Straight guys being friends with bisexual guys

[Pulp501]

So my best friend is a really straight guy and I'm bi but I don't think he knows it. I've sort of hinted at it but never straight up told him. I've told him I would give him a blowjob several times and now it's kind of become an inside joke so I'm not sure if he thinks I'm serious or kidding. The problem is that lately I've been having a lot of issues with my depression and I've been feeling bad and I need him and he's been a great friend. We've been getting really close and that has included me hugging him and stuff and I'll just sit close to him (not cuddling just close) sometimes I'll hold his hands too. Its never been romantic at all its just helped me feel safe and okay. I'm afraid if he does know that I'm bi he would be uncomfortable being so close to me and also I'm afraid im going to start developing romantic feelings for him because he's been so great to me when I've needed him.

well..sadly I cannot say how he will react for sure. you never know with people, even if you can make good guesses. hopefully you're good enough friends where he would continue to be your friend even if you told him you were bi. as far as relationships with hi, it is something you will have to realize if he is straight, then you just can't go the romantic direction with him.

Obviously can't vouch for your friend compared to my friends but my friendship group at uni is about 50/50 girls and straight guys and the guys I am closest to I'll hug etc, even compliment them, and they don't mind at all. I even kiss my best friend on the cheek when I'm drunk and he couldn't care less!
