I need advice with a friend!?

ok so first of all, I'm 16 and am a junior in high school (11th grade), and I have a friend who we've been friends since elementary school. He's a boy by the way. Anyways I have just noticed he does not hang out with any girls. He's also a junior and is 16 (maybe 17). He doesn't even have one friend who is a girl and hangs out with all guys. I also noticed he never tries new things such as the school musical, the school play, or school events such as homecoming. When I asked him to go to cinderella he said, no and acted immature saying he can't watch sexual content (which I'm pretty sure he's making up). Also with the spring play, he saids he hates plays, when in doubt I doubt he has ever even been to a school play or a school musical. I recently have gotten interested in my two favorite book series Harry Potter and Twilight. When I told him about Twilight and said he should read it all he saids is "twilight is gay!". and when I told him about Harry Potter he saids he tried the 1st book and didn't like it. When i asked him how far did he get before he stopped the book, he said he didn't even get past the first chapter. In 7th grade and in freshman year he would never answer me when i asked him does he like girls. Recently (like last month) I asked him again does he like girls and he actually said yes, and told that he never answered that question in 7th grade and he said "well that was 7th grade" and said also he wouldn't answer that question in 9th grade and he got all upset and said "does it really matter?" In 7th grade he was very immature and always teased me about if I'm gay. He never seems to notice girls at all, not even one, he could be in a Victoria's secret fashion show and he probaly wouldn't even notice one girl.I am beginning to suspect that he might be gay or bisexual. If he is, I still will accept him as my friend. I could be wrong, and maybe he is just very late maturing when it comes to some things, I am one of the latest maturing people in my grade and I have started to notice some girls and will glance at one if an attractive one walks by, though I am one of the youngest people in my grade so that may be why I mature later than everyone else. He's in the middle I think for how old he is in his grade. I think he has a birthday around spring or summer. I know this is none of my business and don't want to ask him if he is gay. He might be and may just be realizing it recently. When I look at him, he gives me a smile more than just a friend smile, like a girl would if she thinks you like her, or if she likes you.

Also I play an online game Runescape, and he plays it too. Sometimes we have flirting contests where we flirt with some players in Runescape. My charactor is a girl in Runescape by the way but again I am straight and like girls. Whenever we do have the flirting contests, I flirt with some gusy for fun but he never flirts with any girls on runescape except my charactor.

He does seem a bit immature even In our lunch table.



please no rude comments!

ok so in conclusion here are my questions

Is there anyway to get him interested in some new stuff? (like Harry Potter or the musical)

Is there a way to tell if he likes girls?

What should I do to maintain our friendship?

Is there a way to tell if he's gay? (I'm asking this because if he is, I'll know how to treat him better and what subjects to talk and not to talk about)I need advice with a friend!?
Hey Alex,



Your friend may have interest in other hobbies. It does not necessarily means he is gay or bi! You can introduce him to things you may find interesting but try not to expect him to like the same things you are into. You need to ask yourself, what is the importance of knowing his sexual preference? If he is would it matter? and you already mention if he were to be gay it wouldn't affect your friendship. Continue to hang out with him and if you both are really cool and honest with each other then you might get to know him a lot better then what you know now. I am not gay, but I am sure Gay people are just as normal as everyone else and in conversation. So you shouldn't have to worry about what is right and wrong when talking with a friend who might be Gay. As long as you do not use terms that may be offensive. Overall, you would never know until he says something. Therefore if you enjoy your friendship with him continue to be friends and try not to focus to much on what his sexual preference is.I need advice with a friend!?
Invite him to your house to play runescape or something and then take off your shirt. If he starts to stair at your breasts, then he isn't gay.I need advice with a friend!?
I think he is a religious person and thats why he dont want to move around girls.

Does he likes sports? if he likes then you better get on with his ways, even i dont like plays and books but i am not a nerd lol.

If he doesnt likes girls that means he doesnt want to be around with girls maybe because they are the opposite sex and maybe shy. I think you must force him to move with other girls if he wishes then he must do it by himself.

The best way to develop a friendship is to agree with them.

I dont know how to answer your last question i am sorry



I hope this helps
