like he is super nice and stuff. what do you guys think? should i drop the whole liking him and just try to be friends?? thanx in advance
Oh, and this is a little off topic, but you can't be gay and then just NOT be gay. So there's no such thing as "he used to be gay". You're probably very young and young people, mostly girls, like to say ignorant thinks like "I used to be bi, but I just like guys now". That's ridiculous. Experimentation is normal, but you can't CHANGE your sexual preference at the drop of a hat.
I'm not saying he was never into guys. He could've been experimenting with the idea and realized he preferred to be with girls. BUT that doesn't mean he was gay. That means he was trying to find out who he was. [ lbwhite89's advice column | Ask lbwhite89 A Question ]

runawayxlove answered Saturday April 28 2007, 7:59 pm: hey, well you shouldnt just write him off completely as a possible boyfriend. you should ask who he likes or who he has an interest in. if he says you straight up, tell him how you feel as well. if he doesnt just come out and say it, but you think that he indicated that he has feelings for you, just ask him straight up. say something like "it kind of sounds like your talking about me, i could be wrong". if there is any sparks or anything, you need to tell him that you dont want to get hurt again. also tell him that he needs to make sure that its you and that its only you that he likes and also that his orientation is straight. good luck.
