He's gay.


Question Posted Wednesday August 5 2009, 8:43 pm

We've been great friends since we met each other; everything just kind of clicked. Every day since then I have tried to figure out if I liked him as a friend or more than that, and recently I've slowly come to the conclusion that I really do like him. The deciding factor? When I figured out he was gay, I was devastated. How do I get over him while still staying his friend? He's an amazing person to hang out with, and I don't want to lose that.

im sorry you are having to go through this.

All too often this happens. You find an awesome guy, hes everything you could ever want in a guy, attractive, funny, romantic, sensative, etc, then , to much dissapointment, you realize he is gay.

If he really has his mind made up that he is never going to have a relationship with a girl, you need to be realistic with yourself, and just know that he probably likes you A LOT. BUT its not in a romantic way. The best thing you could do for him is to be a great friend. If you really care for him, make sure you are always there for him when he needs you.

hope this helps! have a great friendship =]

Hey.
I'm sorry about this :(. I know how you feel because this happened with my best friend and I. We first became good friends then best friends and then I started to like him as more. I even started thinking that he liked me too until he finally told me that he was gay on day. I was so completely heartbroken and unfortunately I let my depression drag on for way too long.

It is perfectly possible to stay friends. The main thing that you need to never forget is that he is gay and that will never change. The reason it took my so long to get over my friend is because I always had this faint hope that he would one day like me as more. But that never happened of course. No matter what kind of "signs" he may display as liking you, never think that he does. If you two are really close friends, the chances are that he will act very affectionate towards you.

I'd say that it would be a good idea to find another cute guy to have a crush on. I'm sure that there are plenty :). I know it's not the easiest thing to do. But the best thing about liking a gay guy is that you know it isn't anything personal that he doesn't like you back. I'm sure there are tons of guys who will (and some who already do) like you. You just need to find them. :)

Take care. <3
