curious about feelings

[hhhhssssuuuuhhhh]

i'm 13 and just finished 8th grade so i'm going into high school. play football, basketball wrestling and lacrosse, our town is divided into two middle schools and one high school. our lacrosse team was mixed with the other school this year and i met this kid who instantly became my best friend there.
we're both smart, good at sports and pretty popular so we have a lot in common.
at first i just thought he was cool but i became very attracted to him and he always seems to hang around and talk to me, how and should i bring this up if i want to tell him? we are both very close but i don't know how he feels about being even closer, i feel like asking about experimentation but our school looks down upon guys being intimate with guys, even all my closest friends feel uncomfortable about it. i'd be risking a lot f he doesn't feel this way but i'm almost certain he does.

should i ask him how he feels and if he wants to get closer/experiment?

Really, the only one who can totally answer this question is you. There is quite a bit to risk with you asking him. Chances are that it would only make things awkward between you, but if he really doesn't like the whole idea, then your friendship could possibly be at stake. So it is a big decision.

I'd try to really find out what his views on the whole idea are before making any sort of move. Try to bring up gay rights or something into the conversation, and see how he reacts to it. That gives you a good lead.

Good luck!

experimentation is just common at our school but its really just lesbians or guys+girl getting handjobs or blowjobs, i dont get why they're fine with lesbians other than it being 'hot'

remember, it can ruin your friendship!

Experimenting is normal but get to know him better and spend a lot of time with him to make sure he is the one and it might just happen and it could seriously damage your bond together. be careful!

and I would suggest not telling anyone just yet.

I´ve been in this situation before. Twice actually. For me and whoever else expieriments with me, I always keep my mouth shut and make sure everything stays between us. Like at your school, mine is filled with people who look down on gays and bisexuals. The way i´ve done this is, just ask your friend if he is bi or gay in a calm manner. But be VERYcareful about all this. If he says yes then just tell him how you feel and things should go pretty good from there. I don´t know how you feel about going public with this at your school, that´s your choice. But in my opinion, if your not ready to come out with this, make sure it stays between you two. Goodluck my friend:)
