I’m in need of some help. I have a good friend who I’ve been friends with for around 3-4 years. I’m currently a senior in high school. I have always kinda had a crush on him but never admitted it to myself. One day there was a team sleepover and we happened to be next to each other. The whole night I found that he started getting really close and laying all over me, though he could’ve been sleeping. Ever since then, I admitted to myself that I was in love with him. My question: is he bisexual, meaning do I have a chance? Here’s my observations, which hopefully aren’t false because of my attraction. I’ve noticed that he looks at me more than most people, going so far as to look at me when addressing a crowd. He tends to get a little close to me on occasion, and can do this with other men too. He seems to really value my opinion, but can be forgetful when (IE) it comes to texting me. He seems to be fairly honest with me and can open up with me. He also kind of seeks my attention at times if I’m not paying attention to him. BUT, on the other hand.....he had a brief crush on a girl, that wasn’t much more than texting for a few months. He mentioned little of this to me, and the girl wasn’t interested. I also heard of a scenario with him and someone (also text-only) that was mutual but didn’t go anywhere. This was several years ago. He never texts me and tends to be forgetful with some of my information...but other times no. And he has never once admitted to being attracted to me. so what do y’all think? Am I over analyzing a straight male? Or are there signs that he’s attracted to me? I have never admitted to him my feelings and I definitely don’t make it obvious. I act like a good friend, but nothing beyond that.
Realistically I don't see any evidence based on what you have written that your friend has any feelings for you. It's apparent he's a good friend and feels comfortable around you and respects you, but that doesn't necessarily translate to anything beyond platonic. On the other hand I don't see any evidence that he's not interested in you. For now it seems pretty inconclusive. Try to steer subtlely some conversation you have in the future with your friend towards some LGBT issue. See how he reacts. You might get an answer or more.
I agree with @soulpoker and remember when and if you steer the conversation in theat direction to pay attention to not only what he say, but also how he says it and how his bodylanguage is, it's often in those small details that you'll find the true answer
Maybe when he's around you physically he gets turned on? When you text him he doesn't see you so the attraction, and thus the need to respond to you, is not there.
