Thanks for your comment. I want to say i’m definitely not taking any offense to this as I’m looking for advice and perspective, but are you saying i’m projecting and my friend isn’t into me? That’s how I took in what you wrote

so your opinion is that the reason he’s staying away is because he’s attracted to me?

he has religion deeply instilled in him so that’s probably where this shit is coming from. But what does him being gay have to do with being my friend? I literally told him it’s okay that he does what he does as long as it’s safe and that I don’t see him any differently.
