Is he really straight?

[Jasonk16]

I met this guy about a week ago cause he's living with my cousin and we've become pretty good friends. He's been kinda hinting that he may be bi...or bi curious. To me at least...

I don't wanna come out and ask because I don't wanna ruin our friendship if I'm wrong.

My reasons for thinking he may be are...

1. A day or two after we started hanging out he was supposedly jokingly rubbing my arm + touching my hair and commenting how soft it is.

2. He keeps jokingly calling me a ->-bleeped-<-got. and today he tapped my butt.

3. He was talking to his sister and said hes been hanging out with me and I'm a pretty cool kid but he thinks I'm gay...again supposedly joking about it...Seems like flirting to me. Maybe I'm wrong.

4. Even though he says he wouldn't "go down" on a guy he's always "joking" about that's what I do and such.

5. He always brings up the subject of being gay. He'll randomly say something about it. For example...

I said he acts like he knows how to do everything and he said what can't I do? and I shrugged and he said I can't suck cock, I don't like that like you do...or something along those lines.

Anyone know how to test it without coming off as gay?
I know I should somehow bring into the convo that it's okay if he is bi or anything...Idk, I'm really curious.
Any ideas?

This isn't a gay message board but yah from what you say it sounds pretty gay.

I know it's not...I just trust ppl and their oppinions on here, sorry.

Of course, it's also possible he's just trying to figure out if you are.  Sorry, no real advice.  I suck at figuring out people's intentions.

It just sounds like normal teasing to me.

If one of my buddies did that I would be creeped out... haha. I would have to assume if someone did that he's not straight, as right or wrong as that may be of me to assume that based on this small piece of information. But with this and all of the other things you listed, I would just say you should ask him or hint at it more obviously when you're alone with him.

I'll go off what Kevin said, you should flirt with him a bit more, then a bit more and then again a bit more to see what's really going on.

LOL.

Depends on the tone and context, etc. does it really matter to you? Well if you're interested, why not drop some hints of your own..

Yes Jason, absolutely, he's a straight-up flamer. Pardon the expression, but I doubt it could be more obvious.

I suppose that you could ask him, but then again, everyone lies about sex, so even then you might not know, but it does sound a bit like "she doth protest too much."

Go out, just you and him, and get sh*tfaced drunk, I bet you'll find out then.
