Hey everyone,
I've been a member for a while, but this is my first real post.
For some brief background, I would describe my sexuality as ambiguous, but the best way to describe it would be bisexual. I've been attracted to men for a while, but recently been more comfortable with myself and have discussed my bisexuality with some friends. My sexual experiences have been few, with women and one man, has not included full intercourse, and has usually been when I'm drunk. I've had a few girlfriends, no boyfriends, and have been single for a few years.
As the title point out, I have a weird situation with a straight friend. We've know each other all through college and lived together for the better part of two years. We currently live in a shared house with other roommates, each with our separate rooms. Half of my house knows I'm bisexual, and the other half I told when we were all really drunk (I was in an out of black-outs, and they were probably around the same level), and I don't remember if they know or not, but we've never discussed it.
My straight friend, let's call him Jack, is one of the people that I told I was bisexual when I was drunk, and I don't know if he remembers or not. He's a naturally attractive person, both physically and on a chemistry level. He is naturally flirtatious and acts in a suggestive way to people he's comfortable with, but sometimes it seems like he is flirty with me in particular.
I don't necessarily want things to happen with him, because I'm concerned that it would make our friendship really awkward, especially since we live together, and he retreats in awkward situations, whereas I just deal with them more directly. My problem is that he tends to walk around the house in just his boxers and gets naked a lot when he's drunk, which is quite titillating, but also frustrating having that around all of the time, but not wanting to act on my feelings.
I've come to accept that I need to explore my sexuality more with both men and women, he's just not the right person to try it with, and I'm concerned that I may have fallen for him, which has never happened with a guy before.
Anyways, I'm primarily writing this to think through my situation, but any advice or experiences from similar situations would be great. From what I've seen so far, the member here have a good perspective as well as a sense of humor.
