    Well if you ask him if he is gay and he says no,yeah you will feel like a fool,but that feeling will pass.The best advice I can give you is just to do it otherwise you will never know what could have been.

    Get to talking,get to know him. Then once you're comfortable,bring up a gay subject to see what his reaction is. i.e. Gay marriage...whatever. That way you can see how he feels about such things. Then...take it from there! Good luck!

    Yes don't talk to him with a crowd of people around or godness knows what he would say in order not to be outed.Talk to him alone.

    Yeah, see what he thinks of gay things (marriage etc) like Mickey said, then ask him alone, so there's not peer pressure. I wouldn't rush the whole thing, otherwise he'll feel edgy...
    Good luck and tell us how it went!

    well what grade are you i know stupid question but it can make a big diff on how people react. i know how you feel there is this really cute guy im my drama club(we are doing a play called " a work in progress" its a really stupid one about the stuff you go through in high school ugh" and he acts gay and i would tottaly date him lol (even though he just shaved his head so he had a mo hawk lol) but i cant tell him im gay lol. but just ask if everyone knows your gay than what is there to lose i mean its not like he could out you.

    Does he know - not guess, not think, but KNOW - you're gay? That's probably the first thing you're going to need to do is let him know. Not hint, not suggest, but know.

    Secondly, even after he knows, I wouldn't ask him out. Not in so many words - "You wanna go out with me?" Instead, pick an event/activity you think he'd like, and invite him to it. Since you're in drama class, maybe work that angle. "I saw that a local theater group is doing 'Death of a Salesman', and I wanted to go check it out. I thought it might be cool to see how they put it on. Would you want to go with me?"
