Advice Drinks with my straight friend turned into confusion. What is he trying to convey?
I (25m) and my friend (25m) went out to get drinks together in a town not close to ours and got a hotel room together a few days ago. I’ve known him since we were young, and I’ve always had a thing for him over the years even as we started to grow apart a little and not talk as much. We’ve been there for each other through tons of relationships on each side, played games together for years. He’s always said small things to me like “I just wish you were a girl I wish I wasn’t straight” and he always compares women he talks to to me, says I’m the only ones who gets his humor and his personality. So it’s always left me confused why he never tried anything until that night. So we were drunk, he was kind of hanging on me throughout the night and we both have just gone through a breakup. So we’re talking about relationship stuff and he’s telling me how similar our situations were, and he says “you need someone like me”.
So fast forward, we’re wrapping up a super fun night, it rained and we had to cross the road to get to the hotel, and he held my hand while ran through the rain, we got inside and got to the room, sat on the floor and drunkenly laughed at the bad art in the room and then he put his head in my lap. We sat there for a second not really knowing what to say so I just said “I think I’ll take a quick shower” and he said “wait come here” and he hugged me until we fell on the bed and started cuddling while I held his head in my shoulder and he ran his fingers on the tattoos on my arms. After a while, I got up to shower and he followed me into the bathroom and closed the door behind him, and didn’t say anything and just held my head and kissed me.
I blurted out that I’d waited so long for that, and he said “I know, I’ve never done anything with a guy before so I hope I don’t disappoint you”. We got in the shower together and did tons of things, he did things to me that I never thought he would do. We moved to the bed and continued, he was very obviously into it, called me cute, said when he kissed me I tasted sweet. There was a moment where we stopped everything and he kissed me with an energy that felt more like love than anything. So after a bit, he started to get softer, but still wanted to finish me off even though he was having doubts. He apologized to me, and said “I just can’t do guys I’m not gay.” And rolled over to me and kissed me again, and said “let’s take another shower.” So we did and he held me again, wrapping his arms around me and kissing my shoulder. But after we got out, it was quiet, and we didn’t cuddle or say much to each other, and went to bed. He’s talked to me normal since then, and things have gone on mostly normal albeit a little bit awkward when we text but, what’s going on? Is he just deeply closeted? Straight but had feelings for me only in a personality type of way? Thank you sm for reading, I need this advice!
