So I was just texting my friend and he sent me a video that's been going around Facebook if gay was straight and straight was gay. He doesn't know I'm gay and after I said I saw the video already he asked who I would date if the world was that way. I told him that probably no one because I don't know why that world would make me more active in dating and he said he would date me and crush on a teacher. I've heard him talk about that teacher before getting all excited. Do you guys think he's trying to come out to me?

Hmmm an interesting situation indeed. Perhaps you should pull him aside one day and have a heart to heart with him about how you feel about your own sexuality to see if that spurs him to confide in you. I do think he is trying to tell you something on the low though. Let me know how things turn out :)

I think he is trying to tell you something. You could try slipping into a conversation that he could tell you anything, and how if he will always be your friend. You may want to come out to him if you want to/trust him enough. And what do you mean, getting all excited? Is the teacher a dude? I probably would think so. A little more background information would help me provide a better answer, but I hope this helps!

Firstly, make your friend aware of the fact that you will love him unconditionally. If he doesn't realize this, you need to make it clearer (while at the same time being subtle enough to avoid arousing suspicion). After doing this, remain open-minded and wait it out - he could just be "curious", but based on what you've told us I can't reach any compelling conclusion. You will know in time. :)

Take it easy.

He might be sending you signals, not necessarly because he has a crush on you but he might be looking for sanctuary and he thinks telling you is safer than telling anyone else. I think if he makes a comment like that again you should ask him if he is gay (privately of course) and its up to you whether you come out to him at that moment or not.
