I'm in love with my straight best friend

[gig-guy]

My friend and I (both males, 17) have known each other for some years now and I've grown close to him. However recently I've noticed that I'm thinking of him differently, like emotionally and sexually. I think I've fallen in love with him. I think I'm bi and he thinks I'm curious, bit he's straight. He's all I think about. I want to do everything from cuddle him to blow him. Doesn't anyone have any advice? What should I do?
Thanks in advance for replies.

You can't make your best friend turn gay. It's just impossible. Don't do anything stupid that could ruin your friendship. You have a little crush on him, but that doesn't mean you can't be friends with him. If you think he's aware of the fact that you're bisexual, he might be able to tell you have some feelings for him. Try not to make it obvious that you like him. It's great that you acknowledge the fact that he is straight and you want to do something about it. It shows that you actually care about your friendship. It might be difficult to get over the crush, but you can still be friends with him in the process.

I don't know about "fallen in love with"- maybe developed a serious crush on, but I'd say you're definitely sexually attracted to him.

Honestly, the way I see it, you have two options:

-Try to get over him, move on, etc.

-Tell him, and see what happens. Maybe not directly- maybe you could tell him you think you're bisexual, ask him if he feels the same way/how he feels for shits n giggles (when really it is a covert mission to see if he'd be into you! Hah!) See what happens. But honestly, if you expect anything to come of it, if you expect a chance with him, you have to talk to him :P

Good luck :)

Make sure if he's not bi or something and in denial. Slight chance but then you could have some hope at least. But apart from that don't do anything stupid which could endanger your friendship like confessing your crush to him.

Obviously it's due to hormonal pressure...it will go. Just keep calm and enjoy life with him. There are so many ways to enjoy life with people without being sexual.
Believe me, your friendship is much more precious than the sexual stuffs you wish to try with him.

If he's straight, I suggest not ruining the friendship. And maybe you're not even in love, maybe it's just a thing that'll pass just as suddenly and silently as it appeared.

Thanks everyone! Maybe you're right, I would never want to screw up our friendship
