I'm in love with my gay friend.

He makes me happy.
He makes my heart pound uncontrollably.
He instantly brightens my day and we're becoming good friends.
He randomly holds me in his arms and embraces me, and when my self-esteem isn't the greatest, he tells me I'm pretty.
To be completely honest, I really like him. I've liked him for the longest time.
But he's gay though.
I'm not asking advice as to whether I should keep on liking him or not, because either way, I'll continue to secretly like him & keep him close to my heart until I find someone new to admire.
All I'm asking is... Is it normal for me to like a gay guy? ; Especially if he's one of my friends?

It's a stupid question that may seem quite obvious (common sense), but I want advice :)

    Its totally normal! I felt the same way about my friend at High School. Funny thing is that I was planning to tell him how I felt (he was still in the closet at the moment), and he told me that he had something to tell me (I was hoping that he'd say he liked me too), so we had a classic "No you go first moment". I was adamant that he go first and he told me that he's gay. That didn't mean I stopped crushing on him immediately, but I got over it eventually. I still adore him, but not in the same way. You'll probably start moving in different circles and date other people. You'll be ok- Trust me.

    I've been there before. Had a friend from highschool I fell for hard. Didn't know he was gay all through school he even dated girls. After school however we had our summer jobs at the same store and I started liking him even more. He seemed very affectionate hugging me all the time and even a little Flirty. Then one night after work he confessed he was gay. I never told him I liked him. Pointless. He ain't suddenly going to turn straight. But its definitely easy and normal to fall for a gay guy they are just a guy sometimes a almost perfect guy who unfortunately ain't into girls. Ugh that experience was not fun. But we stayed friends and I moved on. But its hard. Im Sorry. :(

    You should ask him to show you how to properly suck a dick. Then you would be having some sex with him without him knowing that you love him. Just some service between friends. And most people are bi when drunk. Think about it.<BR><BR>Oh that reminds me of a story of my gay friend. He was sleeping in a room with another female friend. Everybody was a bit drunk and in the middle of the night we heard them fucking (making love would make it sound too nice. I was really disgusted, I still don't understand why. The guy was always saying that he hated vaginas and that he didn't understand why men found women beautiful.<BR><BR>My advice is 3 bottles of wine and protection

    Eh, I'd just see if the crush blows over, because if he's gay, you just know your answer already. :/

    I had a tiny crush on my gay friend for a while when I was in high school, but I always remembered he was gay, so the crush never went anywhere and soon died out.

    We all have our "walls" when we need it to lean on for support. I see your admiration for him is due to respect he has earned from you via a good friendship.
