questions for straight and gay guys

[joshM1996]

I'm bisexual, and I like this guy but he's straight, I know I'm never going to date him but should I tell him I like him? (He knows I'm bi and is fine with it) and straight guys, if your gay friend said he liked you how would you react?

[Yonkers]

Well, you could ask him how he'd feel if a bi/gay guy liked him? Maybe he's bi you never know. And if a gay guy liked me, I'd just tell him that I'm not into guys.

I told him. He said it would be better if we stayed friends. Haven't talked to him much since. </3

I've had this happen to me 3 times so far (I'm straight btw) and honestly it just gets awkward once the guy tells me. We eventually grow apart cause it just makes me feel less open around him and kind of uncomfortable knowing he likes me.

If that happened and a gay/bi friend told me they liked me I wouldn't like shy away from them I'd just tell them that I'm straight and I kinda take it as a compliment

[joshM1996]

Should I tell him I like him then?

If I had a friend who happened to be gay and told me he liked me? Although it is stupid, but to me, it would just be like very awkward. It would just be a little off. Although, in the end the decision is up to you.

hmmm, you should do what you think is the best for you, if you really wanna tell him how you feel , you should take the risk ^^

To be honest, I wouldn't. This is going to sound harsh ---and I don't want it to be--- however some people would feel kinda weirded out by someone who is of the same sex liking them and it really isn't worth creating possibly awkwardness or issues between you and him if you don't half too. I mean you say there is no chance of a relationship, so why tell him? Are you wanting a reaction? Anything?

It just doesn't seem necessary to tell him.

I was thinking the same thing too, but a couple of my friends asked me if he knew, then I started wonder if he should know.

Btw, I didn't take it harshly, I was thinking the same thing, I just wanted others opinions

No, I wouldn't. Honestly, what would be the point? What would you gain from telling him? If he is straight and you know you will never date him, then nothing will come of it. I think it's best to just keep the feelings to yourself. If you thought there was a possibility that something could happen, like him being bi or something, then yes, I would say tell him. But if he is straight and you know it won't happen, then no. You won't be gaining anything, aside from maybe some awkwardness.

As harsh as this might sound, it does weird some people out. I know a lot of people don't mind their friends being gay or bi, but it's different when they have feelings for you. They may not mind you feeling that way towards other people, but it just turns things very awkward when you know one person has feelings for you and most likely wants more from you but you don't want that from them.

So I would say keep it to yourself.
