Do you think my friend is gay?

I think he might be if he grabs at you and stuff. but Idk. .

 

It sounds like he might be gay, although it depends on the tone he was using. Some straight guys joke around a lot with other guys about being gay. One of my friends used to grab his friends butt and all this stuff but neither of them are gay, they're joking.

Do you know his opinion on gay rights and such??

 

Chances are he has same-sex leanings. No harm in coming out to him and basically just communicating what's going on instead of always wondering and assuming things and playing mind games which do more damage than being upfront.

 

Does he know you're gay?

 

Just come out to him if you haven't already and then leave it at that, the ball is in his court then, but I think you're very, very, wrong to assume that he's gay or bisexual. People have a tendency of only seeing the things that they want to see and unless he says otherwise you really should just assume he's straight. Trust me.

 

Throughout high school, my close friends and I had the exact same thing. I'm gay and their not, I'm also still in the closet. During high school, I sometimes thought that my friends and I were actually flirting, even though it was just our over the top goofy sense of humor. It was probably just my mind playing tricks on me. I'd say that if you guys are really close friends you should come out to him. Your already thinking about it so I'm assuming your going to eventually. If your friend isn't gay, the seemingly flirty behavior is probably going to stop. but if he's a true friend he'll support you.

 

I wouldn't count on him being gay. I mean, I hope he is, because this sounds awesome, but it's still true that most people are actually straight. You should still come out to him. It can only strengthen your relationship.

 

I'm practically in the same situation. Closeted Bisexual and my friend drops hints like it's goin' out of style, but then does something to make me think maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part? Your friend could in fact be interested in men, but is not ready to take that first step and is hesitant. You must know that guys love to play gay with their bro's as someone said earlier, so it's also likely that he's in fact Straight and thinks you are too, and sees it as nothing but harmless joking.

I could tell you to come out to him, but then I would be a hypocrite. Should you? Probably. Should I as well? Yes. It's hard being in this position, but one day I hope you figure it all out to the t. Good luck! You'll be in my thoughts

 

join the club!!

I have a friend that is straight as an arrow that does the same things to me. If he's a close enough friend to have such a bromance with, how do you think he'll take you coming out to him? And if you're not sure, you could try floating the topic in a more serious manner or have someone that knows jokingly talk about it and just see how the conversation goes. That way if the conversation is going in a way that's making you more comfortable you'll be able to come out, but you can just blow it off if you don't feel comfortable actually coming out yet.
