awkward...

[Silicate Wielder]

theres this new kid at my school, its obvious he's gay. I always notice that he's always checking me out though the corner my eye. are there any ways to keep it from getting any more awkward? Btw, im straight.

You could talk to him, or plain ignore it. You can't help who he likes, but it could be worse :P

Well, if it gets too uncomfortable for you, just explain that you aren't interested in him.

I see two options:

- Ignore it and hope he finds a new crush.
- Befriend him.

I'll point out you've apparently already tried the first one...

You should take it as a compliment and not necessarily assume he's gay. Straight guys check out other guys too.

Get to know the guy. He's new, so he's probably scoping out the attractive people and looking for friends.

I say just ignore it if you show no intrest back at him he will move on

[Electra Heart]

Well, there's absolutely NO proof that he really was checking you out so... If he DOES make some moves or something, tell him no.

I'd say you should try to just forget about it for now. That way you won't hurt his feelings. If things get really bad, you could just talk to him. Say very nicely that even though he seems like a nice guy, you're straight and not interested. Be delicate.

u should be flattered. there should be absolutely no difference between a guy checking you and and a girl u arent interested in checking you out. just be flattered and dont worry about it

Talk to him ! If you're straight and he's gay let him no u r straight and let him down gently.

[Voleurz]

Honestly just ignore it. You check out girls out of the corner of your eye, and to him it's the same thing. Just leave him be and take it as a compliment.

just ignore it

[muddygrand]

Talk to him, get to know him. You may be strait and he may be gay, but that doesn't mean that y'all cant be good friends. If he is new he more then likely feels like an outsider, and a friend would help him out greatly. And, since you know him, he may be a good guy to experiment him. I am strait and I experiment.

Try to ignore it. As long as your friends know you don't like him back it will be fine :)
If it gets worse just confront him when your both alone, and say Im not gay, but can you please stop doing __________. But no one can help who they like. It's only looking at you, it's not like he's stalking you or making moves on you. So ignore it but if it gets worse then confront him.
