is he gay and closeted? or just straight???

[gerard16]

ok, so this guy has been flirting with me for some time now, but it didnt occur to me that it was flirting until recently! some examples would be:
-play kicking my A*s
-stroked my hair as he walked past
-ran after me calling my name to catch up as i left a shop thinking he and the others had gone ahead
-my other friends say they think he's gay
-he spent a lot of time with me yesterday, more than usual!
-when we stood beside each other he would let our arms touch
-we wer sitting at a table with our friends and he sat beside me shaking his knee so it brushed against mine
-our eyes would meet and he would smile at me instead of looking away

these are just a few examples..so i have sorta gathered he is gay but closeted, and he may like me! he knows im gay, but the thing is..i am beginning to fall for him..like big style!! :O
and in a way i dont wana bcus i always go for the straight guys..:( whats your opinions??
as it dus seem flirty, should i approach him or leave it?

its not that i "go" for straight guys, i meant to say i fall for straight guys not reli knowing theyre str8..if that makes sense!

I'd approach him and talk to him if I were you. By the sounds of it to me, it definitely sounds like flirting.
And whats the worst that could happen?

Best of luck gerard! You obviously like HIM, so let's hope he feels the same way about you - x

Just a thought though IAP...you`re a gay man of yesteryear?

Was it different back in your days as to how it is now, what I mean by that is that most gay men nowadays seem to be "over the top" with the campness of it all,

Was it like that back in your days or is it becuase being gay is a more accepted now?

I`m not homophobic but why do some gays overdo it?

[Ice.Maiden]

Elvis hun - I don't think it's an appropriate question. You migjht as well ask why some men wear blue ties and others don't. I have several gay friends. Some are "camp", and some are "straight-looking". I just think people are people. You get outrageous hetrosexuals, and outrageous homosexuals. Doesn't really matter, does it? x

[ELVIS68]

Oops ....sorry Icey,

I`ll get me coat

[Ice.Maiden]

Awww...come back Elvis. No - it just seemed out of place to ask IaP in the way you did. Look at Quentin Crisp!

I think it's a lot easier for gay men today, because people are more tolerant of what they perhaps saw as some kind of "abnormality" in years gone by. it must've been terrible for people who had to hide their feelings and what they were.
Anyway - come on over to the other thread if you're not there already - x

[ELVIS68]

"Come on over to the other thread"....lol, Did you think I was sitting on this thread ?

How very dare you!

[Ice.Maiden]

Oh - have i put my foot in it again???? Forgive me sir! xx

[ELVIS68]

Not at all Icey, and I apologise to IAP if he found my question offensive, though he`s a sound bloke and I doubt he did

[Ice.Maiden]

No - he's lovely. i'm sure he understands how you meant it. x

[Thunderchild]

erm are you sure he is gay ? you say his friends say he is gay is this serious ? in any case if you like each other great !
