I have a really big gay crush on my best friend, iin

I am a guy and i'm in the closet. The only person who i've told that i'm gay is this guy that i like. We met on the football team and i started to hang out with the same group of friends as him and i just got closer and closer to him, to the point where we could be laying down and touching each other non-sexually like resting our heads on each other. He would also give me rides pretty much whenever.
When the season was over i decided to tell him because he became the closest friend i have ever had. I told him that i wanted to talk about something with him and he just kinda guessed what the subject was while we were walking to class together one day. He was pretty shocked when we got to our alone time to talk and told me that he doesnt condone it but he doesnt hate me either. I knew it was going to be somewhat similar to this because he is a devote mormon. We had an hour long talk and i told him that i like him. The only thing he said was "thanks for the compliment but go look at some boobies". School the next day wasnt awkward like i thought it would because he just pretended like it never happened. I left him alone for a couple weeks until i decided to go to church with him which he invited me to. I went for a couple weeks and we would always have talks about the things that arent usually talked about on a normal basis so even after hes my best friend we became even closer. I told him that i liked him again but he really doesnt say anything about it. I also know that he isnt gay and i would never try to go anywhere with him but i just dont know, IIN?

    Sorry man - he sounds like an awesome friend who accepts you as who you are. By the sounds of it, such a friendship should remain a friendship.

    Don't push him or else you will lose a good friend.

      reading down this thread i was waiting for someone to say that lol

      but in all honesty follow what the majority of people said here, i was in a bit of the same situation and although i got a boyfriend now, i still got some feelings for my friend. but after weighing the pros and cons tho i decided that his friendship was more important than risking it. it's just something we have to deal with in this day and age.

      good luck, stay strong :)

    Yes, it's normal. However, it sounds like he really isn't interested at all. You should stop hinting him or you might just push him away. Just be his best friend. You'll find someone you love who's Gay one day, but you need to stop crushing on your bestie.

    "laying down and touching each other non-sexually like resting our heads on each other"

    If I did this with any of my friends in a non-joking way, they would probably be slightly creeped out.

    But on topic, this guy sounds pretty cool. I would just accept him as a friend. If he is adamantly straight, a relationship with him is just wishful thinking, so don't risk losing a friend over it.

    I'd agree to redliner. It's nice of him to have kept you as his close friend even after your confession that you like him and did not feel awkward about it. Treasure that. You might realize having him as a friend is far better than being more than that. Thanks for being honest!

    As the above posts said, you should probably stop. It seems he made himself clear that he is your friend, but nothing more. If you continue to push him it may potentially damage the friendship you two share.

    Cheers,

    he told you to sheath your sword, so do it.

    wait until his shield is down and when he turns his back-
    smash him over the head with a glass bottle, tear his pants off and shove your giant cucumber up in his guts.

    its a perfect plan trust me, just make sure to incinerate his body with lime and detergent in a forest afterwards.

    remember, if you can't have him no body can.
