I need advice... badly...

PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST BEFORE REPLYING
So first of all Hi, I'm Josh, and I think im IN LOVE with a guy named Mason. Keep those two names in mind.
(If you read my post a while back, ignore it. This is a VERY updated post that I need help on)
So basically, I'm pretty damn sure I'm in love with Mason, the thing is though he knows I'm bi, but denies he is and says hes straight. I know what your thinking... get over it hes straight.... well no he claims hes not bi BUT a lot of my friends and me are pretty damn sure he is, because of things hes done/the way he acts.

Some things hes done/ways he acts are:
1.NOT getting offended when saying we think hes bi.
2.Shaves everything and I mean EVERYTHING except his head, and DOESNT do a sport that requires that.
3.Has put his cock in a bunch of guys faces.
4.Holds hands with guys every once and awhile.
5.Has had guys rub his chest and stomach for no reason (so he says)
6.Has cuddled with guys before.

Now I like him very much, and I'm pretty damn sure he knows that.
Now I personally think he MIGHT like me to but since he claims hes not bi I don't want to just go up to him and say "Hey Mason, I think I hella like you."

But reasons I think he MIGHT like me to:
1.Hes seen me check him out, and doesn't seem to care.
2.The other day I was sitting next to him when he was laying on a couch, one of my other friends(His name is Aaron)came over to the couch to see something on my phone and Mason was all like "Aaron get off the fucking couch!!!"
4.That same day Mason put my hand on his chest, which he claimed to be a joke but the way he ways stroking his chest, it didnt feel like it.
3.Aaron think I used to be bi and I'm not anymore, told Mason I used to think he was hot, and Mason tried to look disgusted but was also smiling.
4.When I look in his eyes I get a good vibe.
5.A couple times when me and him and few other friends where hanging out, and he was all like "Where's Josh?" in a worried voice, when by the way hella other people where right next to me but only asked about me, and I was all like right here, and then tried to act like he didnt care.
6.Whenever me and him and other people meet up and are just standing there he usually comes stand next to me.
7.The other day I accidentally touched his ass for a sec and he didnt care.
8.When he first found out I was bi he started talking to me sexually. He doesnt now because he doesnt want my other friends thinking hes bi I'm pretty sure, which they do anyway, but did for a while.

And thats it. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much
-Josh

Hey there Josh.

I just recently came out of the same thing that you did. I really liked a guy, and he said he was straight. At first i didn't believe him because he'd act differently from the other guys, he was sensitive, he'd always ask where i was when we're with friends, call me to talk at night and he'd do things with me like cuddle and stuff.
What i'm trying to say is that although you feel right now that you'll die if you don't have him, it's my opinion that you'd be better off it you just forget about him. Life's honestly too short for you to waste on constantly analyzing whether or not Mason wants you in the same way that you want him.
Hanging out with him as a friend is totally fine, but sometimes we have to take people in the way that they say. If he says he's straight, then he's straight.
Maybe i'm wrong, maybe he's just scared to be with you. But be warned, it hurts when he starts dating some girl instead of you. It hurts when you realize that you were so stupid to believe that this "thing" with him was anything more than a friendship.

He could be, he couldn't be. Not every gay or bi guy will get offended when a guy touches him or checks him out. It's a stigma with our society that straight guys have to act a certain way in certain situations and if someone acts anything but, they are automatically pegged as not being straight. Like, with the body shaving thing. A lot of people see manly men as being hairy and if a guy likes to wax or shave, then they are a bunch of girls. Sometimes a guy just really likes the way it feels to not have hair. Doesn't mean he likes dick...he just doesn't like hair lol.

The way I see it is that if by this point (especially knowing that you are bi yourself) he hasn't come out to you IF he is in fact bisexual, then it is for a reason. Either he has no desire to actually be in a relationship with you and feels that it's not necessary to be open about it or he is genuinely not bi. Usually, even people who are very uncomfortable with talking about their sexuality will at least be more open about it with others who have similar...interests...lol

I agree with Rissa and think you need some private time with him, so you can ask him the hard questions that you need to know. He'll respect you more, if you'll come out and tell him what you want and need from him, IN A SECURE SETTING! It seems there are always others around you when you meet; you'll never know with a crowd around you. You obviously really like him, but how he feels about you may be one of two things.............

1. He really likes you, too, but is afraid of what everyone else may think...or

2. He is just a nice guy who does not want to hurt your feelings; he likes you, but not in a sexual way.

You didn't tell your age, but I assume you're young. I know that younger guys have a hard time NOT being intimate with those they are really interested in....so, if he wanted to be with you sexually, he probably would have by now, if conditions were right.

Just my feelings, from your limited explanation of the situation.

Whatever happens, I wish you the best.

Agreed. That's what I was thinking.

Have you ever been alone with him and told him just how you felt? I wouldn't be pushy. Just tell him you think a LOT of him and would like to be together with him more. You'd certainly have to be alone with him to get any honest response. Maybe take him out to dinner or to the beach? A "date", if you will, might set the right mood.

It is risky. You could scare him off and he might not want to have anything more to do with you but, from what you've said, he already knows you're bi and maybe saying the right things at the right time will get him to relax and be honest with you.

Good luck.
