Indie...sexuality, in my belief, is on a continuum. It is very possible that your friend is confused, but if I remember correctly, you and your friends are fairly young adults. Life is about learning about yourself and growing into your own values and morals and lifestyles.
Sometimes being confused is okay. Sometimes being confused is the most inspiring state to be in. You have an opportunity to explore the world and you are not held down by anyone else's lifestyles or beliefs.
Maybe he is bi, maybe he is not. Sometimes you have to walk down a road and experience things for yourself to see if it's right for you and sometimes you don't. This is your friends time to walk his road. If he realizes it's not who he is, he will make another road and find his own path.
I encourage you to be patient with your feelings. You're not a hypocrite just because you think he might not be bi. You're entitled to your thoughts and beliefs, and you may be right. But ultimately, your friend is the one who has to learn this from his own experiences.
The best thing you can do is be patient with him while he explores who he is. Be there for him to listen when he needs someone, offer him open minded guidance. You know that you are an open minded person, and I'm sure you would care for this person regardless of his sexual orientation. I think sometimes it's just hard to watch someone we care about go down a new road. We worry about them, that they will be hurt, or get lost. But with a tolerant and good friend like you, regardless of what roads he walks down, I don't think he would ever get lost with you by his side.
