Is a guy friend the same as a gay friend?

no. because with guys and girls being friends the sex part usually gets in the way....think about it.... if i have a guy friend for a long enough time an attraction will usually come between us. but with a gay guy you know that will never happen.

Why do you have to do anything?  What does sexual orientation have to do with friendship.  If you care for this person as a friend, I don't see the problem.  I have gay friends, and it has never come between the friendship we share.  If it's something troublesome to you, talk it over with them, I'm sure they would appreciate your honesty.

Could it be that your guy friends may like you more than a friend?

If you flat out ask him, it could be awkward for both of you. Maybe you should be a little bit stronger in your hints and say something along the lines that, even though you are straight, you wouldn't mind having a gay friend and ask him if he has ever known anyone who is gay. Most gay people have the feeling that it is killing them inside before they come out, so even if he doesn't open up to you right away remain a close friend. If he is gay, your friendship will mean a lot to him.

It doesn't matter if they are male or female, gay or straight...if they are good friends and have been since before he met you, people most often would choose friends over "lovers" if given the ultimatum. After all, who knows them better and who has been there for them. If she is gay then you shoudl have nothing to worry about.

Of course you aren't bad. If he is a friend, then you obviously have things in common to start with. Sometimes the relationship grows from there to a romantic one. It is tough though when the guy doesn't feel the same way. It can ruin the friendship.

They can. I have a guy and girl b/f's. The guy and I have been friend for almost 8 years. He's my friend. And that's all he is. I love him, but not like that.

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.

Yes. I have a male best friend. He is really cool. I have also got several other friends that are male. We are so close that we probably could never date, but even if we could i am not single. It is cool to have a guy best friend. They can give you a point of view sometimes that is way better than a female can. Even though females are good friends too, it is always good to have a male friend on the side to help you when she can't help out with your problems.

I think that boys just like girls can have personal bonds and affectionate friendship.Though they show it in different ways,i like that boys tend to be more physical than girls.well actually i am just saying from my personally experience.\nWhy they are considered gay,well just like girls,boys have this labels about how they should act.Like girls should be more sensitive and guys physical and not emotion and affectionate.So when they show their other side they get stereotyped just girls are when they act like a boy should.

Lol. Hi. I am lesbian, I must look good to guys because a lot of them keep hitting on me. So no, you can not tell, and in the end, it does not matter. If she is a lesbian and you approach her as a friend, she may be perfectly happy to be your friend. I have a lot of straight guy friends. But if you want more than that, she will just be flattered and let you know you are knocking at the wrong door. Either way, it is fine. After all, gay people and straight people are only people. :)

You can have a friendship between a male and a female without it turning romantic.\nI have a lot more male friends than female ones. It just turned out that way because I grew up with 5 brothers and their friends. I feel more comfortable around guys than girls because there were no snide or catty remarks.

I have 2 best friends one is a girl and one is a guy. They are both my best friends. I would do anything for either one of them and they would for me too. Best friends are great. My female friend and I have been friends for over 10 years we were even friends in school but I didn't count that. My male friend and I have been friends for three years. Both of my friends are married too.

You can tell if your friend is gay by asking him.  \n\nIf you are not gay, you may want to mention how his behavior is unpleasant to you.\n\nIf you are gay, and he freaks out when you ask, you can point out that you're not the one who has been making sex comments and running around naked, and perhaps he should think about his actions.

Calling your male friend boyfriend is gay if you are a male, so is friend unless you are defending them. Homey is more appropriate, so is Potna.

I have many friends that are either/or.  They are still good people but have a difference on their sexual outlook.  If they are your friends that is all they have to be nothing more.  I had a male friend who I did not know was gay and when he told me after 5 years of friendship I was only upset because he didn't tell me.  I told him I still loved him the same and we were best friends for many more years after that.  Some people are very mean when it comes to that.
