Madly in love with male 'best' friend; not sure if he is gay or not.

Thanks for your comments guys (&&&).
Dapulu, he hasn't came out as anything unfortunately!

I am confused about what I should now do though- prettybit4's advice sounds really convincing, yet it could be safer to wait it out as said and see if he changes his behaviour. Thoughts?

 

Thank you so much guys for the help, I really appreciate it I sent him a message in fb when we were talking saying that I bottle up my feelings for people and it could burst one day, and he replied:
"If you burst, people appreciate it because they know you're comfortable enough to release your feelings in front of them."
That's really telling in my eyes So I'm hopeful now, but also prepared for disappointment. We'll just see how it goes. I'm almost certainly going out with him on sunday, and that's when I (hopefully) plan to tell him. I hope it all goes smoothly! Wish me luck (&&&)

 

I think I've had some good luck signs!

Firstly, I thought I'd add that I've came out to two more people since. Both had said that we'd make a good couple and think that he likes me. I hope so :icon_redf Someone posted on my ask.fm that they like me, a lot, anonymously, so it could've been him.

Secondly, I was making a joke with my other friend over FB and said my porn site was [myname]naked.com. He said that my crush was on the website because his name is actually in my first/second names! :O

Lastly, he just messaged me saying 'I've got something really exciting to tell you tomorrow, you'll like it' just as I was sending him a message saying I had something to tell him.

Of course, these most likely mean nothing lol, but I believe in omens so (!)

 

If you read through the updates on this thread, I've already came out to him.

I'll also be updating this thread later

 

So I said I'd do an update, so I'll stick to my promise

First of all, I still haven't told him. I know that may sound disappointing, but it just hasn't really came up in conversation. As DangerAlex had said, I need to wait for a specific time where it comes up in conversation and not just put pressure on myself by planning exactly when to tell him.

I'll do the usual delivery of new about our little moments (which you're probably used to by now :lol: ). Like today in art class, he was quite touchy. I was sitting next to him on the table, but my chair wasn't right next to his. He pulled my chair right up to his so I was close to him <3 he was also lightly touching my thigh when we were talking and looking into each others eyes. It was just such a cute lesson :eusa_danc . Also, yesterday, he was the same- touchy. He even got really close to my private parts at one point- he purposely fired an elastic band there, then picked it right off, smiling :lol: He was also sitting on my lap etc., which was not normal for a straight guy.

I've also confided in one of my close female friends about my feelings. She's been a great help for me, and she thinks he's definitely bi but doesn't want to tell anyone. One thing that was quite upsetting today was when, in a conversation about him asking me out anonymously on ask.fm, he said 'maybe if I was gay or bi, but..'. That was crushing for me (no pun intended), but like my friend, I think he was saying that due to the people around us.

Its also my birthday on saturday, and him and a few friends are going to come out with me to the cinemas and a meal. Do you think that would be a good time to tell him?
