I lost a friend because im gay 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
So i came out to a few friends in 7th grade. but i only choose the girls so i wouldnt lose any guy friends. but of course girls have to gossip and the word got out. my guy friends just stopped talking to me. i wasnt too close to any of them except one. so i call his cell and house multiple times to see if he wanted to hang out. no answer. so i just left a voicemail and waited. still no response. so every once in a while i would try to reach him but none of the attempts were successful. i wouldve confronted him in school, but it wouldve been too awkward. How can I confront him? And is two years too long to still hope? i mean he was really nice and sweet. but will we ever be friends again? and one more thing: what if i liked him a little too much?. would it be a bad idea to confront him? i mean im willing to accept that hes straight. so cant we just be friends? but what if i cant help myself? im so confused. i really want to be friends with him. i just miss him so much

Re:I lost a friend because im gay 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Hmm.... well coming out always seems to pose that problem.... some people just aren't going to understand.

Middle school itself is a crazy time. When you go into middle school, you have completely different friends than you will when you leave high school.... I'm not sure why, but you do. I think when you get out of middle school, you're exposed a more accepting environment of everything.... less drama, gossip, and all that good stuff.

All I can really say..... there's a good chance that you would have grown distant anyways. It sousnd like he wasn't always going to be there..... even if you didn't come out, he may have found something else. Give it time, things might change.

If he was as good of friends with you as you were with him, it will get better. Just give him space. If things don't work out, there are plent of people who will be there for you, so you can't dwell over this for now.

I hope that helped....

Hmm... I don't really know what I could say to help - If it was me... I would try to suck up my pride and force a conversation to him.

And take it from there. It may be a little late to have enough hope - but i mean... sometimes a little can go a long way.

But if you think about it- what could go wrong? I mean - if you think he won't talk to you anymore, than trying to talk to him won't make you lose anything.

Of course it can be humiliating - but we all go through something of the sort - I'd say to talk to em. But you know, act like you may as if he was - an aquaintance at first. Before you go back to the whole friend - friend feeling.

This what I think - and It's just what I feel would be right, but I can't garuntee a success.

You just need to casually start talking to him if you can. Nothing sudden, but kinda slowly.

Re:I lost a friend because im gay 8 Months ago  
Ditch him... he obviously thinks hes too good for you. Its always ahrd when you lose a friend but... and this is gunna sound really pesimistic... life is a succession of making new friends and loosing old ones, only the ones who make a large inpact upon our life will stay with us... sad but true. I wudnt go near him personally, in time, when hes got over him self he might come back... or he might not. All i wud say is that two years is a very long time not to be talking to some one and it is very likely that both you and him a very different people,

Well, if your completely out, you don't really have anything to lose by forcing a conversation. You can always force a private conversation. Ask one of your friends to get him away from his group of friends so you can talk. I guess the only question I would think of asking once I have that situation would be "Why won't you talk to me?"

don't bother with him, if he don't care about you, hes not worth it.

move on, you can get better, more understanding friends

Re:I lost a friend because im gay 8 Months ago  
well mate, i had the same problem when i came out.

if you 'like him too much?' then its really not best to confront him if this is how he acted to you coming out.

and like many others have said before me, 'ditch him'. You don't need this. Move on.

Remember, we live on and we love on.

good luck
