Funny thing, fear. I have gotten into more situations than I'd like where I've had to defend myself physically, but I was never afraid of anyone then. But now, the scariest thing in thing in the world is a single, two word sentence. That sentence is 'I'm gay.". I've only been able to actually come out to one of my friends, and he was totally cool with it. Two more of my close friends know I'm gay because they figured it out. (in hindsight, I could have been a little more subtle. I wear ARM WARMERS for f*ck's sake.) Anyways, as dark as the closet is, it's safe. I really want to tell my BFF (at least he's my BFF, I'm not necessarily his =P) that I like him, but I know he's straight and I really don't wanna risk losing him.

TL;DR: I like one of my same-gendered friends, who is straight. Wat do?
