I was the on the receiving end of this type of relationship. I have a friend who wrote me a letter about his feelings for me. I was not aware of his sexual orientation prior to this. In his letter, he thought that I was bisexual because of some of the ways I talked to other guys. I tend to be flirtatious, but not sexually. Naturally, I was quite shocked and talked to him about it. It took me a couple of days to figure out how to talk to him, but I did. He and I are still quite close, and I consider him one of my best friends. I guess my answer is to watch his body language before you make your decision. Hope for the best, but be prepared for an undesirable outcome. Good luck.

I know how you feel i'm going threw the same thing. Me and my best friend are still friends and he knows that i'm bi but he's ok with that. But he also knows that i'm totaly in love with him. He's the only one that makes me feel good and yet he's deniying his true feelings. Just give it time and it will all work out, trust me i know. Give them slight hints and talk to your friend about it. You never know it might be worth it, if you want to have them just...wait.

Good Luck, and just be happy

Well, you can tell him. Since he is not gay know that nothing will come of it. You know this guy really well and that is why it could have happened. you like him as a friend and wanted more. You will still be friends but it might be akward for a while.

Good Luck.
