The thing is, the first time we really became best friends was when we went camping with a group of friends and me and him were in a tent together. I was in my sleeping bag next to him and we were talking and messing around as friends and then he randomly started touching my lips and feeling my face really gently which made me feel comfortable but also confused. Ever since then we always do stuff together and he still likes to feel my face and lips and I don't know if this means he's gay/bi or not :-/. Also I had a few sleepovers with him and whenever we went to sleep he wanted me to put my arm around him so I did. Whenever I talk to him about sexuality he always says he's straight and he can't imagine himself as gay, but it's just really confusing considering the things he does with me. He also said he "loves" me as a friend and I said the same to him but I'm just really confused.Please help! Is he gay/bi or curious or something? It's really confusing me!

i think he kinda afraid to come out and all that, but if he does that he is probably bi,or just trying new stuff. good luck

I'll bet he's at least bi. If not totally gay. As pointed out previously. Coming to grips with it, can be extremely frightening. Don't push him. Take it all slowly.
Sounds like you both have a very NICE relationship which could lead to something a little more 'expressive' physically. You keep having those 'sleep overs' and I'll bet SOMETHING will happen eventually. When he asks you to hold him, you should casually caress him. Touch HIS face back. Touch his arms, chest etc. Just go with what feels right... but don't rush it.

by the sounds of it he is at least bi-curious but it can be very hard to admit these feelings, even to yourself. it must be very frustrating for you, but if you could try to be supportive of him as a friend, and encourage him to be open with you then maybe he will one day open up to you and be honest. in the mean time he is lucky to have such a good friend as you,
best of luck
