My best friend recently told me that he was b,i but not in the way he would have a boyfriend. I myself am bi and when we were teenagers (now 22) we messed around for a few years secretly until he stopped it, saying he wasn’t gay.

I had strong feelings for him that took a long time to go away, so him recently coming out bi kind of broke my heart a little. I’m wondering how I can slowly approach him and see if he would be interested in trying a relationship with me, but he’s a very anxious person and despite coming out to me I know he hasn’t told anyone else. I really like him and we’re best friends, but I don t want to try anything if it would ruin the friendship we have. I just haven’t been able to stop thinking about what could be.

Please help 🙂
