Why is it hard to tell that person you love him? I'm a gay and he is straight! And of now he never answers my txtmsgs or my chat msgs. But I never tried to tell him that I care for him, because I don't want to risk our friendship and also I'm sacred of rejection from him. Please help me. Thanks

AvgGuy1 agony auntUnfortunately, this is one of those things that you can't really do... if you expect to keep him as a close/best friend. If he doesn't fall into tat category (close/best) then it's really NOT worth telling him either.

As pointed out by CindyCares... It sounds like you, at least, came out to him... and it sounds like he wasn't too comfortable with that. So it sounds like you need to keep your feelings to yourself... Especially if you still want him to be your friend.

CindyCares agony aunt Why do you have to tell him ? He's straight !, what do you expect, that he'd change his sexual orientation just to make you happy ?

Did he ever lead you to believe he might be bi or bi-curious ? Did he ever say or hint that he might feel anything other than friendship for you ?... No ? Then, let him be. I find meaningful that " now he NEVER answers my texts or chat msgs ", I think he is clearly setting boundaries that you are not supposed to cross, and that he signals he does not want to get more up close and personal.

Not everyone is cool with the same-sex thing. He may have figured out that you feel more than friendship and can't deal with it. You'll know better than us where he stands on that.
