Straight Friend

[Tonebone88]

I'm gay and there's this guy that I really like. We're very good friends and he knows that I'm gay. The only problem is that he's straight and dating someone. On top of being extremely jealous because he spends all of his time with his girlfriend, I feel guilty for hiding something like this from him. How do I tell my friend I like him without freaking him out?

Just tell him. He shouldn't care if he is a good friend.

Honestly, if he is in a relationship, and you're sure he's straight, I am not sure this would be appropriate. I don't know him personally, but how do you think he would react?

[Short Circuit]

Remember a few weeks ago, I posted that I punched my gay friend on the nose for telling me he was jealous of my relationship with a girl? You might get the same reaction from your friend.

I know what I did was wrong, and after a very long talk with my friend, a few hugs, and tears, we eventually remained as friends.

You must ask yourself, why do you like him so much when you know he is straight? Is it the "challenge" of "turning him"? idk, treasure your friendship, dont ruin it.

I am sure he would understand, Just tell him. I sadly can never ask a girl out because I am worried even though I really like her. Don't be like me and go for it!

Exactly what he said. What's the point if you know he is straight?

[Tonebone88]

I know that telling him about it isn't gonna change anything. He'll still be straight. But, I just want to be honest with him.

idk your friend personally but if he likes honesty he wont take it badly and may even ask why

To be honest, you will just have to tell him. If he is straight, sorry to say, you just have to move on. Sorry about your luck, best of wishes!

if he is as good as you say he is, then he will not freak out and just keep calm in the whole situation, and if you tell him, try to tel him in a kind of slow way, let him get used a bit to the idea and dont push it too hard. but still,if he is straight theres not much point in telling him that. i wish you luck mate.
