Hi,

Be glad to at least know that he is gay. I don't want to be harsh, but based on that information you should try and accept the fact that you'll never be more than a good friend for him. So please, please, please, don't complicate your life by asking him to be your boyfriend. You would only achieve one thing that you're in fact already aware of: ruin your friendship. Good luck!

jinxx agony auntYou don't tell him. If he's gay, he will never feel the same way towards you and a relationship will just never happen.

I'd suggest trying to move past your feelings and just continue with your friendship. It's clear you care about him, but don't blur the boundaries.

MissTellAll agony auntIf I had a nickel for every time I saw a girl who had feelings for a gay man...

All right, I'm going to be blunt here but please don't just tune me out.

He identifies as gay. He likes men. Why make him feel guilty for not reciprocating his feelings for you because he's gay?

Let's put it this way, assuming you're completely straight, what if your female friend confessed that she had feelings for you? You would probably feel flattered, but awkward at the same time. I know you have feelings and maybe think he could feel the same way, but the chances are he does not and the best course of action would be to just let those feelings fizzle out on their own. You're 13-15, there will be plenty of guys who are straight who you'll like :)

Hope this helped!

Why would you bother? It says that you’re a female, and he’s gay! So he isn’t going to feel the same, so you’d be wasting your time. Instead of telling him that you have feelings for him which if you’re sure he’s gay won’t be reciprocated, , tell him how much his friendship means to you and how special he is to you.

I wish you all the very best.
