I've had a wonderful friendship with a straight guy for 10 years. He's my best friend, but in fact, I fell in love with him a few times in the past, and I've always felt some attraction towards him. He didn't know I was gay until I told him recently. We're very close emotionally and I feel how much he likes me as a friend, the way he looks and smiles at me, talks to me, hugs me etc. For me it's OK if it stays like this between us, as I wouldn't like to have sex with him (even though I have sexual phantasies about him) and I'm not bothered at all by his girlfriends: I feel in a purely Platonic way about him. He's the only one I've told that I'm gay, not because I hoped he was as well but just to be sincere with him, and he was very positive about it and said it didn't change anything between us, which made me feel happy. I haven't had a gay relationship yet, and I'm afraid that I might like him less if I have a lover, and that would hurt him deeply.Do you think this friendship can work?
