Need desperate help. Please, please read!?
Okay so to answer the question properly here's a recap of what I've been going through lately.
http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ap...

These are questions I've posted here before and now I've fcuked things up so bad (i know i spelled it wrong, just don't want to get some warning notice about language or something).
Okay so if you haven't bothered to read up, basically I thought I was a straight guy until I became close friends with a gay friend of mine (for keeping identity safe, I'll call him Friend) whom I started to develop strong feelings for.
I've sort of come to the conclusion that I'm neither straight, gay or bi, because I for my entire life have been into women until him, and I'm not attracted to any other man at all except him. So I feel I don't fit into any of those categories correctly, maybe I'm for the heart.
So to gauge my sexuality a lot of people told me to just tell him and be open about it, and also consider if I'm sexually attracted to him to see if I really feel in love or just highly admire him.
Here's where it gets so fcuked up, probably beyond repair and I'll try make it short so it's not too long to read.
Basically I was too scared to say anything still, he eventually started talking to me about some guy he was interested in. Kicked myself!
We met to hang out and he brought the guy because he wanted me to meet him. In all honesty he seemed like a good guy, of course I was just jealous or something.
Went cold for the night, he could tell something was up with me. Met up again with Friend and the guy he was interested in, basically acted like a tool the entire night. At the end of the night, Friend asked me what was up with me, said it was nothing and left.
A few days passed, still hadn't spoken to Friend for a few days as I didn't know what to say. So I meet up with a few other friends who tell me that Friend and his interest are looking like things could get serious in the future. So I finally man up and call Friend, asked if I could go over to his apartment to talk. He agreed.
Started off great, said he really missed me, I missed him too but I didn't say it. Then I basically told him everything.
Things went silent for a few minutes. Then he asked me if I was sure. WTF does that mean am I sure? Said yes I'm sure. Looked at me confused and said he thought i was straight. Said I think I am but its different with him. It went quiet again. So I sort of snapped and asked him to say something.
He said he doesn't feel the same way, and that he really liked having a straight close friend and didn't want to ruin that either. Heart broke!
I said if he could just give me a chance. Went quiet again, so being the moron I am I snapped again to say something. He said he doesn't know what I want from him, especially since I know that he is interested in someone already. He said we can still be friends if that's what I want. I didn't know what to say, because I didn't want to just be friends anymore and this is the first time I've ever done something like this so the rejection I took badly. I just left without even saying bye.
Another few days pass and I ask Friend if I can see him again. Said he's not sure, last time didn't go so well. I convinced him anyway and met up at his apartment again. I didn't really know what I wanted to talk about all I wanted to say was to give me and him a try. So I asked that again, and he said I already know his answer. So being completely fcuked in the head as I am, I kissed him.
He pushes me away immediately, stares blankly at me and then leaves his apartment.
Feeling like an idiot, I decide to stick around til he gets back home so I can apologise. 47 minutes later knocks at the door so I figure it was him, turns out to be his interest. He asks if Friend is home, tried calling but he wasn't picking up. Being the tool I am, I tell interest that me and Friend have been seeing each other and that Friend doesn't want to see him at this point. Interest looks at me and says 'figures' and then leaves.
I don't know what came over me at all. I'm not like this at all I find myself going crazier and acting more impulsive when I never used to.
Friend won't talk to me, won't answer any of my calls or messages. Doesn't even stay at his apartment as I went there to try see him and a mutual friend was there locking up his place and wouldn't tell me where he was staying.
What should I do? I know at this point I've probably completely fcuked things up beyond repair and I will probably get a lot of hate comments but I guess I deserve those too.
Thanks for all the answers, I appreciate it.
Funkysoulfulness, thanks for that insight about what he might have been thinking with me being straight and then putting this all on him.
Mormos, Kay and Dan thanks for your honest answers. I will behave, after all that's happened I don't want to do anything in case I somehow make the friendship completely unrepairable.
I will keep my space, I might write a letter I'm not too sure as I usually have a hard time expressing myself. I might just ask a mutual friend to tell him that I'm sorry and if he feels that he could forgive and still wants to talk no matter how long, I'll be around.
I didn't think about it but it seems like the whole sexuality thing hit me hard all at once, I guess I just reacted badly because it's a different kind of stress I'd never dealt with before.
In all honesty, I just hope that at the end of all this we can still at least be friends, I can't see him not being in my life even just as friends.

