I just found out one of my best friends is g*y...and on top of that he likes me. What should I do?

Question

And Its hard to hang out with him now. I always knew we were good friend but not THAT good, Its like when he told me he was expecting me to respond the same...I'm at a loss of what to do.

Answer 1

Just tell him you like him as a friend.  Tell him you are straight.  If he is one of your best friends he should understand.   Usually g*y men and women will only hit on g*y men or women.   It would be a shame to lose a friend over this.  

Answer 2

well.....that's REALLY AWKWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol. if it makes you feel weird and uncomfortable then tell him you think you guys should take a break. not just because he's g*y but because he has a crush on you and that it makes you feel.....well...... awkward

Answer 3

Just say, Well i am very proud of you to relize tha tyou were g*y. But i'm sorry (name) but i'm not and i would just like to stay friends.

Answer 4

wow.  this IS a difficult spot to be in.  

but since you don't have the same feelings as him...

just tell him in the nicest way possible:

"we've been best friends for like ever and i dont want to ruin what we have between us, us being best friends... (or something along the lines of that) and even tho ur..."g*y" doesn't mean i am.  i support you the whole way thru and in every decision that you make.  but im sorry...i dont wanna hurt you...but i just think of you as like my brother..."

just, i guess be gentle about the whole thing and if he is truly ur best friend...he'll understand.  

and if he does take it the way u want him too... you should be the first one to offer up guy's nights out.  get like a bunch of your guy friends and go to movies or something.  make him take his mind off the awkwardness.  it will help him and let him see that you truly are a best friend that will be there for him.  

Answer 5

Let him down gently

Say:

''Sorry I don't feel the same, but we always can be friends.''

Answer 6

Tell him the truth that you're not into it.  Become a free man. Why should you be shy or ashamed from someone who has no shame himself?

Regards

Answer 7

Treat him just the same as you did before, it'll be hard to get over.. but you'll have to do that internally. Try not to avoid him, he'll feel like ****.

Answer 8

dont listen to billy

he doesnt necesarily look to you as s*x because im bi and i have friends who are girls and i dont look at them as s*x toys or something

and just calmly talk to him and tell him that you are not g*y.

stay friends with him but if he hits on you or keeps talkin about how he likes you then break off the relationship not because he likes you but because he is disrespecting you and your choices

hope i helped

Answer 9

Dont say hard.  You MUST get rid of him. He wants you and that is sick. He will always look at you for s*x. YYUUKK

Answer 10

BE SUPPORTIVE. that is the most important thing. make it clear to him how you feel, but also let him know that you want to stay friends. you can read some good stuff at www.pflag.com or www.glsen.org that is very supportive of friends and family of g**s. your friend really needs you to be there for him--not as a boyfriend, but as someone he can be himself around. until you are in that situation, you cannot understand how mandatory it is to have supportive friends. don't freak out. your friend just trusted you with a very big piece of his life. you should be honored. tell him that you're okay with talking about it if he needs to, and just act like it's not that huge of a deal, even if you're terrified. good luck, and thank you so so so so so so much for caring.

Answer 11

You should tell him that you dont feel the same way and probably never will.And try to just get away from him as far as possible
