writes:Hello! I am female, with a male friend who I've only known for about a year and a half. We've grown very quickly in a year because we were both interns at the same company and had to move to a new city. We both happen to come from the same hometown. Now that the internship is over and we've moved back home, we see each other a lot less but still keep in touch. For the past 6 months, I've noticed that my friend will sometimes physically touch me at times when we're hanging out. ie:-we were taking a walk at a park and to dodge a swarm of insects he put his hands on my shouders and moved to my other side-he'll pat my head-he'll nudge or lightly kick my foot in a theatre or something-he usually nudges me with his shoulder if we happen to pass by in public One major note: my male friend is gay. He usually avoids touching me or even standing too close to me, so while the above might seem trivial, they were very noticable changes. I suppose my question then is...why the change? Does he just feel more comfortable around me? I highly doubt he's bi and has those sorts of feelings towards me, plus I already have a boyfriend. I don't mind the small prods and bumps at all; he's my only gay friend and I'm just curious as to what may be going through his head. :) Thanks in advance, all! Signed: Huh? Reply to this Question

ok, well gay men are normally more attached to female friends. this is because they feel like they can fit in more, be included. chances are, he values you as a really close friend and he really feels like he can be himself around you. also, if you dont see eachother that much now, maybe he just really values his time around you. its perfectly normal but if you are worried about it, talk to him. he'd love to feel like you respect him enough to go to him if you have problems/issues
