Is it normal that i'm really annoyed by a gay friend who keeps hitting on me

So I met this guy during the summer at my freshman orientation for college. Didn't know he was gay then but he let me know a short time later. I probably would have still talked to him even if I knew he had been gay because I really just don't care about other people's sexual orientation and I think it's their own business. However, lately he's been texting me and it seems like he's trying to hit on me. He's always asking about me being straight and hinting at him being gay (and also using a lot of wink face emojis and stuff). He keeps saying that he wants to hang out because he misses me so much (wink face) and I've just gotten pretty annoyed and I don't text back. Normal or am I a shallow jerk and a bad friend?

    Well if he is gay he might not see an issue with acting friendly with another dude. It might not be that he is attracted to you but he is being your friend. However if you are bothered by such actions I think you should talk to him about it. Understand if he just acts that way or if he is trying to hit on you. If you are not comfortable with this behaviour explain this to him.

  • Just talk to him about it and set boundaries.

    Your reaction is understandable and I wouldn't call it homophobic. I'm not much of a flirt in real life because I don't always know when someone is just joking or is actually hitting on me. I'm fine flirting with gay men because I'm pretty sure their not serious but if a lesbian or a straight man I'm not interested in is flirting pretty aggressively with me I'm not going to be very comfortable.

    I think you're overreacting, he's just being nice to you. But still, if you don't like it, tell him about it.

  • He's trying to fag on you and if you don't like it tell him to stop or get lost.

    Simple. Done.

    If it were me, I'd be gone.

    NO reason at all for a straight guy to be friends with a fag.

    They've different goals and they don't typically respect each other.

    I'm sick of fags hitting on me.

    Bail.

    Look...It doesn't sound like he's necessarily hitting on you...But think of it this way. It's hard for straight men and women to be friends without one or the other having feelings. It's not impossible...and the other that knows its never going to happen usually just tries to push those feelings back. It does mean that either won't flirt with the other. I'm straight....but I flirt with everyone. Well you would considering it flirting with Women and ballbusting with Men...whatever....I'm a big goof. I bust on my friend and I treat strangers like I know them from the get go.

    He's probably flirting a little bit. Just let the guy know that you're getting that feeling from him...and you just want him to know you think the world of him but that you're interested in a friendship only. Set the boundaries as one user set before...and be gentle...because its a kick in the balls or chach to have to talk had to you...be it from a man or woman.

    If he cant get it through his skull that you are not into fagotry, why do you hang out with him. Id be annoyed too. I cant just hit on girl friends who are not into me, or I would loose their friendships too.

    Atlantis is a bit blunt with his choice of wording... Also, maybe he just acts a bit too friendly, if you hang out with him and get a weird vib (ie: straddling you) just tell him you just want to be friends nothing more nothing less...

    Is there an icon for hitting a winky face over the head with a club?

    well maybe you need to clarify the boundaries, your not gay and you want to be friends

  • I have some gay friends and they will sometimes act that way jokingly. It doesn't bother me. Just take it as a joke unless he starts getting forceful and weird about it.
