my cousin. gay?

honestly, id give it until he hits puberty before you even try and figure this out

 

All sounds like tipical 10yo behaviour to me!

 

He still might be gay. But none of what you posted would 'scream' gay to me.

 

Thats not really a gay specific thing tho, straight guys do it because they like the feel of it.

If he was doing it regularly, maybe, but a once off thing? He probably just wanted attention (and going by this thread, he got it )

 

1) Children dress up in all sorts. In fact we have a video recording somewhere of my oldest brother walking around in my grandmother's clothes saying he's "Like a laden". He's straight, apparently.

2) Well I don't think of game designer as a feminine job at all. As for the copying bit - you can't copy sexuality. It's there from birth.

3) Brothers often find cruelty in embarrassing the other brother in order to get a superiority trip. He must have found the way of embarrassment to be through doing this.

4) Maybe he wants to be your friend, or maybe he is actually cute and innocent.

He might be gay, chances are that he's not though. I'm sure it will become clearer as time goes on, and until time goes on, don't worry about it.

 

Hey Seanr there's no such thing here as wasted space you had a question and wanted to talk we listened , thats what ec is all about , dont ever be afraid to post or wall people . take care now

 

No such thing as wasted space, don't worry! But yeah, he just seems like a typical kid to me, most of the guys I know would wear dresses once in a while while playing when they were kids. If he does turn out to be gay, it'll most likely be a few years before his sexuality really kicks in.

 

yeah your question is totally fine. but i think he's a bit young for it to be evident at this point.

 

At that age, it's not that important. If he's older and you still suspect, you could always ask him. That way if he really is gay he'll have someone to talk to. But I think most young children aren't aware of their sexuality, so as long as he's happy right now it should be fine.

still, I can understand the curiosity. I suspected my cousin to be gay as well. She's shown all the signs. She hates wearing dresses, make up, shopping and has this crush on Lara Croft. She's just a major tomboy. :lol: She's 15 now and recently, she had a boyfriend. Everyone in the family was shocked and we all laughed about it. She even started to dress nice and do her hair. If that in itsself wasn't shocking enough, turned out she was rather gorgeous. So it just goes to show that things aren't always what they seem.

I'm sure there are lots of boys who at one point wanted to dress like a girl, just out of curiosity. Just as there are girls who hate to dress like a princess and just wanna play in the mudd all day.

 

i figured it in year7. ive only just started coming out. if i had been asked before id have denied it. do NOT pressure or make it seem like pressure about ANYTHING

im in year 9 now. most people dont start coming out till quite a bit older than me. so ask him in year 9 and possibly if he says no or i dont know or something maybe ask him in a few years when hes more mature

 

yea, id wait till puberty. 13-14 yo would b a better time to start analyzing. but even at that, he may go through the "i dont know what i am" phase but its not really anything to waste your time on. if he is, he is. if he isnt, he isnt.

 

If he is 6-8...perhaps you should wait later. ^^; You'll confuse him more than he already is. And until they hit the magical age of puberty, you might end up causing irreparable damage.
