    So let me explain. now that ive realized I'm not straight i see things that i used to do, like commenting on my so called heterosexuality looking at boys until they looked at me. lingering touches and always making gay jokes in an attempt to make myself look straight. yeah i was pretty much the worlds biggest closet case until i met my new bisexual bff chloe and her ragtag band of variations of nonheterosexual friends . i came out to chloe as confused and so on and so forth but back to the guy i like.

    The guy i like i does a lot of the same stuff that i did, but is a best friend of 8 years. i haven't come out to him but really want to. I've noticed it even more so in recent times. hell use gay slang (i.e. calling a chubby hairy gay guy a bear) over express his heterosexuality (ex. pulling up a porn sight and watching) looking at me when he thinks I'm not looking and then looking away when i do look. lasting touches. PLUS THE FACT HE'S NEVER EVEN HAD A GIRLFRIEND OR EVEN KISSED A GIRL! So i was already skeptical but this past weekend that all changed. We talked about our positions on gay marriage ( well more like i explained why it was completely stupid its not allowed everywhere) and him being quiet on the subject. Then we went swimming at nine o clock at night and he eventually said he wanted to try skinny dipping. which i agreed to immediately (the dirty boy i am lol) so we then both removed our shorts and swam around naked. we eventually began to ponder why humans wear clothes (i know this sounds like a bad fan fiction but its not i swear) i also compliment him saying he's sexy and he say I'm sexy too! But he then says No Homo AKA biggest bull faced lie ever! But i say no homo as well (still not out) but. then we have to go inside cuz its eleven thirty at night. so we do then we go on the random chat site ****** which is famous for the amount of male genitalia shown by some of its users. While i freak out (still acting) he just laughs and makes comments on them. The next night it was raining so we couldn't go in the pool but i managed to persuade him to sneak out at midnight and as soon as we were in off came the pants. we then had a conversation about what we want to do in the future. We then sneak back in and we talk until we fall asleep. the next day i leave but he asks me if i still want to go to friendlys for ice cream something we had talked about almost 2 months ago . so now I'm really confused by him. like is it a date or a friend zone thing, is he gay or straight or hell even bi, why. do i just want to :kiss: him. Should i make a move and come out or should i wait a while?

    I wouldn't take the fact that he's never kissed or dated a girl as an indicator that he's necessarily gay, especially if he's only 14 like you. Since you don't know his sexuality or if he's in to you I would play it safe at first. Subtly flirting with him could work, and see how he responds to these advances, or of course you could come out to him and see his response. Other than that just let things lead where they do. If he wants to spend the night at your house and you're all for it, why not just see what happens? Who knows, maybe he's into you as well:icon_wink

    Unfortunately i have three weeks until i go back to my moms house. I'm extremely scared to come out to come out to him because he acts extremely homophobic. ill try subtly flirting with him though.

    Yeah, if he acts homophobic I would be cautious. However, if he's truly homophobic as opposed to suppressing attraction or something, he's not worth being with, friend, romantically, or otherwise.

    He's not homophobic in the true definition of the word. he isn't afraid of gay people, however he uses words such as queer and fag in a nervous way as if he's trying to hide behind hatefulness that is actually just him fearing/hating who he is or who he thinks he has to be. unfortunately i did the same thing when i was still coming to terms with myself. so i dont think of it as homophobia. i think of it as his attempt to hide himself

    Good advice. Tread carefully moving forward. I never kissed a girl until I was like 17, so that's not out of the ordinary.

    Well i failed and didn't fail in a sort. I didn't come out to him. but i did flirt with him. and he reciprocated it. id say stuff about how amazing he was and how great of a cook he is and he'd say thanks and you are pretty good yourself. plus id linger with my touches or lean over him while he's laying down to get something and he didn't care.plus even though i blew up an air matress for him he slept on my bed with me like right next to me. and in the middle of the night he got cold and came under the blanket and he kept rolling over and practically spooning me.plus we talked about how awesome skinny dipping was and about our penises (his isn't circumsized mine is) plus id like lay down and have my head on his shoulder or his arm and one time he put hi arm around my neck.it felt amazing even though he kept calling things gay or looking at "hot" girls on instagram. he eventually began to talk to me about politics and i explained my stance on gay marriage and he completely agreed with me. which rocked. then he found a pic on instagram saying gay rights are human rights and he showed it to me and liked it. then he gave me a hug on the way out. not a crappy one hand hug with a pat on the back. a lingering full body hug with no pats on the back. plus he wore really tight clothes and his chest kept showing cuz his shirt would go up when he was laying down and his shorts really emphasised his butt. I'm thinking next time I'm going to say screw it and come out to him.

    If you're read I'd say go for it! Even if he tells you he's straight or doesn't feel the same way, he sounds like would be okay with the fact that you're bi or gay. (I get the impression he already suspects) However, good luck with whatever you decide!

    As I'm texting him right now whilst subtly flirting and him not noticing or not saying anything i realize he is obe of the few people i truely care about and can't make me feel crappy. but I'm just so scared. how should i do it. like should i just bring it up randomly or should i be all serious about it. I've only come out to one person before and i almost had a panic attack. how should i come out. face to face, skype, texting, a phone call. i just don't know now

    Wow. This is quite the story cx

    But, you shouldn't feel rushed to come out, come out when you feel you are ready. Take your time, you shouldn't be in a rush to leave that closet of yours empty. If you have a crush on this guy, I don't think you should come out and confess that you've had a crush( at the same time) because you might scare him off. After you tell him continue to flirt and be the same around him, let him realize that you are crushing on him. If he doesn't catch on then you can tell him but keep in mind that he will need time to process what he is feeling and how he feels, because you never know he might be questioning his own sexuality. So be patient be slow and most importantly, have patience with HIM

    Good luck :slight_smile:

    I wasn't planning on saying i like him as soon as i came out to him. plus i just came out to my best friends since i was 2 years old. and they were so accepting and caring i almost cried. i don't want to withhold the facts from him any longer. i care about him and myself too much to do it anymore. but i will keep up the flirting and. act as normal as possible. around him. hopefully hell realize that i like him and either reciprocate these feelings or turn me down.

    I can't really tell you "how" you should do it because I don't know you or the guy, but why not just say "There's something I want to tell you..."?

    I mean, just be honest with him and have a friendly talk. He can't be mad at you for being honest, right? Just ask him some questions and if you're still not sure, just ask him if he's gay. Nothing wrong with that. Please tell us what happens!!
