text: He does have a crush on you to the level that he can have a crush on a girl. You should be flattered but realize that it is not the same as a crush form a hetero boy.\n\nI don't think your friend is confused - he clearly knows that he prefers the company of men for that type of thing. and he clearly knows that what he feels for you, a crush, is not the same as the crushes or love he feels for a man.\n\nIt's as if a girlfriend of yours said she loved you. You would know what that means and the boundry of that - right?\n\nThis friend of yours will make a great friend if you choose to keep him around - he's honest. He didn't lie, he told you he was gay. He didn't have to. Flirting is not lying. \n\nYou need to move on with your feelings; become better for this experience not bitter.
