Best Friend, need an opinion guys.

[Iamme.]

Hi, my name is Tyler, some call me Ty.

I am a straight 15 year male, going into the 10th grade. Brown hair, blue eyes, 5'6", athletic build. I'll try and post a picture but I really don't think it matters.

Anyways, I have a few questions. I have a best friend of mine that I absolutely love hanging out with no joke. I met him at the beginning of this year and he quickly became one of my bestfriends. I love hanging out with him so much, he's like the brother I have never had! I mean I actually love him (Not in a gay way), but in a really strong brotherly way. I mean I think of him a lot.

Now my questions are:

1) He is my Bestest friend in the whole wide world. Do you think that I could call him that? Or even a best friend? I mean I've only known him for like 9 months, but our friendship has grown so much and we hang out so much and share so many things that I would think so. Earlier in the year he said that I am one of he like greatest friends, but I'm not technically a best friend because I've only known him for a year. Will I be one of his bestfriends after a year?

2) The way I feel for him and think about him, is that normal? I feel greatly for him like a brother and think about him a lot, but is that normal?

3) When we go to sleep, he sometimes comes up close to me and falls asleep on me and I don't mind. Is that normal? I mean we are both straight but he does that every now and then.

Whatever rocks your boat between what you two do is your business. It's not necessarily normal for him to sleep on you, but that's your thing. If you're wondering if it makes you gay, only if you think it does.

It's not odd to make a best friend in the span of a few months. At your age, you're figuring out who you are, and friend changes come with that. Sometimes you'll become best friends with someone in a matter of weeks, sometimes it takes years. But it's different for everyone.

Oh okay, thank you. I don't think that him laying on me is gay anyway, I was just wondering. Now, what about question #2?

[Greg1994]

2 is absolutely normal. I thought of my best friend as a brother and I assume he did the same.

About question 2: I have a best friend I've been extremely close to for going on 5 years. He's straight but knows I am kind of gay/confused. He really didn't give a shit but he's helping me find myself. I really do love him, a lot, not in a sexual context. Like how you feel towards your friend. If things happen to him, I fret and worry a lot just as you would. I cannot imagine life without him. I know exactly what you mean. Message me for more questions.

Thank you guys, this clears things up for me now!

it is normal my best friend tells me i am his best friend in the whole world all the time i think of him a lot too i care about him more than anything in the world q3 i am not sure about if you dont mind then i guess its ok message me if you need more advice

[Iamme.]

Thank you all for the advice!

(1) It's probably not a good idea to call him your "bestest" friend, at least not to his face. Because it sounds kinda dorky and childish. As to the timetable, it's anyone's guess. It took Justin and I a few years to form the bond that we have now.

(2) It's totally normal. Sounds like you have a strong emotional thing going and you enjoy your "guy time" together.

(3) As long as he's not grinding on you, then I guess it's okay.

Okay thanks.

And let me make #3 more clear. He isn't like fully body laying on me, just his head like on my chest or shoulder or something like that. Lol.
