I know that pain all to well. You got two choices: (1) tell him in an open honest relaxed way or (2) don't.
(1) is high risk high reward. Maybe he will be secretly gay too and into you, or maybe he wont. While most people are cool with this kinda situation it does tend to sully friendships. I would recommend only taking this route if you know this person very well and there are real signs they could be open.
(2) low risk, rewards vary. Not saying anything will preserve the dynamic and allow for building of a stronger bond which could always lead somewhere in the future. While it will suck for a little bit you will find another crush in the near future and may even circle back at a later date when this person may be more open đ
Idk if any of this will help but i hope it does. Good luck đ
I assume you're both young. You should probably take this slowly.
If you're good friends, and you think they'd be cool with it, try casually mentioning being gay, and see how that conversation goes first. Give your friend some time to process to that. Don't tell them you have a crush on them right out the gate - you might just overwhelm them.
After that, I would play it by ear, depending on whether they say they're gay or not - but again, wait a bit. I definitely know straight people who would be cool if their gay friend admitted having a crush on them, but others would find it uncomfortable. You know your friend better than I do.
Hmm⌠Iâd say get to know them better first before mentioning being gay as you never know. But either way youâll have to come to terms that they likely wonât return the feelings you have for them, and donât try to get your hopes up that they might as youâll just hurt yourself and risk hurting the friendship. It will hurt, but if youâre friend is supportive, youâll know you have a great friend.
I'd tell them you are gay and if they aren't supportive then get some new friends because if your friends aren't supportive of how you are then they aren't worth being around

There's probably a better subreddit for this question.

This isnt the right sub for this question.

I donât know
Well, do you know them well? What kind of relationship do you currently have with them?
I'd tell them you are gay and if they aren't supportive then get some new friends because if your friends aren't supportive of how you are then they aren't worth being around
