Hey, um, so today I found out my guy friend is "in love" with me. He doesn't know I'm attracted to women but he knows I'm in love with someone else (my best female friend) and that I'm celibate. I've been helping him because he's in love with a girl who hasn't been clear on her feelings for him. I feel sort of like I'm a rebound love. I've told him I'm not interested in a relationship right now because that's true. I'm still recovering from being in love with my best friend. This is the third time a man has wanted to marry me and possibly the fourth time a man has fallen in love with me. I know how much it hurts to be rejected since I was recently so I've been trying to do so kindly. I feel like he still loves this other girl deep down but he keeps saying he wants to marry me. What do I do? I think my plan as of now is just to help him more through this painful event but I fear he will be hurt by me more as a result. I told him just to think of me as a guy friend but it isn't working! Sorry this was sooo long. Any feedback is deeply appreciated!
Tell him you're gay. That's what I would do if I were in a situation where some girl wanted to marry (at 21!?) me.
