Do I tell a friend that am gay?

So I find it hard to make friends at the best of times but managed to make a good friend. We chat at work and text each other outside of work. It feels like a proper friendship.

Now this friend is straight. I don't know if he knows I am gay just isn't bothered or whether he hasn't realised. I'm just wondering whether I should let him know. We arranging for him to come to mine at some point to play video games.

Is worth telling him? Like " I know your not but are you okay with gay people" something like that

 

I drop him off home after work sometimes so I will just ask him then. I mean I could text him but I think that would be a bit weird, out of the blue

Or would texting be good idea

 

I think it would be good of you. A good way to go about it is to just start talking about some guy you think is attractive, or a boyfriend (even if you made it up). Make it seem like, "Oh, you didn't know? Well, yup! Now, back to what I was saying..." Treating it like a small matter will make it seem nonchalant, whereas making it an announcement can elicit more of a dramatic response.
It could go something like,
You: "Oh, speaking of that movie, [actor's name] looked so good in it! Wow!"
Him: "Wait, are you gay?"
You: "Oh, yeah. I thought I had told you before... Anyway, what game do you wanna play? I have [various video games]."

Then again, I don't really know your friend. Thats how I'm imagining it though...

 

I've actually told him

Via text since I don't see him for a while since he don't be back to work for a while and then when he is back... I'll be off

He's fine with it so YAY!!!

 

Thanks
