He loves me...

My best friend (we're both guys) just told me he was gay. I have no problem with gay people. In fact, I think gay people are some of the best people in the world. The only problem is, my friend is in love with me. We're both 13, so I don't know if it's just a crush or whatever, but I do know he's been my best friend for years, and I don't want to lose him.

He knows I'm straight, and I want to be there for him, but he keeps telling me that he doesn't know how we can be friends. It's like living a lie for him. I'm not gay, but now, I almost wish I were. I'm confused, where does it go from here? Are we still friends? I'm horrible at making friends with people, and if I lose him, I don't know what I'll do... Somebody, please help me!
Do you think it's normal?

This is an unusual situation. I don't think I have ever heard of someone being dumped because they are STRAIGHT! Ha! It's usually the other way around.

I admire you and envy your friend that you are so understanding of his preference. When I was young, if I had told my friends that I was homo, most of them (but not all) would have disowned me.

The younger kids today are more accepting and that's great.

Your friend obviously has some strong feelings for you. In a way it sounds like he is giving you an ultimatum, either be his lover or nothing at all. That's not fair to you obviously since you aren't homosexual.

I would continue to try to reason with him. If he really cares about you it will eventually get through to him that you can only be really good friends. Make sure he understands that you will be there for him. That he can always talk to you about anything and there is nothing he has to hide from you. Initially there may be some tension, he may break away for a bit, but in time the bond will heal and you'll still be great friends.

Stick with it.

Spammie, you're a piece of work, you know that? This poor guy is obviously going through a serious emotional crisis. Lay off.

Dude, first off, he is gay. Being friends with him makes people think you are gay too. Im not saying that its right, but no straight guys want to hang out with gay guys. So ditch the gay kid and get some straight friends. And a girlfriend.

humm...umm...me and my best friend were best friends before we came out to eachother... I came out to him 1st then a year and a half later he came out to me...sometimes i wish he was still str8. but he's not....trust me!! just be yourself...it doesn't hurt to experiment and it doesn't make you gay if you do experiment...thats ur choice. so just be yourself which i guess is str8. my best friend thought he was straight to. It took him a whole year to realize he was just like me.

well m8, he is goin thru a rly hard phase, and trust me, at that age alot of people go through it. u have just gotta make it clear to him that u still wanna be his mate, and it should change nothing.u hav rly gotta drill it in that it can never happen, almost hav a go at him but then joke about it to break the ice afterwards. when he has it in his head it will never happen he will get ova you...it may take a while but he will.
unfortunatly there int a quik fix, it gna take time, sorry m8
hope this helped
