How to Know if Your Guy Friend is Gay

I was wondering if Matt could be gay. Is there some way to tell?

What makes you think that Matt could be gay? Do you have feelings for him?

Well to be honest, I might like him.

I can see why you would be concerned. Have you just asked him outright whether he is?

No, I think that would be rather awkward. Especially if he is not gay. I don't want him to be offended by me thinking he was.

I think one thing you could do is to invite him out with some friends, and see how comfortable he is around women.

He loves women, but maybe not in that special way.

You may also want to mention at some point, that you have girlfriends who have gay best friends, and that they are lucky.

You could also say that they really enjoy having gay friends that they can discuss women's interests with.

Ok, I see, I could kind of get his reaction to that.

You could also ask him things like, who does he think will win the Superbowl, or questions that relate to sports.

Most gay guys are not going to be into sports, or are not going to talk about them in a typically male way.
You could also invite him to a chick flick and see if he seems open and sensitive.

Yes, most straight males are allergic to chick flicks I have noticed. They usually only go if their girlfriends insist on it.

Yes, most guys only like action movies, or something like Star Wars, Westerns or other science fiction movies.

Has he ever had a girlfriend?

I don't think so. This is part of the reason I think he may be gay. He is really cute too.

That seems to always be the way! I feel for you sister!
