I found out my crush is gay (yay!) but what should I do?

Just take the leap. Ask him out. I know it's really hard, but think about it. Worst case, he says no, you feel embarrassed. That'll pass. It may take a while, but you will get over it. Best case though, he says yes, and you've got yourself a boyfriend!
At the end of the day, it's up to you. Don't do anything you don't feel comfortable with. I'm just saying the reward is definitely worth the risk, at least in my opinion.

Bad idea OP. Don't ask him out straight away (pun intended)
It's best to get to know him first, become his friend first.

(anon because I'm not out)

I'm in my first year of uni and there's a guy on my course I've been noticing since the beginning. He's rly fit but I only had a little crush on him and just let it be

Then we got put in the same tutorial. Now I see him every week, hear how he speaks in the tutorial, how he speaks to his friends. He's kind, smart, funny, etc

tldr: I now have a huuuuge crush

Last week we discussed societal expectations and he said, in front of the whole class, that he likes boys. I nearly fell off my chair! The rest of the day (or the week, tbf) all I could think was omgomgomgomgomg hes gay

... but I'm useless.

No one knows I'm gay so I've never done anything with anyone, not been on a date, not kissed,,, even tho I'm almost 19

He always sits with his friends, I sit with mine. I'm rly shy as well and I'll defo embarrass myself if I talk to him. So what should I do? I want to just ignore this but I like him a lot and I don't want to be single forever either

Hey man, feel free to drop me a pm and we can talk about this! One of my friends was in exactly the same situation!

How did things work out for your friend?

That's what I'm thinking, but how do I do that?

Have you ever actually spoken to him? Maybe just try to make eye contact in tutorial and see if/how he reacts. Did other people in the group seem surprised when he said he liked boys or is it generally known among his friends?

Brilliant advice!

Can you add him on social media? As you’re in the same tutorial group it wouldn’t be a weird thing to do...

Maybe try to catch his eye and not look away immediately or smile a little as you look away. Maybe if you’re going into class at the same time say hi. At least if you do ever find yourself in a position to speak you have the tutorial stuff in common - even if it’s just to say ‘god that went on, I could do with a coffee...’ 😉😉😉

Your best bet is to sort of slowly make moves towards his group and generally get to know them all. And hopefully everyone will end up on eachother’s social media and maybe you’ll end up friends and meeting up more often... one thing leads to another? Fingers crossed.

Also this thread is very cute and exciting

I thought the issue was that you were a girl, and he was a guy... and he was gay. LOL
Mate, if he's gay and you're gay you're well in luck there.
Most guys aren't gay so you have a good chance really if you go for it... if he's been looking at you it means he potentially likes you, and, anyway, the competition is clearly not too strong!

Wouldn't it be weird to add him if we've never spoken?

I'm just so scared of talking to him What if I won't be able to form a decent sentence in front of him?
