Help with a "Straight-Crush"

[ekuboy]

I am 22 years old, and have known that I have been bi since middle school, but kept it to myself until just last week. I came out to my best (male) friend, and he was completely okay with me being bi. He says he is straight too. He seemed kind of interested in the my thoughts on it and everything. And when I told him that I had experimented a few times with guys, he also seemed interested how that was too..what my thoughts were on it and everything.
For a while, I have really liked my friend, and he has been a very good friend to me. And we are always there for each other. He has a great personality, and his looks are very appealing too. Here recently, my attraction to him has grown A LOT. I have always wondered if he was bi or gay, and I have even talked to a gay person, and my friend trips this gay guy's "gay-dar."
I really want to tell my friend that I like him more than just a friend, but I just don't know how to. If someone could help me out with this, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!!

My best friend is straight as well. But he is also extremely interested when I tell him about the homosex I've had most recently. This doesn't make him less straight, he just likes talking about sex, no matter what kind it is. And just because it's not the kind of sex he has, that doesn't mean he won't be interested in hearing about my technique, or maybe he'll have something to add.

I have another straight friend, one who is really attractive. Despite telling me he is straight, people have told me they get that feeling like their gaydar is going off around him, y'know? Well, after years of hitting on him I can tell you he is definitely straight. And there is a lot of time and effort I'm not going to get back.

My advice, don't read into the little things too much. You might be jumping to conclusions. But, if you have that wonderful lovestruck feeling we all get from time to time you're simply delaying the inevitable and you'll have to confront him about this eventually. Just make sure you don't come on too strong, you could end up putting a wedge between the two of you.

That's good advice from Buck, EKUBOY.

I have a friend, Eddy, who has a fishing buddy, who is straight. Eddy is bi and his wife is, too. About 5 years ago, Eddy and his fishing buddy were hold up in an abandoned cabin during a storm and Eddy's buddy allow him to suck him off. His friend does not reciprocate in any way, but when his mood is right, he will still allow Eddy to do his thing. At least, he is clean, discrete and Eddy knows him....it's not like he was any stranger he might bump into..

This seems awfully one-sided to me, but Eddy is pretty much a bottom and servicing someone, who does not return the favor, seems normal to him. (No, I've never been with him, myself)

However, the situation could have gone the other way and maybe even ruined the relationship. I suggest you do as Buck said; approach the subject with your friend carefully and see what will happen. If he is truly your friend, he will just say yes and you can proceed from there, say no, but stay a friend. There is also the possibility that you could loose him, too.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
