Guys, I'm really lost on what I should do. I'll not pretend to be an avid member of the Dollars, but I know that this forum is a place that I can go to in times of confusion and of desperation.

I'm gay, I'll say it simply. My mother knows, my father doesn't. That's not what matters, though, because what matters is the boy who shall be known only as Dave.

Dave and I have had some...intimate encounters over the years. I don't know if he's bi, or gay, or what, but as far as I know, he hasn't expressed these feelings to anyone but me. He's cheated on his girlfriend with me a few times, and as a firm believer in monogamy, I feel like a complete shit every time he does it.

I really like him. I know it's stupid and risky but I don't know what I should do. Should I ask him out, or is his girlfriend, whom he *seems* to be in love with, standing between us? I know I should never ask him to leave his girlfriend for me but I can't help but think something else is going on here.

Please help me, Dollars. I need you guys.

First of all, I'm not too good to giving advices, um...
I guess first of all you have to talk with Dave. You have to say to him that you are gay and also your feelings. I know it isn't easy, but If you can't do this you can't move on, so relax yourself and talk with him.
Second, I don't think that Dave and his girlfriend will stay in-love forever. But I think it would be better not to talk to her. First your friend.
Don't desesperate yourself if Dave doesn't feel the same. You know, in life you have to suffer, and depends in how stronger areyou to survive. Clear your mind. Don't think too much in other people's opinion amd go straight for it.

Good luck. Dollars are always here.

>>1 I think that you should talk with him about it. If he had sexual/intimate things with you then he mostly likely might be bi. Tell him that you want a legitimate relationship sometime in the future, I'm guessing you're still in highschool? If you're still in highschool then I'd wait on the official relationship, but you still need to talk to him about cheating on his girlfriend. It makes you feel bad and that's not fair, it might be hurting her too. Talk to him about it okay? If he really cares for you then he'll understand, there is a chance that he's using you too so be sure to talk to him about the two of you seriously, it might be hard but it is necessary to do so sometimes. Good luck, I hope I helped ^^
