omg he's gay!!!

i think you feel upset about it because you had a crush on him.With the other friends you didn´t had a crush on so it´s easier to accept.The other fact why he didn´t approched you was probably because he knew you liked him and he didn´t want to hurt your feelings. You don´t have to confront him but you could talk to him that you don´t have problem him being gay but the problem that it´s hard for you to accept because you actually liked him.I think your crush will go away eventually but don´t stop talking.

I would bring it to his attention but dont make it sound anything but friendly... mabay joke around with him and be like.. omg! i cant beleive u let me have a crush on you knowing you were gay!!!! i so cant beleive you.. and then mabey in another conversation be like dude that really sucked cause i was forreal really liken you:(....u should have told me. you know somthing like that and then hell come out with why he didnt. or mabey he just though u knew and didnt relize u had been crushing. wichever u choose.. goodluck:)

Get hold of him, try to make him straight, because, i guess by the very fact that you were not that repulsive to his sensibilities shows that he could be changed over time, after all, I am one of those who believe homosexual traits are learnt experiences that can be unlearnt!

When I was in this situation before, the guy had actually not told me he was gay because he didn't want to hurt my feelings, already knowing I had a crush on him. So I wonder if maybe he knows or suspects your crush? I don't see why you couldn't still have a crush on him, or why stopping talking to him would help? If you consider him a real friend, what you want to do is get past this and move on, not give him up as a friend over the whole thing. Actually telling him about your crush is also a way to ask about his sexuality without seeming threatening... just say that you have had a crush on him for a long time but you heard he wasn't interested... and then see what he has to say!
