he pretends not to be gay because he knows there are people like you trying to figure him out for a good bit of gossip. \n\nLeave him alone.

That's the way gays naturally act if they are effeminate. Not all gays are that way. Many are people you would not suspect. They don't do it to draw attention. They do it because that's the way they are.

Does he know about your sexual orientation ?\nHe might like you too but is also not sure if you like him or not ?\nIf he knowes that you are gay, and he does all these signs that make you doubt that he's gay, it could be because he's trying to sense some signals from your part too.\n\ntry to find out about his environment. what do people around him in his community think about gays and lesbians? maybe he is but he's afraid of being rejected for who he is?

People don't "turn" gay.  You either are or you aren't.  It might take you a while to realize it or come to terms with it, but you don't suddenly become gay.

Yes. If you're not sure if someone is gay or not - they're gay. Me, you'd know right away I'm no homo. When you dump him get yourself checked out to make sure he didn't give you some homo disease (like AIDS) and if you're clean give me a call (seems like you're pretty easy and I like that in a chick).

You can't really tell with just a casual conversation.  You have to be around the guy quite a bit -- if you are pretty good friends, sooner or later, his guard will be let down and he will give hints: he'll stare at men, he'll talk about "other lifestyles," he might talk about dating women but rarely if ever actually do so. \n\nI've got some news for you though:  Most bi guys don't let on what their true orientation is to their male friends.  They have a whole other set of guys they hang around with for sexual purposes and the two sets of guys rarely mix.  And many times, they don't even consider their sexual partners (other bi's or more likely gays) friends.\n\nOne of the ways to lose a male friend is to ask him something like that.  The chances are, for one thing, even though he may actually be bi, he'll deny it to save face and to protect his privacy.\n\nIf a man (bi or gay) is looking for sexual activity with another male, you'll know it.

You can't really recognize a homosexual man. People sometimes associate certain types of mannerisms, and speech to homosexuals. But this isn't a reliale test at all. Some homosexuals doesn't exhibit any of the characteristics. Homosexuality is an individual choice of sexual orientation. They prefer to relate sexually to their own sex, and thats all. Homosexuality is not defined by the way a person talks, dresses, or things of this sort.

Do you attracted to people of the same sex?  If so, you are probably gay.

Uhhh...well, if you KNOW they are straight you need to leave it alone since you are attracted to them.  That could be a disaster waiting to happen, especially if you are a guy.\n\nIf you aren't sure, you could just compliment them on something they're wearing or their appearance or something to see how they react.  If they get tense, back off.  \n\nIt's fine to be who you are, but it's easy to offend someone who isn't homosexual by hitting on them.

He tells you he is guy or gay.. whatever he meant... what are you supposed to say? \n\n"I'm gay"... "well good for you!"\n\nIf he just says he's gay... ask him if he has a question about it, or ask him why he's telling you out of nowhere.

maybe when he acts weird on men or to you... he prefers girlish acts, like talking loud and lots of hand gestures while talking to other people, and sometimes you would caught him glued to looking at some man... \n\nbut still, some don't know that the way they act is gayish, or that's really them... no one can be sure if he's gay or it's just the way he is...\n\nif he knows he's gay.. ask him... be kind in asking... and if he says yes, don't get to mad... try to understand.. after all, he is still a human...

Fear and ignorance.\n\nIf a person gets freaked out by the notion that someone around them is gay it's usually because they are afraid that the gay person will see some obvious gay traits that they have and "out" them.  Not only is this an unreasonable expectation to put onto someone, it leads to fear, hysteria, and violence.  \n\nNobody can "make" you gay, and if you are afraid you might have some traits, YOU DO, everybody does, that alone doesn't make you gay (or straight for that matter!)\n\nGender can be graphed on a bell curve, and everyone has a combination of male and female traits.  It's perfectly normal.  I wish the ones who react with fear could get over their irrationality as much as you do!
