My friend pretends to be gay

[Faolan]

Whenever I'm with my friend, he always acts really "gay". Not like high voice and stuff, but he looks at me in a flirty way and just smiles really obnoxiously. It bugs me, because I know that he's 100% straight, but I can't tell if he's actually teasing me or not. I'm bi/gay, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't know that, since I've only come out to two people (unless he stalks me on Facebook). Should I tell him to stop and try to come out to him? I'm not sure if he would take it the best.

Uhhh...that's a new one to me. If he's acting that way he's probly safe to come out to. Maybe he's trying to get u to. Some people are just clingy though.

I think that he is gay and trying to come out to you without being straight forward about it. It's like great white sharks --- They are a whole lot more scared of you than you are of them.

Its possible i guess. And hahaha thats a great analogy.

Maybe he's gay and is trying to hint at it in a funny way. Some times that makes it less awkward if its not serious. Funny story: i came out to my friend that i liked girls through a text and texted it in some weird way. It was like, "Ser er thernk er lerk gerls", something like that. I did it like that because i thought being funny would be less awkward because it wasn't straight forward, for some reason, lol and it was less awkward! Maybe you should come out to him and see if he comes out too. If he doesn't come out and is straight, at least you came out to him and hopefully he accepts it. Hope this helped:)

My brother used to pretend to be Wolverine, I wouldn't swear it
He thinks your a hero for standing out that's all

I guess he's trying to come out to you, without saying the words.

He's not gay, unless he's closeted, but he seems a bit homophobic. I think he acts this way as a joke, and it's a really fake flirtatious manner. He's had a few girlfriends too that he sincerely loved.

It's possible he's not joking. I mean, you can't tell how he really feels, can you?

But it's also possible that he's just messing around. If it bothers you, ask him to stop. Only come out if you're comfortable coming out to him.

sounds to me like others have already said that he is trying to hint to you something
obviously he trusts you and feels safe around you and hopes you make it easier for him by asking him that way he can tell you yes or no
idk maybe ask him about it and see what he says :)

I would be careful with that he could be doing that to you so he could make fun of you when he finds out

I wouldn't necessarily call him "gay". I joke around with my guy friends a lot like this, especially during lax practice. We all do it to each other. Today I went up to my friend and stroked his head. The other day he was dressed up in a suit and I asked him why he was dressed and he goes "just for you, Alec". We just jokingly do stuff like this too each other, sometimes seeking a reaction, other times just for the lols.

If you are close enough friends, come out, but don't do it expecting a confession from him as well.
