... And he's gay. He's been fully out at school for years now and is fairly well liked. Over the past few months I have developed a crush on him. I really want to tell him how I feel, even if he doesn't feel the same way, because I just need to get it off my chest, but there's one problem: he doesn't know I'm gay! I have no idea what to do... Any advice would be greatly appreciated ^^
I don't think that there is really a big risk here.if he's gay, then he is probably wanting someone special in his life, even if he doesn't feel the same right now, there's a chance he'll probably think about it and then come around.
My advice... try to be friends first for a while, and then ask him out. You want to get to know him before you try dating. That way if you fail as a couple (not that you will, but if you did), you have a better chance of remaining friends afterwards.