Not going to lie to you, that's pretty f*cked up. Don't be so hard on yourself though, your going through a really hard time trying to figure out about your sexuality. Give him time, and explain this to him. Ask him if he remember when he was coming to term with his sexuality and multiply that by 10 and that's what your going through. Write a letter and let him know your willing to give him as much time as it take for him to forgive you. Make sure you do that, after you write the letter let it go until he contacts you no matter how long it takes. You don't deserve hate comments, people make mistakes and you obviously feel terrible about it. Your not trying to make excuses and your owning up for your actions. That's way more decent than most people.
As for your sexuality maybe you just find certain individuals attractive. You might be pansexual. Either way take this time to sort out your feelings and try to figure out who you are. I'm sorry you having such a hard time, it seems like this all came at you kind of fast. Good Luck and don't get to down on yourself.

I have been in your shoes, and the feelings you are having are normal. It sounds a lot like Post Traumatic Stress Snydrone, and you need to go and get some help. I know you say you don't have the time with working, but you need to put yourself first. The last think you want to do is end it all-the old geezer isn't worth it. If you really can't get to a doctor, then I would recommend going to a minister. They are usually free and will work with your schedule. Also, look in the phone book under support groups or call your local hospital/clinic and they should be able to give you some referral numbers to call. It really helped me to overcome it when I got into a support group with other people that had the same problems i had had. I didn't have the nightmares/flashbacks, but I did really feel guilty about it even though I did nothing to provoke it and you didn't either. You will get past it, but it won't happen overnight. It takes time. You've had all this built up inside of you for 10 years, and it's going to take a while. In all reality, you need a therapist who will listen and knows how to deal with it professionally. I don't know that you ever get over it, but you can learn how to cope with it and get on with your life. If you are losing sleep over it you will get run down and sick. So, even if you have to call in sick at work I would do that and go to a doctor. Good luck.

I feel really sorry for you.. It sounds like you just fell in love with this person who happened to be a guy and I would guess that all this outrageous behaviour was partly because you were a bit freaked as you have always been solely attracted to women.
I would say that you prob have not f****d stuff up with your friend (if he was a true pal) but for sure you need to stop hassling him. Give him space. From his point of view he has thought of you totally unreachable (you being straight) and it has prob shocked him to the core that you felt the way you do.. I am not saying that he will eventually turn up on your doorstop and declare his undying love for you but hopefully in the future you two can be mates again... It was pretty childish to say to the 'interest' that you and 'friend' were seeing one another but alot of daft things are said in the heat of the moment and with any luck him and 'interest' will fizzle out.. For now though please take my advice and leave 'friend' alone.. He knows you are keen to see/speak to him but it should be on his terms right now and if he is not ready to do so, respect him..

you f^cked up bad kiddo. You're going to need to give this some space. Give yourself some time to get yourself under control, and him some time to be less angry, and he has every right to be angry. Don't call him, don't show up at his house, eventually you will need to apologize not only to him, but to the guy he is dating.
After you've let things cool off, start up a dialogue through a mutual friend. Have the friend apologize for you and ask if you can all get together as a group and go out to dinner or something. Promise to behave (YOU BETTER F^CKING BEHAVE). Continue to only hang out in a group for awhile. You need to understand that this is entirely his decision, you f^cked up, if he doesn't want to talk to you you have to let it be at that. Hopefully in time he will reconsider.
Remember, do not approach him directly, have someone else do it for you. You need to behave yourself, you need to let this attraction go, you need to act responsibly. You have shattered his trust in you and that will take a very long time to put back together. If he's willing to give you the chance.

Please just forget about him and move on with your life...
It will hurt at first because you'd developed feelings and whatnot as well as forming a close friendship, but it's best for everyone...
You were close friends with him and became confused...
You're NOT gay.
You've probably messed up the friendship and trust too, which is, believe it or not, FOR THE BEST, because it will allow you to heal faster not waiting around to see if things will progress with this guy...
Just LEAVE him ALONE and move on with your life... Please.
I say this for your best interest.

wow, man. that really sucks. you could try finding his interest again and telling him everything. maybe he'll understand. if it was me I would do that then ask him if he could tell friend that I was sorry and that I feel like shist and such. I would then wait for friend to at least call or something, and if nothing happens, I'd just try my best to deal with the heart break. I'm sorry, dude. it sounds like you really have it rough. love makes people do stupid crap sometimes.

dump him..he is confused and ****** up...don't let him take you down with the ship. Trust that there are plenty of men out there who would love to have you...go for it! HE can be your friend, but no more. There may come a day when he will regret his actions, but that is his problem. Stop letting him hurt you...not fair.!
