Im really need you guys opinion on this ok.

Well, i Have this friend we'll call "Marco", who I've known for 5 years. We have alot of things and common and basically get along really well. Im gay (but not openly) and I think he's cute. i think i love him but dont know how to say it. I always thought he was straight (even though he barely went out with girls, and they would later brake up with him becuz he wouldnt "mess around" with them.) until one night i spent the night at his house and we slept in the same bed. (theres only 1 bed)but he started touching me sexually, (he thought i was sleep) and then he would act staight in the morning. i would've never known he was actually gay if i didnt stay up that night. Marco is gay but he doesnt know im gay....Im gay but, i know now he's gay and i still dont know how to tell him how i feel about him because i think it might mess up our relationship because he probably doesnt want anybody to know im really nervous cuz i cant think of what his reaction might be.

Well him touching you shows that he is interested. I'd tell him how you feel. First I would tell him that you're gay because what i find when i tell a friend that I'm gay is if they are they tell me because they aren't afraid that I'll stop being friends with them anymore. If he says that he isn't ask him why he touched you. And as for worrying about messing up your relationship, partners and spouses should be best friends. If you think you love him don't let him slip away. If you do you will regret it for years to come.

AvgGuy1 agony auntWell... you could try sleeping over night again one night. He'll probably put the moves on you again. At which time... you reciprocate. Pretend to roll over or something... and then cuddle up to him and reach around and touch him.

OR

You could just tell him... that you were JUST ABOUT to fall asleep when he reached over and touched you... and that you really liked it... and that you'd like to do that some more, or even more - if he wants.

Good to know that your accepting who you are, and that maybe your friend is bi-curious or might be gay.

So, what you should do is to make the first move and let him notice that your interested with him. He touched you, which mean he himself like you too.

5 years of friendships, and he yet to know your sexually? Is he uncomfortable with homosexuality or homophobic? If not, you could open to him and see his reaction. I think you would not mess up your friendship if he is your best friend. They support you regarless your sexual preferrences.
