Okay, so I have a straight best friend of mine I've known for about 3 years. We are both in our mid-late 20s and both very straight acting average guys. We hang out around 5 days a week and have becoming closer and closer lately. We are becoming more open with each other. I've liked him for a while and have started to have feelings for him. The issue with me is I am not out as being bisexual to anyone and would find it weird currently because of our circle of friends and other factors.
But for a while when we didn't hang out daily we would be in contact in some form throughout the day, chatting, phone, or whatever. It seemed on each side that we sought to have the other's attention or company. I don't know if this was innocent close friendship or hints of potential for something more. Now that we hang out almost daily we don't IM as much I guess since of course we keep in contact in person I assume.
Now previously I have had a few friends that I have caught feelings for, maybe just 1 or 2, but I've ignored them as most of my friends are really straight and even if I thought they had curiousity I didn't want to be the guy to make that risk. Now I'm thinking I may actually have a good chance to actually take a chance with this friend. I'm trying to be very level-headed and realistic as well as patient about this.
Our friends and coworkers constantly make jokes about how we are bffs, so close, gay together, bromance buddies, in love, etc. They wouldn't expect that I do actually have those thoughts in mind haha.
I have had a few examples for why I think he may be open given the right comfort, situation, and atleast some alcohol so he doesn't hold back as much if he is indeed interested. To just inquire I mentioned giving him a handjob, at first jokingly, then I've mentioned twice more times. I brought this up after drinking atleast some beers. The first time I mentioned it he didn't say anything and I mentioned it again to prompt a response and he said something like 'no thanks' as kind of a response I would expect. Another time I was massaging his stomach and arms and he declined similarly when I mentioned it. He still allowed me to be really close to him and just rub his body some. We have also talked about gay and bisexuals and he stated how he has no problem with it and doesn't care.
After that time I thought okay well he said no again so I should leave it be. But when I think about it, he has no idea if I am serious and doing something like that with a close friend can feel weird at first. He also did not seem repulsed and refuse in a 'freaked out' kind of way. We also continue to hang out the same, and now whenever I want to get touchy and close, he has no problem with it. Now it seems like I am getting closer and he is totally fine with it unlike before. Previously, he wouldn't me rub his shoulder, play with his feet, and other things that were a little too 'feely.' Now I can touch his feet, even caress his pecks and he doesn't say anything.
So since he hasn't had a gf in about 3 years, about like myself, and I know he gets horny to the point where he will even sleep with women let's say he shouldn't be getting with..I wonder if he would be open to doing anything simple as a handjob, maybe even bj from a guy friend. I'm pretty sure I want to try atleast to give it a shot to see how it goes, though I know some may say to avoid that, but I believe if he agrees or even declines it wouldn't kill our friendship. I'm wondering you guys' thoughts on this and the best way to proceed to getting to do something sexual and let him know that I would just like to experiment with him? If he clearly and without a doubt shows he's not interested, I'll be dissappointed by I would like that. I just don't want him to decline because of shyness or because he thinks I'm just messing with him or something like that.
