It's possible that you're gay, yes. If you've only been attracted sexually and emotionally to other boys, then you probably are gay. At your age, your sexuality is really fluid, so you may end up changing at any point. You may end up being attracted to girls later, or even both!
What's most important right now is that you realize that being gay is COMPLETELY OKAY, no matter what anyone says. God loves you and made you PERFECT just the way you are, and no matter what sexuality you are, you are -exactly- the way He intended you be!

Many people go through a questioning or experimental stage. It's perfectly normal. You could be gay, as about 10% of the population is, but this particular incident does not necessarily mean that you are. You could also be bisexual. I'm bisexual, and started feeling attracted to girls in middle school, but I didn't really accept or acknowledge it until I was 18 or so.
There is nothing wrong with experimenting and exploring your sexuality. If you and your friend really dig each other, then go for it! If you're not sure if he's into it, try some light flirting (maybe wrestling or tickling or something?). Or maybe ask him about his opinions on gay rights or alternative sexualities.
You also have to consider that dating or having sexual relations with a friend could ultimately result in loss of that friendship, in a straight or homosexual sense. It's always a bit of a risk, but you only live once and you'll never know until you try!
Much love and Best wishes

I went through something like that when I was 14/15 where I thought I liked girls. But I've come to the conclusion that I'm pretty straight. Sometimes I find that depending on the type of porn you like, you know. The reason I say I'm "pretty straight" is because I also enjoy female on female stuff. However you could either be going through a phase, or maybe you actually do like guys!
Have you ever been attracted to a female? And is your Aaron friend, gay?
Feel free to experiment! You're still young, and you'll only find out once you get out there and try things out! (But be smart about it).
