Ok some background- I've known by Gay BFF almost a year- i'm a straight female. He's been with many women in his past and is in an 8 yr relationship with his partner. I am attracted to him (I know-it'll never work out) and he's aware of it. He has not had sex with his partner for at least 3 months (that I know of). I suspect sometimes he might be a lit bit bi (he says he's sleep with Angelina Jolie- and Brad Pitt).

Here's where I'm confused- We've always teased back and forth and such but lately-he's became more flirty (at least if he was straight I'd call it flirty). Others have noticed this too, one even pointed out that he's acting like the little boy on the playground who'd pick on the girl he liked. Most recently he's grazed my breast while pointing out the my dress need taking up. Then in front of his partner while explaining exactly why my bra didn't find me right- he reached into my shirt and grasped my bra straps. I should not that the touching is welcomed-he is aware of that too. After that incident his partner kinda was acting like he didn't want me around. We were going to meet for lunch but his partner didn't seem happy about it- I think they may have had an argument about it- and it got cancelled.

WHat I want to know is does this seem like normal Gay BFF behavior, or does it seem like maybe there's some attraction on his part? I'm more than ok with the concensus being that "I'm reading too much into it." or "Just wishful thinking."
Thanks in Advance.

I think there could be some feelings on his part... I had a gay friend (R.I.P.) that I knew all the way back to the start of middle school where he developed a school boy crush on me and that crush never wavered even though he became open about his life style ten years later.... this good friend passed away a year ago and he still displayed his crush on me until the day he died (twenty-five years).

It is really really hard to tell without actually being around both of you to see your body language and such..

But - I think this can be very normal behavior for a gay male - not all gay males, but I have quite a few gay male friends who act like this, and i honestly think its just part of the way they are.

My BFF is gay too - and we admitted we were head over heels in love with each other after a week. BUT we both know it would never work out, so we do not pursue it. We have more of a romantic friendship - we cuddle and talk and sometimes kiss, but its all very friendly and not sexual at all. He is just the one guy i trust with my life and would do anything for, and vice versa. In fact, my one year old son is named after him!(jeremy)

I think you need to sit down and talk to him - ask him what is going on. say something like "okay, maybe I am just reading too much into this but THIS is what I see happening. What do you think of whats going on?"

I wish you the best of luck
