How do I take this?

[Lee360TheCoder]

Ok, this is how it goes. I have a friend that I've known for about 1.5 years, great guy, really funny, just a great person to hang out with. Well, about 4 months ago I told him I liked him. He didn't respond negative or positive, (I'm guessing it was because he didn't want to hurt my feelings or something.) he said "I just find it weird." and I apologized. Then he just didn't talk to me all to much, then he just started to not respond altogether. Well, about 5 days ago we started hanging out again. Playing GTA, Minecraft and stuff. I just wanted to know how to suppress my feelings, because I feel like since I'm gay it's impossible to hang out with guys unless there's a age difference. But I seem more like a straight guy. So, any help on this? Also, this is over Xbox LIVE don't know if that changes anything but... yea.

First of all, I want to say that your website and your youtube channel are really cool. :D

Second of all, you aren't the only one. Trust me. I know it's hard to be rejected like that. Maybe he just isn't gay and wants to be friends. That might be hard to get over that fact but you might have to. I suggest just ask him if he wants to play xbox with you a lot and just be chill around him.

Hope I could help you. :)

Thank you so much! :3 Well, I know he's not gay but feelings are feelings and you can't stop them. (Unfortunately) I guess I'll with the flow.

Maybe he is just unsure as to how to respond - or even deal with emotion etc.

I'm sure he knows how to deal with emotions, maybe just not this "advanced".

This guy may be great, funny, nice etc but try not to hang out with him a lot. Sure do play GTA and stuff with him but not on every chance you get. Since you have had feelings for him they may easily become stronger if given time and attention both of which would be possible while you would be together for hours playing. So try to maintain a bit of a distance and make your mind accept the fact that he cannot fall for you under any circumstances for if you do fall in love with him it would cause you pain and if you tell him it would mean an awkward and painful end to your friendship.

Perhaps he just doesn't know how to respond, but its good news he's interacting with you again, perhaps soon he'll be ready to gang out properly again.
Just keep your feelings on the down low for now, don't want to freak him out again.

Thanks, I guess I'll just maintain a healthy time between me and him.

Wait you do know him in person right..?

[Lee360TheCoder]

Well, I've connected with him on a lot of different levels (Video, chat, audio). I like to think I know him in person.

[Hudor]

so you haven't met him physically?

Technically, no. But, it wouldn't make anything different.

No actually i was assuming you had met him outside Xbox live as well nevertheless my advice would remain to maintain some distance.
