Question About A Guy And A Guy

Ok i'm in a bit of a bind and need some solid advice (that only TSR can bring! :tsr: )

I'm gay and in my second year of college and there is a guy in my maths class (yes i do A level maths) and he's quite nice and mysterious and we sit across from each other in class and are (from my point of view) always staring at each other (then looking away kinda thing).

So i wrote him a letter (cause i have no confidence lol) saying i like him - but should i (on monday) give him the letter?

Help! :confused:

oh god....just like that?? you can't just go up to him and give him the letter...imagine if he doesn't like you :redface:
Does everybody know you're gay coz he could spill out the beans and tell everyone. Are you ready for that? Is your school quite open minded?
Have you spoken to him or is it just eye contact?
Does he show any signs of liking you?
Is he gay as well?

Give him a letter? Reminds me of the movie "can't hardly wait."

I wouldn't give him a letter. Don't put stuff on paper!

Why not just try talking to him? If you're openly gay then it should be all cool.

There's a few gay guys I know and some of them have got together, cos everyone knows they're gay it's easier I think. A couple of them have asked me to find them fit guys cos they don't know many that are gay, so you could always speak to a friend.

Bloody hell.
It's your choice, but it's a bit... forward, he'll probably feel like he's been imposed upon.

dammit be careful. maybe he knows u r gay and is just trying to seduce you so he can say to his gf, and m8s lok this gay is coming onto me!

say do u wana come 4 a drink?and if he says yes, take it fro m there. if he says sorry mate ponce im not gay, just say 'hey its just me and ma m8s and he'll look like a moron. dont give the letter!!

Doesn't strike me as a particularly good idea, especially if you've all done is exchange ambiguous glances. Perhaps you'd be better befriending him, then seeing where it goes from there. Even if he does like you, there's always the danger of coming on a little too strong and scaring him off.

God no, you don't know anything about him, whether he's gay or not, you're judging this whole thing on supposed looks across the classroom? If you don't know him you don't know if he would spread it and be nasty about it. Just go to a gay bar m8 :biggrin:

Thank you advice noted - i won't proceed lol :biggrin:

Definitely not a good idea to give the letter :biggrin:

Does he/everyone know you're gay? Is he gay?

That would be a good place to start :p:

Been there, done that.
Admittely in my case it was a drunken beach party on a school trip to the Uni of Swansea.
I know its Monday evening, so probably too late, but never do it in writing...

Yeah, to echo the others, try and befriend him though, or get to know some of his mates, and they might mention any useful stuff.
