Help fix an almost broken friendship

Well here it goes

I have this mate, he's a really good mate and we have been mates for about 9 years, and last year I can out as bi, he was one of the first people I told and he was pretty cool with it, then about 3 months ago I started developing feelings for him, I haven't told him, and lately we've started to drift apart, and I don't want to loose him, what should I do?

ask him if he would go out with a boy and then if he says no, then you can feel the rest of your crush, I'm sorry but I know how you feel.

How bout you just tell him in some sort of way that you have created feelings for him so that he knows, but just doesn't want to interfere the friendship at all! I think it could be going down hill, because you want him to know so badly, but he doesn't know, so then you act a little bit different towards him, making him not wanna talk to you that much. So if he was pretty cool with it, in the first place, then try your best to tell him you like him, but remember to tell him you just want him to know, but not to let this get in your friendship! It will be alrighty buddy!

You can ask him about how he feels about gay relationships but I wouldn't make a move untill you finally know if hes bi or gay or wants to eb in a relationship with you. It's a difficult situation whatever you decide to do best of luck!

there is only one problem...he is completely strait

Man, you just can't keep having these feelings for him if he doesn't like boys! You should just try to save the friendship now, and move on!

It happened to me to fall in love with a boy that I think is gay (I'm still not sure), he was one of my best friends, I'm trying to save the friendship and move on now since it seems that he really can't be with me :/

Well, some friendships dissolve. Some friendships, like some relationships, well relationships in general, just don't go on forever. People change, find new things, dislike old things, things just happen and the thing that made us click can go poof.

It's ok. It happens. Some things just end, no matter how much we wish they didn't. This relationship may be coming to its end.
Of course you can try and save it, it never hurts to reconnect! In fact I suggest you try to do that, then you can at least find some closure and say you tried if it doesn't work.

Now, he's straight, you like him. You know that's not going to work out, and it really sucks. I'm so sorry you've ended up feeling like this. You can try to move on past your feelings, it'll be better for everyone. You just have to put yourself first for now and figure out what you can do, how you're going to do it, and just do what you need to do.
