Everyone would from now and than make a joke that he is gay. I deffended him. But yesterday he told me that he might be gay for real, as he thinks that we are more than just friends... LIKE OMG!!! so I went home when I heard that, and told him not to call me again, like ever...

    Yikes, I feel for you man. No matter what happens, just remember your friend as who he is and not because of his sexual orientation. As uncomfortable as it is, you really hurt his feelings when he came out and told you the truth. It takes a lot fo a person to admit he's gay and not only that tell you how he feels. I don't blame you for your reaction, but be man enough to talk to him about how you are not into him in that kind of way. I can't really give you advice on what to say to him because I would be shocked myself, but just remember he's your friend and he's a good person don't hate him because of that.

    nicely overlook approximately all the stereotype stuff. Stereotypes advise no longer something. purely through fact he's into theatre, does no longer advise he's gay. And purely through fact he would not play activities doe no longer advise he's gay. once you stated he became throughout you, and tickling you and such, does he try this to everyone else? Is he a "gentle" style of guy, or became that the 1st time he has ever acted like that to any guy. With the "gay comments" do you think of he became purely kidding, through fact regrettably human beings opt to humorous tale approximately that subject remember. next time he makes a gay remark than purely tell him which you're cool with him being gay until now he says purely kidding. if your buddy somewhat is somewhat gay, than help him. And enable him understand which you have his help.

    He is your friend surely he knows you. He knew that you will react this way if he tell you. Plz stop making things difficult for the poor Guy. If you are not interested in him (ie you r't Gay) just tell him he will understand and he will respect that but you can still be friends. There is nothing wrong in befriending Gay people like you have friends in the opposite sex.

    You do exactly what you would do if a girl who you weren't interested in told you they liked you. There is no need to be so terrified. Just tell him you are not interested in him. Like anyone, he will probably just accept that and move on.

    If you feel you need to discuss this with your family, maybe ask to speak to your mum alone and let her know what's happened and that you feel extremely uncomfortable. Mums are usually great listeners.

    Please remember that it took a lot of courage for this boy to come out and confide in you. He would be feeling very vulnerable too.

    I'm in need of more money. So if I were you, I'll ask him to pay me for you-know-what.

    Kidding. Well, maybe your friend could be joking. Hopefully he is. Then if he is not, maybe you could tell him straight that you are not into gay relationships. But if he tells you that he really loves you, then I don't know what you should do. Maybe run away!

    First be mature. Then realize that you don't know when he started becoming attracted to other males. You should tell him you don't go that way and it is too uncomfortable to be his friend now. He will try you and see how far he can go if you stay in the friendship with him. So if you remain his friend you better prepare for that.

    It's okay to have a gay friend as long as he or she respects the fact that you are not gay.

    If they ever cross the line of respect, then it's time to end the contact.

    I would talk to him and tell him what you think. Tell him that you have nothing aginst him being gay but that you are not and would rather be friends. If he gets mad, then you can be sure he was just using you to become his gay partner. If he understands, then hopefully you can still be friends.

    tell him your friends & just that ask him why he hid it from.

    does his family know .

    tell him its ladys only in your bed.

    you cant aviod him tell him honestly how you about what he has said.

    Well, if he likes you then he is not gay.

    As clear as that.
