So as the title suggests, one of my friends came out to me as bi. We were at a party at a different friends house and I was drunk and when everyone else left the room he told me he's done a lot of thinking about it and that he's bi. I told him that he can talk about it to me if he wants and I told him I've been through the same thing. I haven't really talked to him since. Now I have developed a crush on him, not based on physical appearance but based on that I think it could work out between us. I'm starting to feel pretty depressed because of this for some reason. Since I was the first person he came out to, I don't know if he'd be ready for a gay relationship. Or he wouldn't want one because other people don't know his orientation. I want to ask him out but I don't know how to go about this since he's still in the closet while I'm out to everybody.
Maybe he is. Maybe he's not. Only one way to find out. But you don't have to drop the R word. Hang out one on one see where it goes. If sparks fly great. If they don't you are still friends and at least you tried.
