First off, I just wanted to say I admire you. I can only imagine how complicated it must be to try to come out, especially as a teenager, and I've never experienced this.. but I respect how strong you must have to be. :)
Has anyone ever mentioned anything about him probably or possibly being gay? Does he have a more of a feminine side than most guys? Now, I'm not trying to be offensive, I'm just trying to determine some factors that may make someone gay, according to some one of my close friends has anyway :) If he is gay, he's probably just as nervous as you are to come out to you and has no idea what to say. I don't think you should come directly out right away and confess your feelings until you have a better guessing of his sexuality. I think you should try something like.. "I wish I looked like -some celebrity-. He's hot" or something along those lines, and see his reaction. Try making little subtle hints about being gay, and if he is gay as well he'll probably catch on. Or, you could even just ask him flat out, but only if you don't think it will offend him if he's straight. Either way, he's either a good friend, or someone who likes you and has the potential to be more. When you confide in him your sexuality, he should accept it either way. I think you should try flirting with him and dropping hints here and there and see how that goes before you completely confess how you feel, only because it might be a little awkward for him at first if you say you like him and he's straight.(Ps: If he's straight, he's missing out on a great guy ;]) Sorry if this wasn't much help, but I really tried!! :] Good luck, I wish you the best! I'm here whenever if you want to ask anything else. Keep me posted if you wish, I always wonder how everyone turns out. hahaha. Have a great day, and I apologize for replying so late. This has been a crazyyy hectic week for me. [ mwall94's advice column | Ask mwall94 A Question ]
