 It all depends whether he has no clue or a little about your sexuality. If he might know then there are possibilties of attraction but if he has no clue he might still have feelings but more than likey he is just being playfull, slap on the leg, rude comments that sort of thing?? I do it all the time with my guy friends and I'm straight. If you feel comfortable enough then you should tell him that you are gay and see his reaction, if he says "oh!! shock....I already know" then there could be a chance for yee. Whatever you do don't rush things your still very young. Good luck man!!

If others already know that you are gay than chances are that the news has made it to him to, nothing is a secret in high school. Unless you have not made it known to anybody at all. In that case you are just going to have to decide if you are ready to come out and deal with the truth being out in the open. If you are ready and feel strong enough to put yourself out there then you should go ahead and be open about yourself. I highly suggest you admit to him the fact that you are gay before you throw in the fact that you have feelings for him. There is always that chance that he is just being a friend and nothing would be the same if he knew you felt that way. Play it safe so you dont risk ruining an existant friendship.
