View Full Version : Do you think my friends are a potential couple?

My group and I are thinking of maybe setting up our 2 friends. I'm trying to get all the opinions I can.

Some basic info. They're both 18 (we just graduated YEEEES). One is admittedly bisexual (let's call him Wes) AND has admitted to being attracted to the other friend and yes the other knows.The other friend (who we'll call Ray) is definitely interested in girls but we think he not only denies having an interest in guys but having feelings for our other friend.

Why do we think this? We have our reasons.

Ray is remarkably comfortable with Wes' sexuality. They used to make A LOT of gay sex jokes and that's not as common but even now, Wes says some pretty upfront and openly gay stuff to him without any care to where they are and who's around and Ray does nothing about it. Wes told Ray through a text that all it would take is his word and he would stop the sexual behavior for good. All Ray said was "it's cool"

For prom, we went to Galveston. We were joking about hand-holding and Ray grabbed Wes' hands on the way back to the hotel and kept it like that until we got back. Also on this night, Wes was freeballing in his shorts and was a little bulgy. We all noticed on several occasions Ray looking towards Wes' area. Later that night, Wes and I were chilling on my bed when Ray got on it with us and pushed us together. Then, he took Wes' hand and put it on my butt as a joke. But even though no one else saw this, when Wes moved his hand he stroked Ray down below. Wes never takes things so far as to make a serious advance on Ray so I assume it was a genuine accident. He said "Sorry" out loud and Ray didn't respond but he did let out a sexy little moan that he failed to stifle.

We often catch them looking into each other's eyes. When Wes complains about his neck or back, Ray willingly massages him without asking. And while Wes is more willing to openly express his feelings for Ray, when asked in private Ray will tell you that there's no one he appreciates and likes more. And usually, Ray would pull away pretty quickly from Wes' hugs (he never denies them though) but recently when they would hug he keeps hugging back until Wes decides to let go.

We've asked Wes about it and he remains "certain" that Ray is not into him or guys at all. We're just not sure. If that is the case, that's one weird friendship IMO.

They could be just two close friends, or they could be secretly a couple without all of you knowing. I think your group should watch them more carefully, and see if there is really something going on between the two, and perhaps help them a little but subtly. I would probably talk to Wes and ask him if he has already tried to start something with Ray, and if he did i'd ask him what happened, because it's no use to try if Ray already told him he doesn't want that kind of relationship with Wes.

Honestly, I'm not really for friends setting up two other friends without their consent. To me it seems rude and invasive. But it also seems to me like they like each other, and if they want to act on it, they do sound like a good couple. If you maybe want to ask them each if they like the other or if they would be interested in being set up by you, I think that's alright. But yeah, I think it's kind of intrusive to do it without their knowledge.

I wouldn't set them up just because it could make things awkward for all of you if it goes the wrong way. If the guy hasn't told you he was gay, AND he hasn't admitted it if he was, he will probably freak out either way. Plus, if he is gay, he may not even have an interest in the other guy and that would be weird too. I'd just leave it alone and let them figure it out for themselves.

After being smooshed into a relationship by a friend, I'll say this: doing it for Wes and Ray could either be a blessing or a curse for anyone involved.

I wouldn't just go hook them up out of the blue, because I can assure you right now that would definitely make things awkward.
Talk to Wes about if he's asked Ray out before or to hook up or something along those lines. If he did attempt and Ray's denied, then you got your answer: don't do it. If Wes hasn't asked Ray out, move on to inquiring Ray.

I'd ask Ray how he genuinely feels about Wes. If you're feeling ballsy enough, you could ask him if (Ray) would ever get down and dirty with Wes if Ray was offered. If he say yes, you've got your answer: it could be worth a try.

I would say bad idea - Thier friendship is not some drama or amusement for you or others.

I dunno. Can be quite nice when ur friends hook you up with others if the girl, or boy, they hook you up with is super nice. My friends hooked me up with my former girl and she was awesome til she broke up with me

I think you shouldn't interfere. If they want to be friends, then let them be friends, if they want to date, then let them date, but "forcing" them to be a couple only because they get along well with each other, it doesn't seem a good idea to me. Just make sure you're there to help in case one of them needs some advice.
