Right now I'm in Early Child Development, and we got paired up for the baby project. You know, the fake baby that wakes you up at two in the morning? Yeah, that. But I got paired up with a guy, odd numbers and whatnot. I really didn't mind until I figured out he was a flaming gay. He had pink and blonde hair, and wore shorts and t-shirts and girls hoodies and stuff like that. Not saying it made me uncomfortable, but I just didn't know what to say, never having dealt with homosexual people before. He's nice and chatty, and super sweet. He offers to help and smiles a lot, and I'm comfortable around him. Recently though I've been getting this little twinge in my pants, so to speak, whenever he brushes against me or smiles at me. I was starting to feel weird around him, and I think I might be gay...I kinda think he's cute, and sometimes I just wanna hold him and snuggle him and keep him to myself. I think he might like me too...

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

i suggest you go and talk to him and ask him questions and stuff. if you dont know that you are maybe he could help you figure out your sexuality?

[Funkduder]

I'm not quite sure what the problem is so I'll just take it one at a time

If the problem is that you think you might be gay:
I personally would't worry about it. If you are gay, that's chill, and if you're not, you're not. The case might be that you're not becuase us guys get turned on all the time by the weirdest stuff (that's not like guys or chicks), and we don't even know why. But even if you are gay, that's chill. You want him and he might want you and so go for it.

If the problem is "going for it" then take the advice my teacher always to my friend: "Calm down and take deep breaths"
If you want to get with him, I think you should talk to him about it and just work it out like any other couple. The worse that can happen is rejection, right and if that happens, there are always people (including me) who can help a brother out. :)

First of all, NEVER EVER be afraid of being anything "abnormal". It is completely normal and perfectly okay if you are. =3
Second, if he likes you and you like him, I personally say go for it. If you fall in love and he ends up being right for you, well, you'll never know until you try. But if it ends up being that you're not as into it as you thought you would be, explain that you've discovered you're probably straight and I'm sure he'll understand.
Of course, I know next to nothing about you or him ^^;

You may also not be gay, you may have no gender preference or in the more mainstream world term Bisexual. Talk to him and also take a look at yourself, do you still find girls attractive in the 'twinge in you pants' kind of way?

[Gallagher]

Heh... Sexuality really is such an incredibly complex thing. The others are right. Don't be afraid to give it a shot. There's nothing wrong with it whatsoever.

That being said. If you do decide to try things out, make sure you go slowly. It's not good to rush into figuring yourself out, or giving yourself a label of sorts. Sexuality is fickle and can change on a dime, especially when you're young. There's so much more than just straight, gay, and bi, it can start to give you a headache! (Which it shouldn't, because any and all types of folks are amazing!)

[CupcakeDolly]

If you're still in school, then you're at the age where exploring your sexuality is inevitable. Keep in mind that, even when you're older, sexuality can't really be shoved into a few different categories - it's more like a sliding scale. You could very well be mostly "straight," and still be sexually attracted to this one specific person. I would suggest telling him how you feel about it, and seeing what he has to say on the matter. It might help to get the perspective of someone who has more or less figured out their own sexuality.

That being said... -runs off to read yaoi-

and now i am going with the not-popular theory, dude, he makes you happy and you are(i assume from the way you speak and the age /i/ was when i took that class) under twenty, at this point it could just be you are just spending a lot of time with an honestly /good/ person of the sort you want to be with and they are /there/ culturally speaking you have been conditioned to respond favorably to a companion like this dude and as a young person the libido is close to follow

or you could honestly like dudes too, i say see if you get a similar or same response from other males, if you don't ping it might be just this dude or even just the idealization of this dude

[Splitskull]

You guys are super. ^-^
I'm still not sure but this will help as something to look back on.
:D

[Funkduder]

I'm sure I speak on behalf of everyone that we're glad to be helpful and wish you luck on your current conflicts. :D

[Fauxreal]

I agree with Funk, I wish you luck on whatever you choose. Explore. Have fun... just use protection. <3

[whitexsuicide]

I think you should really talk it out with some one you trust. If you don't want to do that, then just go for it. Just ask the guy out. Worse thing he says no and he doesn't go that way, but you have to see it as an experience, try not to make it into "the guy i want to be with forever" it would be more or less of a good time with some one you like. I'm sure you wouldn't want to regret not asking him, if you do turn out gay. And remember explain to him where you are in your sexuality DO NOT LIE TO HIM.

[Lauv Keiko]

I have only one answer for this:
GO WITH THE FLOW.
Nothing is wrong with falling in love, be it with whoever or whatever the person is. *hugs chu*

[Daring Scylla]

great advice so far. Whatever you do, be rational, and think it through a bit first. Remain calm and remember to love yourself no matter what. be honest with both him and yourself. and good luck :)

[Haunting]

Theres nothing wrong with being gay, so don't let anyone convince you otherwise. ;3
Its not abnormal or anything <3
But yea, so far, alot of good advice has been mentioned on this. I hope you'll get the answer soon, I know how frustrating it can be to not know and be confused all the time.

Also, like others have said, just go for it if it feels right c:

[Oliver8607]

Just be honest with him and yourself it doesnt matter your sexuallity as long as your happy with yourself :)
