 I believe it's the same with issues with being straight. You just kinda have to be sure that he IS gay. I mean, you can't ask him out on a date then find out he was straight and not gay. Confidence can be boosted just by knowing that there is nothing wrong with being gay and you are not alone on being gay. No big deal. :) Keep it real brotha!

 Ok for the guy who likes you you could try getting some contact with him via phone or internet. You could write him a letter and reassure him you have no issues with your sexuality adn inform him you are why and not very confident.
As for the showing you liek someone start off small. Your in the Uk but is there a gay village' local to you. In Manchester there is one and its a very good place to socialise and meet new people...
Try flirting, yet not making it obvious adn when someoen picks up the message use your instincts to go from there x

That way you can be sure that you don't hit on a straight guy, and scare them off a little bit. Tell yourself that there's nothing wrong with being gay, and that you're proud, and that you're attractive - basically it's just getting yourself into the right frame of mind :] confidence-wise, it's nothing different to being straight. It's just being sure about the guy you like. Good luck :]
