So me and my best friend were out in town just chillin and stuff, and we're sitting in a cafe and he says "Yo that guy on the counter thinks we're gay" and I just laugh along and then he's like "Hey let's play along, c'mon make him think we're gay" and I'm like... No. He gets all sad, and then HE plays along all by himself. I go quiet and whip out my phone and pretend I just got a call to try and cut the conversation. He starts acting all weird and I just say "yo my rides in like 15 minutes I gotta split" and he's like, "Oh how convenient so is mine, I'll just go and wait with you"... And then he gives away so many signs he might as well have been wearing a billboard on his head saying I'M GAY.
So laters that guy's gettin all flirty on Facebook and I just drop it and say "Yo are you commin onto me? Cause you been acting all freaky, it kinda looks like you're gay" and he replies in a split second: "Yes I am" and up and leaves the conversation at that.
I ain't gay. I had a phase about a year back, but I'm not gay. I never had any inkling that he was either. It's just freaking me out, he's been my best friend for about two years now, and I doubt we're gonna still be so cool after this. What should I do? Anyone else had this happen, if so I could use some advice.

>>1 I guess all you can really do is emphasize that you want to be just friends with him, tell him that you don't have any romantic feelings for him and that you would appreciate him respecting that. Frankly I think it's ridiculous to end a relationship, especially between best friends, over someone's sexual orientation. You also have to respect and support him as a friend.

KILL THE PICKS

This happened to me a little while back.

...yeah i have nothing to say except >>2.

And also that you should support them. In my community I am one of very few pro-LGBTQ+ peoples that aren't in that crowd, and that has earned me a lot of dirty looks. But I am beyond proud of those friends who did come out of the closet. I'm just now showing my true self to those around me, and even to those I've known for quite a few years. My human side. I suppose I see some of myself in those who have come out of the closet just recently for fear of non-acceptance, because I was the same way (in a sense) for quite some time. Just support him as best you can, as a friend.

Good luck, and keep us updated, okay?

Look I'm probably not the best guy to tell you this but, as a Bi-sexual I can pretty much tell you two things...

1. Regardless of the the fact that he is gay, he's your best friend so ending a relationship because of that would be fucked up on so many levels.

2. You may not feel anything sexual towards him but he does for you. Go ahead and let him know that you rather stay friends, let him down easy and I am sure he'll understand.

and as for >>3 go fuck yourself.
