i have four best friends and all five of us hang out in a group all the time. two of them are guys and two of them are girls. anyway when one of the guys isn't with us my other friends talk about how they think the guy who is gone is gay. (i know for a fact that he isn't because i've done stuff with him and no one knows...) but it really doesn't matter if he is or not i just don't think it's right that they do this. should i tell my guy friend what everyone else is saying about him...or would that just cause trouble?

TalkToMeDahling answered Monday July 23 2007, 4:51 pm: There are two ways you can approach this situation one way is to confront your other friends i'm not saying you should spill the beans about what you to did, just say i don't think he's gay but you guys don't know and talking about people behind their back is mean, if that is not the path you want to take you can approach this guy and say i don't think you're gay but there are some people who do, but this confrontation can be a tough one be gentle but not too gentle you don't want to put him on the defensive, and make sure that he knows you think he's great the way he is so he shouldn't change himself just so they stop talking.

and yes you should tell him. if its about him, he needs to know. but you might need to be ready for some drama. but if you dont feel like dealing with that, you should just get the other guy to stop, and possibly choose not to tell him.
it depends on what you feel's right. no matter what it takes.
Deana answered Saturday July 21 2007, 2:08 am: noo you should sooo tell him. he deserves to know. And no,it wasnt right for your friend to say that. friends dont talk about eachother behind there back.
dwpoopoohead answered Saturday July 21 2007, 2:04 am: i think if i were in your shoes i would tell him
he needs to know and if you dont tell him then it may end up bad, you know the kind that turn around and slap you in the face.
Teenagerr answered Saturday July 21 2007, 2:02 am: I think you should tell him, but make sure he doesn't mention it to anyone else in the group. When people talk about me, I find that I feel better when I know about it. Wouldn't you? As long as he doesn't let them know you told him, there shouldn't be much trouble.
crickee1613 answered Saturday July 21 2007, 2:01 am: friends tell each other everything but i would ask the guy who theyre talking about to not tell them you told him because then they wont trust you even if they should because .. what if it was them who they were talking about they would have to wonder if you would tell them too right? ♥christina [ crickee1613's advice column | Ask crickee1613 A Question ]
