Straight People

[Virginiakid]

Being straight, how would you feel if one of your friend (of the same gender) really liked you? Would you remain their friend or push them away or would it just be really awkward for you?

[CharlieHorse]

i'm cool with that

[Luminous]

Well, I'm gay, but if there was a straight guy friend that liked me I wouldn't push him away. As someone who has only acquaintances and no close friends, I'll let you know that friends are extremely hard to come by and some feelings that will likely pass in some time should not change that. Friends stick together through everything, right?

If one of my female friends developed a crush on me I'd view it in much the same way as one of my guy friends who I have no feelings for at all developing a crush. It would probably be a little awkward for both of us but I'd try and work through it. No point ruining a good friendship over a few feelings unless the feelings just completely get in the way.

This explains it well as i feel. It would be very awkward but work through it.

I certainly wouldn't push someone away because of their feelings. Sometimes you just can't help it, you have feelings even though you don't want to. It might be a bit awkward for us both, but if our friendship was that strong we'd both get through it just fine.

[Lovelife090994]

For me it would be awkward since normally I am crushing on guys and girls. I have been politely turned down but it is a let-down sometimes.

[NeuroTiger]

I'll keep our friendship but please, I don't swing this way.
So, let's respect each other! ;)

[Gamma Male]

My straight female friend admitted to me that she has kind of a crush on me, and I'm fine with it. She keeps asking me how I don't know I'm bi which is kinda annoying, but it doesn't really change anything.

[Abyssal Echo]

I'm cool with that

[PinkFloyd]

I would definitely not push them away. They can't help how they feel.

[Melodic]

It'd be the same as if it was a guy who I didn't have feelings for, I wouldn't be weird or anything, I'd probably be flattered honestly.

[Meganium]

That is nowhere near legitimate reason to push a friend away. I don't care if they're madly in love with me, I'll tell him I'm not interested and if we're cool enough, we'll move past it as time goes on.

[Something Creative]

I wouldn't. I think it would be the same as if a guy had feelings for me. If I was interested in the girl who liked me, I would be okay with that. If I wasn't...I'd still be okay with it, but I'd let her know that I don't feel the same way so she doesn't get her hopes up for nothing.

[tyrfr]

remain friends

[DiamondsGirl]

Doesn't need to be a person of the same gender to make everything turn awkward... it's always awkward when a close friend you have no feeling for suddenly developed a huge crush on you. I have yet to find a spot-on, diplomatic solution to this but so far what I do is just pretend I don't know what that other person feels towards me and carry on being friends.

[Plane And Simple]

I'd be perfectly cool with that. And rather than letting him be with that, I'd try to spend time with him just as a friend.

[steellord321]

I'm gay but someone that does this isn't gonna just come here to admit it so i gotta speak for em if you want a real sample.

I had a close hetero friend since like 2nd grade i did everything with. Karate lessons, summer camp, school of course. Well i grew to crush on him hard which he figured out. In 9th grade he and some others threw rocks at me near the parking lot. There was some other slander and bullying and i transfered schools. Don't expect i'll see or speak to him again.

Be careful, there's nothing to gain hitting on them if they're str8

[JamesSuperBoy]

I would be fine with that

[Walter]

I would be fine with it but I would make sure they know I don't feel for them the same way they feel about me so they don't get obsessed or think there is a sliver of hope and stay friends with them.

[Elvalight]

It depends on what "like" means. If you mean romantically, I'd probably be flattered( if not extremely confused about the fact that someone actually found me attractive in any way lol) and think it was sweet. If you mean sexually, eh, I'd find it a little awkward, but I'd understand the fact that just because someone is attracted to me in any way, that doesn't mean they will do something I don't feel comfortable with. So yeah, I'd stay their friend.

[Body odah Man]

I hope I'd remain their friend. You can't tell until you've experienced it though, sadly

[mychalo]

I really don't think it would make any difference to me.

I'm bi but I never liked guys it seems without a reason.

Anyhow I would likely not care. I'd have no interest in him other than friends either way.
