If you don't want him to know you are bi, then you have to tell him to stop touching and holding your hand.

[MechaSniper]

he could be bisexual

[Living For Love]

He won't necessarily deduce you're bisexual just because you let him touch your chest and hold your hands. Maybe he just thinks it's a common thing between friends, and he wants you to feel you can trust him.

[nklarke]

Even if you're gay it doesn't mean that you've to allow any guy to touch you, so ask him to stop.

[plebble]

I think he's lying, or just trying to make you uncomfortable

[Snydergate]

I would say he is gay or bi and is too shy to come out yet.

[Bmble_B]

He's probably shy, I'd recommend maybe trying to talk to him and ask him if he's curious about the same gender/or attracted to the same gender, and then take it from there.

[Karkat]

If you feel that it's inappropriate, confront him. If you're uncomfortable, confront him. Otherwise, I'd say you still need to have some communication going on, because clearly it's an issue one way or another.

He won't know you are bi unless you tell him. If you aren't comfortable with him touching you or holding your hand, as others said, just let him know, in a friendly way. Does he act this way with your other friends too?

[ChrisTJ]

If this bothers you you should talk to him about it. I think it's possible he is either gay or bisexual but isn't ready to come out just yet. Though if he is acting innaproriately with you, you need to let him know it's not cool.

Why would you want to confront him?

If you would prefer he did do what he is doing then just tell him that. You don't have to know his sexual orientation to say that and it isn't your job to help him discover who he is or out him if he happens to be gay.

On the other hand if you want to know because you are interested in taking things further then again you don't need to know his orientation for that, just hint that you enjoy what he's doing.
