Is it normal for my best friend to act like that or is he gay?
I have this best friend, his name is Jovan. I'm Ryan. The both of us are BOYS. We've been friends for like 4-5 years and keep a really close bond between us. I am gay and I have a huge crush on him, He also sometimes make me think that he feels the same way especially the ways he treat me sometimes.
To start off, he presents himself as very controlling and possessive towards me. For instance, he is very particular about people touching me, both sexes. He would most of the time blame me for "stupidly allowing it". There was once we were having a group hangout, (the both of us would hangout with 1 other guy and girl). And this guy friend of ours came over and sat on my laps, with Jovan beside me. I could see from my side that he kept glaring at me, waiting for me to push him off. I didn't want to be a party pooper. It was then this guy started to rock on my laps and pretending to moan. Jovan quickly pinched my side, making me jump and eventually throwing him off. He became very bitter against that guy and after the dinner. He pulled me aside to talk to me privately. He stated clearly that he hate it when I have skin ship with others. He also said that only he could touch me.
Jovan was very touchy all along towards me. Like rubbing my inner thighs and resting his hand on my pelvis area. He likes to and will hold my hand and entwine our fingers together when we go for movies or in public when he has the chance, but will always pull away once it gets awkward. We have sleepovers often and he prefers sleeping on my bed which is really crammed up since it's a single bed. He don't mind sharing food with me and always makes me drink his drinks with his bitten straws. The only reasons why I feel a need to ask this question and not just assume that he likes me is because he sometimes call me gay whenever I touch him back. I hope he's not just unknowingly leading me on. I don't even want to think about it.
