Question, how should I tell my friend and major crush that I am gay? If you look at my thread history, you will see my previous post about this guy. I have come to the conclusion that he is not gay/bi. I am fine with that. However, he wants to be friends, and I do not know if he knows that im gay. What is my reason for telling him?

1. Im stressing out over him a LOT because he is doing straight guy things like hugging and joking about sexuality, and touching, and compairing, ass grabbing, ect. That I see as a glimmer of hope only to have my hopes crushed when I give myself a reality check. To give you an idea of the effects: Ive been going to bed at 7 and waking up at 6, thats almost 11 hours! I used to sleep only about like 7-8! Also I have been finding WHITE hairs, not grey or translucent but WHITE. Thats not healthy for a highschooler!!!!
2. I dont want to take advantage of him! I have been using his straightboy antics as a way to let off sexual steam, and its wrong!! Giving him a backrub because he just worked out and wants one, is fine. But getting sexual pleasure out of it without him knowing and consenting is wrong in my mind. I dont want him to not let me get off on him xD But I dont want him to be ignorant when I am doing so.
3. Im still unsure if he is LGBT, or at least curious. I hope so but I doubt it. Only one way to know!!

So, how do I come out to him gentley, but directly? Hints dont work, Ive tried SO MANY TIMES xS

Right now my plan is to talk to him in private IRL after school with my friend who knows im gay, to make sure I dont backout and keep talking if I cant.

Any suggestion?

Do it while your NOT doing anything like a backrub or comparing bc he might freak out so just tell him though when your like watching a movie or something :)

I said I was in highschool. That would imply that I am 14-18.

Just do what i did! Granted he is my cousin but i seriously thought he was the biggest Homophobe ever! I just came out and told him and he was actually completely okay with it ! He was happy for me even:-) The truth always sets you free i promise even if it goes good or bad at least you were truthful and acted the right way

Im going to tell him this or next week. Im bringing over my "Fag hag" Persay, shes going to be there to back me up if it doesn't go good. Im worried as hell. Im scared he is going to be uncomfortable around me, especially if we are alone or at his house....

Ugh, why can't I just be straights?!!?

If he's anything less than indifferent then there is nothing you can do. Some people are just naturally homophobes, there's nothing you can do for them and they aren't likely to change their ways. If he reacts badly then just try to the best of your ability to remove him for your life and move on.
