Dear Hi ...\n\nAny time any person tells you they like you, it is actually a gift from a person who is courageously risking rejection.\n\nThis is true if it's a guy or a girl.\n\nAsk yourself how you would reply to a girl who said she likes you, but you don't like her that way.\n\nOne way is to thank the person for the love they are expressing to you, and that you are honored by that.\n\nThen allow yourself to actually be honored by that, if only privately to yourself.\n\nA main thing a person expressing love wants .. is that it just be acknowledged.\n\nMaybe that's true for you, too.

Don't look at from a point of view that you found out he is gay that is only going to confuse you more.  Look at the bigger picture he has lied, and has betrayed your trust.  I would at least talk to him some more see if he opens up, and if that fails miserably (which I am sure it will, but at least you tried) dump him.  No one should ever be lied to in a relationship no matter what the sexual prefrance.  When in a committed relationship it should mean that you are committed to that partner, and trust is the standard foundation when that is gone so is the relationship.

Sweetie you have to be who you are...you can't be what people want you to be.. It's a tough lesson..but your friend has to understand that it's not your choice to be gay.  You can't change your sexuality so you will have to learn to accept and like who you are...it's not easy...but the end result can be really great..

Be honest with him. If your friendship is ended just by asking, then it really wasn't worth having in the first place.

I have female friends who are in a similar situation to you. Unfortunately they just shy away from me, which is irritating for me but they aren't willing to compromise anything about it.\n\nThe choices that you have right now is to either shy away from him or put up with it. If you put up with it, you may decide to think of him being 'gay' as a way of reminding yourself he's inaccessible.

You should be there for him! He has been honest to you and you need to support his decision! Thats what friends are for.  Thats so cool actually because id like a guy friend that was gay.  They are so sweet and caring and make the best friend out of everyone.  Accept his decision and carry on with your friendship as normal.

Sounds like you just did come out of the closet. By posting your question, you announced to the whole world that you're gay. :)

Let him do what he wants.. and then.. Run Away!!! Run away as fast as you can and find someone that doesn't have gender issues.

I don't know if there's a good answer for that.  He obviously is "in the closet" and I am certainly sympathetic to that.  But I also imagine how hard it must be to have to deal with that kind of pressure.\n\nThe only thing I can come up with that's pretty pointed but not rude is, "When it happens, I promise you'll be the first to know!"  I hope it helps.  And thanks for being such a good friend to him.

if you fell uncomfortable..and you cant say that to him..then he isnt being just a friend. You should just not hang out with him anymore. If he is a friend then you should be able to set bounderies and such without hurting his feelings. Even if he isnt meaning it in a certain way..its how its coming across to you..and he needs to know that...either way if you cant be open and honest he isnt a good friend.

Telling someone that you're gay can really help a lot, just because you don't have to carry around your secret all by yourself anymore. Probably the best person to tell that you're gay is a female friend, since they will likely have less problems with it than a male friend. If you're gay, chances are that you'll have more girl friends than guy friends. However, pick carefully! Don't tell it to someone that you've had a fight with recently or that you're not totally comfortable with them knowing. Think about whether this person could use the information to get back at you for something. It's your choice and depends on your family, but maybe you want to tell your parents. However, if you think that they'd react badly and still depend on them, give this some thought. Parents can react better or worse than you'd imagine. Another option might be a sister, if you have one. Be very careful before telling people at work or school. And before telling anyone, ask yourself: a) Is this person a religious fanatic who would be violently opposed to gays and set me on fire with kerosene? (If so, not a good choice) b) Would this person use me as their 'gay friend' to go shopping and get fashion advice? (If so, and this might be surprising, also not a good choice. You need a friend that will love you for you, not for your gayness). The people you tell should be people that will just say 'okay' and you can move on with your lives and you can feel better about it.

Feel the situation out.  Do you know how he feels about gay people?  In the right time and place you will be able to tell him you are and how you have felt.  If he is not gay then you can't change him, don't try it won't work and do'nt push it.  Many straight people have gay friends.

You want to ditch your friends because they are gay?? Then that other girl is right, you don't deserve friends like that. They came out to you, which is not an easy thing for anyone to do, and you are thinkin of ditching them??? I hope they ditch you!

r u a dude? is your friend a dude? just see if he does gay things like iggle or compliment a girls outfit and if he gets this offer from a very hot grl and doesnt accept it then man he must be gay. Most of the time ppl just find out on thier own.

I have told friends personal info over the years.  Nothing like "I was rapped as a small boy" type things.  More along the lines of "wow your mom is banging dude!"  They took it pretty well, and after a few days the swelling on my face went down, so everyone was happy :)  Hope that helped you.  But if you are looking into something like "I'm gay" just go ahead and tell them.  What's the worst that can happen?  He won't like you anymore?  Well, if he is a homophobic and you are gay, well them he wasn't a good friend anyway and you are better off without him.  Have I helped yet?  I hope so.
