My straight bestfriend has feelings for me?


Recommended Posts

Don’t ruin the friendship you have. Sometimes as gays, the feelings we have for other guys especially friends could be confusing. It could just be you’re both in a vulnerable position and you might read into what he’s saying although he might not be that serious about it. I’ve been there and confessed my feelings which then started to end a really good friendship. 
 

that being said, if it is meant to happen, it will happen without you overthinking it. however it could just be in your head.

My « straight » best friend of 5 years used to kiss me on the neck, would hug me all the time (and even whispered « i could stay like this forever » one time). 
 

When I confessed to him, he blocked me and told everyone I forced my way onto him…

 

So yeah I wouldn’t say anything until you’re sure there is something :rip:

Omg I hate when they do that. I had that for a whole year… hugs, kisses on the neck, laying in his arms, cuddles, being told “I love you” and when I confessed my feelings he said to me “you will have to wait”…. His mom then read some of our conversations and he stopped speaking to me because he felt as if I made him believe he has feelings for me when he is actually straight.

Men are trash what’s new :giraffe:

My advice is don't look too much into it, he's probably confused. Let things flow as they should, it's not work to risk the friendship for something that may not last.

It's time to reel it in sis. He doesn't want you like that. :skull:

He sounds unstable. :rip:

 

Then again, you know him best so,...

 

Never be someone's exploration try. It won't end well if you value the friendship.

He is an ex therapist now, but yeah that did happen. I was very uncomfortable and mortified.

Keep the friendship as it is. Don't entertain him sexually or romantically because that's when things get awkward.

Don’t do a damn thing. Sounds like you two have a rock solid friendship and if anything were to happen, let him be the one that does it. 
 

True friends are one of life’s best things. Don’t ruin it because your imagination has run wild

Don’t do it. :biblio:

 

Tip for the younger gays: Have some straight guy friends, it’s good to have a balance.

 

BUT DON’T fall for them or create a narrative in your head. It will never work.

:biblio: 

 

a LOT of men are bi-curious & will try to get physical even— but will never commit. Don’t waste your time.

 

date a fellow gay man and save yourself the drama. :heart2:

Just an update y'all. We're still going strong, and recently he's been referring to me as "his love" and uh there's tension between us. We've both been going through a difficult past few months and he's stressed with school. He also says I'm his, but uh I don't know how to classify our relationship. It's not like we don't talk about these things with each other, but I'm scared to make anything official.

The gays have been falling for this mess for MILLENNIA and it ALWAYS ends tragically.

I think you have your answer if you are the one who has to initiate or talk about it to get to that next stage, and he isn't doing anything about it

Manage your expectations. If you're looking for a fwb behind closed doors, then sure have fun, but he's not gonna live happily ever after with you.
