Hmm ... I'm confused.

Ok, so here's the deal. I have a friend, who's 15. I'm 16. He's bi, I'm straight (and female). I really like him, as in like, but I doubt he likes me in that way. We do pretend to hold hands, but it's a joke. Trouble is, I wish he would go further. Much further. He sees me as just a friend , I assume, since he acts like that around most people.

There's more. Last year, he pretended to start bum-raping me, my sister and a group of friends, thinking we all thought it was a joke, which at first we did. But in the end it got annoying so we reported it and it went to the police. (When I say that, I mean the school policeman got involved.) It all stopped after that, and he was careful about talking about sexually-related stuff.

Even after all that, I still find myself falling for im. He talks openly about sexual stuff, but i's all in a jokey way.

What do I do? Let him know who I feel? Leave it? Please help !

Speak to him about why you found it a bit weird after a while, but it doesn't mean that you don't like him.

Can you try and flirt more blatantly? Or if you have a really good relationship, and don't mind risking it a bit, try telling him how you feel :smile: If you want to be with him, you have to take that risk...

Best of luck :smile:

I'd be wary if he is bisexual. At the risk of a barrage of complaining replies and neg rep, I would venture to say that it is often a front for homosexuality before people are ready to admit it to themselves and those around him- just my opinion (informed by having several bisexual friends). Also, no offence, but if you had reported me to the police for sexual harrassment I don't think I would be considering (or believing there was the prospect of) a relationship with either you, your sister or your friend. If you don't mind me asking, what were the circumstances of this incident? What did he make of it?
I'd be surprised if he had feelings for you. If you went to the police about a friend who was joking with you, then the minute you sleep with him you are prone to crying rape. Then again, he may enjoy that kind of thing. Maybe if you obviously flirt with him, slap his bum or something he might get the hint.
Sounds like a bit of an idiot to me. Bum-raping? Sounds immature too!
Do you really want a relationship who thinks it's funny to pretent to bum rape people?

Exactly...You reported this guy to the cops for sexual abuse(pretty much) and now you want a relationship with him? Bit silly in my opinion.

Sometimes fair - I also have so-called "bisexual" friends who have subsequently come all the way out of the closet. However, I'm bi but still very very firmly pro-men as well - just to let you know we are out here! :smile:
