Friend flirting a lot; how to be certain he's gay?

[Harry Smith]

hey, today in PE or Gym whatever you call it I was partnered with one of my mates. I've always thought that he was attractive but when we got around to weights he was lying down on the bench allowing me to get a view of his abs. Naturally I got slightly turned on my his abs, later when we were messing around with a football he kept touching my hands.

I dismissed it as my sexually fustrated mind playing tricks but then later in the changing room he looked up right as I was looking at him change and he just winked at me. He was only wearing his boxers at the time. Later when we talking on the way he asked me to keep it ' between me and you.'' I have no idea why he's acting so flirty, he always came off as 100 percent straight.

Basically my problem is that I'm developing a slight fancy for him, and Idk if he continues to act like I may just have to start flirting back

okay laying on the weight bench is just laying on the weight bench. showing abs is what happens when you do that so I wouldn't read too much into that.
BUT.
dude. he kept touching your hands while you were messing with a foot ball? not even a handball :P he winked at you when he's in his undies? he said "let's keep it on the downlow"? and the subject of this post is how to be certain he's gay? if all of that doesn't tell you what you need to know I supposed he could give you a business card that says, "Hello, I'm gay." but I think you have enuf to go on that he is at least bi and interested.

that is definitely a show of interest.

Does he know that you're gay? I feel like him knowing that would be some kind of first step.

Thank you alll. Nah he dosen't know that I'm gay. IDK he haven't really talked about it for the last two days. Its hard to bring up

I think you two need to have a talk. Because he doesn't know your gay, maybe if you have the guts tell him that, and he could probably confess too. Or ask him what's going on and be fully honest. Make sure you say it calmly so he can trust you.
