Iin, i said "i love you" to my best friend and he do also to me.
I have a best friend who is very close to me. He is boy and I am also. (We're not gays)We share our likes, dislikes, our dreams, ideal girls, our problems and relationships. He is just 10 months older than me. I always treated him as my best friend and my older brother. We got very closer though we have known each other just last February 16 2013 through cellphone and we haven't seen each other yet. We trust each other, rely and "love." I said "I love you" to him but the way I feel it as I said it is like he is an older brother of mine. I treated him as my older brother since my real older brother is not close to me. We said "I love you" to each other many times but not in a gay/bi way but as REAL BROTHERS.
We don't think of engaging any sexual activities with each other since we are both straight but I'm afraid others will label us as gays or bis?
Do you think it is normal for guys to say I LOVE YOU to each other even though we're not gays?
Please be nice in giving advice or comment. We are still teenagers.
