Last night, we were sitting in my room, and we started to talk at the same time.

"You go first," I said while tugging on my braid. My heart was doing flips as I tried to figure out how I was going to tell my best friend that I was madly in love with him.

"Okay," he took a deep breath. "So, there's something that I think you should know. I've been wanting to tell you for a long time, so....here it is."

My stomach fluttered with butterflies. He took another deep breath.

"I'm gay."

I'm sorry but the ending was so unexpected that I just laughed.

I found out my best friend was gay two years ago. I loved him then. And I couldn't get over it and desperately wished he was straight for a year. Then it got easier. There are still some moments where I fall head over heels back in love and I just wish it would be okay, but it is okay now. He's the bestest friend I've ever had and that's all he will be, and that's completely fine. It just took time.

I'm sorry and I know where you're coming from.

Hi there.

I just want you to know that I know exactly how you feel.

My best friend, who I thought I was in love with, came out to me back in February. But now he's still my best friend and jokes about the fact that I used to have a crush on.

So just know that it might suck and really confusing right now, just know that there might be light at the end of the tunnel!

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha oh my g od

i've been in the same boat dude

bit of advice, don't rub it in his face or even give hints that you're disappointed/shocked about his sexuality because most likely he'll get annoyed with or angry at you

accept him and accept that you're not going to be together. he likes the same sex. let him like other guys and don't get in the way

I can relate.. I hide pain behind a smile and I always ask why the heck is wrong with me
