I am not gay, & I have no problem with those who are, and in fact, one of my best friends is gay. A lot (well not a lot – but a few) people have like picked on and teased him because of that, but whenever I am around – I always stick up for him. It pisses me off how homophobic and mean people can be! But anyways, like a few days ago, he finally worked up the nerve to tell me he liked me, (I already had a hunch, and tried to hint that I wanted to keep things as platonic as possible) but he told me anyways. He knows I am not gay, but said he had to get it off of his chest – but I think maybe he hopes I might turn gay or something… I don't know.
However, lately ever since then he has like been avoiding me. I feel so bad because I hurt him, but I am not gay, and I do not want loose a 17-year friend over an awkward thing such as this. What should I do?
P.S. ~ I am serious here, serious answers only please. If you are going to give some asinine or immature answer do not waste my time.
