Yes.
Act like a goddamn adult.

Just don't catch feelings for him. I have a straight who I didn't think much of at first but then he got too comfortable near me and now I have a crush on him.

I never thought that I would fall for the 'falling in love with the straight guy' thing but I did. Just be careful. I'm paying for it now and it sucks.

Not OP but it happened to me once. As a freshman in high school there was a guy who I THOUGHT was flirting with me (even gave me backrubs) but I came out and he was disgusted.
Being gay fucking sucks.

I hate being gay sometimes. My body can't distinguish between broing out and flirting. It just assumes flirting.

My guy would ruffle my hair, do random acts of kindness for me, and I could see him watch me from the corner of my eyes sometimes. He treats me differently than other guys and even asked if he wanted to get lunch with me.

I just considered him as an acquaintance but I never had a guy treat me this way before. It's a nice feeling but deep down I know he's just being friendly.

>I recently made friends with someone and every time we interact, I get a slight erection.
nope, try girls
