Question - (12 January 2008) 1 Answers - (Newest, 14 January 2008)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, *elhel writes:

Well i really dont know what to tell my best friend as i have never been asked advice on anything like this before!!!

I have two best friends (both guys) one of whom is gay and came out about a year ago. Well my gay best friend (we'll call him greg) told me about a month ago that he had began falling for my other best friend (we'll call him craig). At this point i didnt know what to say and just told him to let time take its course.

Well craig has always been a bit camp and some have questioned his sexuality but he told people he was straight and now makes jokes about it saying 'he's the campest straight person you will ever meet'.

Craig recently got a gf, however they broke up about a week after they started going out (still dont know the reason why).

Well greg came to me about a week ago and told me he thought he was falling in love with craig and began talking about how they were perfect for each other and that he wishes craig was gay. Saying he's not going to hold his hopes on him actually being gay.

And i dont know what to tell him, please help, should i just tell him what i would tell a girl who didnt know whether a lad liked her?? However there is the added worry that they are best friends too and the fact that we dont really know whether craig might be gay or bi or whatever.

plz help me, i h8 seeing my best friend so upset!!!

xXx

A female reader, anonymous, writes (14 January 2008):

The short answer is, yes just treat him like you would if he was a girl mate. The truth of the matter is, whether Craig is *actually* gay or not, at the moment he calls himself straight and has had a girlfriend. You have to keep saying this to Greg. Keep him busy, go out lots and spend time with your other friends. Keep distracting him. It could be infactuation and not love. Boost his confidence, and point out that he hasnt actually been rejected by Craig, Craig just isnt gay. But he shouldnt tell Craig how he feels.
