Is this a normal bromance? or something else...

I've read many is it normal stories here, especially regarding relationships and sometimes they become too long or off topic. So I'll spare you all a long story and just give you a quick run down, and a short intro.

So my Best Friend from Kindergarten going on 15+ years seems to becoming more into me.. We've always hung out, gone to movies, baseball games, spent the night at each others house, gone to parties, etc etc.

While that sounds normal, I'm slowly starting to get the vibe my buddy is secretly IN love with me. He likes to tickle me which turns into a power struggle wrestling match. On the few occasions he has found himself on top of me, you would expect him to be like alright I won, and get off me. Ha, instead he will lay on top of me for awhile, one time I recall him asking "who's your daddy!?". I flipped him over that time. I don't have a daddy! Moreover, there were times when we're kicking back and watching a movie he will lay his head on my lap unexpectedly and I think to myself, I'm not your pillow, but allowed it to happen. He says he never wants to loose contact with me, loves me, likes to hug me lot, follows me from room to room, likes to bake pastries with me, and always worried he's annoying me. Thinking back yeah he could be a headache. There was also a few X rated nights that happened between us a few years ago, but I'm not going to get into that. Oh and briefly revisiting that whole spectrum of tickling, it's often spontaneous, always trying to catch me off guard. Like every time I'm with him. Not trying to end up punching him in the nose, but this is beginning to get annoying.

Not sure he's gay, possibly bisexual, or still discovering himself. He has had previous girl friends and is still a virgin. I just don't want to lead him on and end up crushing him....like an ant you see running across your kitchen floor.

  • I don't think this is a bromance, more like attempted romance.

    Well, it couldn't have been that x-rated if your friend is still a virgin. Damn, that must have been some really good oral sex if he's in love with you. But then again you did say he's a virgin.

    Reassure him that you're still his friend then firmly explain that you are totally not gay and that there will be no more experimenting again, ever.

    I'll just give an update, he evaded the question but did admit he likes being tickled? I think we left the realm of homosexuality and entered the world of a phyco person who uses tickling as a mild form of torture to get their fix.

    Yep, he's definitely ready for your "bromance" to lose its 'b'...

    "likes to bake pastries with me"

    well that pretty much summed it up for me OP.

    But it does sound like a great friendship. But if you don't like being touched or tickled, tell him. A good decent friend will understand.

    Sounds like he has a crush on you.
    Why not giving it a try?

    As a love doctor in many fields I have to say... Just ask him how he feels about you. If he turns out to love you just tell him how you feel and than just be friends :D.

    I think he's into you, man. I'm gay, and I'd behave that way around a guy I like.
    As you said, better clarify it with him so he doesn't get hurt. And support him as a friend. Being gay is rough.

    It is so obvious the situation is Gay, I don't even know why you asked if it was, I think you already knew it was gay, you just needed some advice on what to do about it. Confront the situation. The person to confront isn't just your friend either, you are just as guilty as he is, so maybe you need to ask yourself the same question you asked about him... Are you gay??

    So much for sparing us the long story .. but yeh .. He sounds to me as he definately has some very strong feelings towards you , maybe even falling for you & since you two have had some x rated gay experiences together , perhaps he is hoping for something more .. ?
