What happens when your crush is gay?

Believe it or not, this has happened to me more than once! You have a crush on a guy (or maybe a girl) and you click. You think there's a little chemistry, but then something's amiss. All of a sudden your crush does not seem that into you. At least not in a romantic way. And there's a reason. He (or she) is gay!

So the other day I learned my first and probably longest running crush is gay. We first met in pre-k and were in the same classes all the way through middle school. We ran into eachother again several years later during my sophomore year of college. And boy was he still as cute as ever.

When he called even my parents seemed excited of the prospect. My mom has told me from the time we were four, his mom wanted to see us be together. Seriously.. not making that up! Anyway, at the time he had a girlfriend so I figured that's why he didn't ask me out.

So fast forward to the other day. I'm on MySpace finding some new friends for Miss Attitude and I start searching for some old friends. I'm not even quite sure what compelled me to search for him, but I did. And let me tell you, he's still cute and looks just like I remember him.

So I start to read his profile.. and wait! Under Orientation it reads Gay. So I do a double take, yes the picture is definitely him. Okay, let me make sure. Hometown, check. Age, check. Birthday, check. (Yes, I even remember when his birthday is)

So it got me thinking. If I started having crushes on boys who were gay when I was four years old, that explains why I'm still single! Has this ever happened to you?

I want to hear your story.

Stylishly yours,

Miss attitude

i met a guy that lived close to a friend of mine. he was arab, i have always though about getting married to an arab, even if i am just 19. He was very very good looking, he dressed amazingly well i was immediately attracted to him. like a normal girl, i didn't give him the attention. so after a day out with my other friends and him, he asked for my blackberry pin number. i gave it out and so then i thought he was attracted to me too. we sort of started talking and once he took me out at 4 am to the beach and we spoke for a while and he said he had just broken up with his GF, he once said he'd cook for me coz he cooks. and i thought there was something until i realized i used to be the one texting him first and he really used to take time to answer me and he just didn't seem interested all of a sudden. this is just in between 3 weeks or so. i finally reduced the way we used to talk to see if he'd chase back, but he never did and so i decided to send a broadcast message on blackberry messenger saying "if u're my friend and u're gay its very ok to tell me, i'm in need of a gay friend" and he replied, " i'm gay and proud" my aim was to get a reply from him actually,my heart melted for i have been suspecting it but just thought since he is arab and it is not permitted in his religion. did i add that he is insanely cute and i have still been hoping he tells me one day, that he was joking

I had a crush on my best friend's brother since the fourth grade and I've had a solid and loyal crush on him for four years. I honestly thought he liked me, he would always tackle me and hug me and make me watch movies with him. And then one day last year, my best friend told me he was gay. I swear my heart broke into a million pieces. But then a year later (now) he still treats me like he likes me more than a friend. He cuddles with me and always sits next to me when we watch movies, he talks to me, he's held my hand before, he's held his hand around my waist. He's even purposefully put my hand around his waist and I honestly don't know what to do or think. We can even talk to each other. He's told me things he hasn't told his sister (my best friend) and we even have inside jokes. He tells everyone about me and claims that he calls me his sister but I feel like there's more to our relationship but I could be leading myself on. I need to know what's really going on.

Yep. I recently had, and still do have a crush on this guy I met 7-ish months ago. The moment I saw him I knew that I liked the guy. He made me laugh a few times, he has these gorgeous green eyes, and argentine accent.

I thought he might of liked me too just because of the way he was. Which was alway nice to me, a considerate too. Apparently he was a lot nicer to me than the people he worked with! Plus he's stare a bit, and the way he said my name once was rather nice. He sent to many confusing signs. Summer break rolls around, and he didn't know if he was going to come back to america because there was a 'family reunion' and or 'his mother was sick' he had a bunch of excuses. But anyway he did come back.

Initially I was happy, very happy like what could go wrong? Then I'm told he's gay. And the "best" part.. he got married~ I felt nothing at first, then everything later. I cried quite more than I'd want to admit... When I saw him the first time again it was all weird, awkward laughs, and just tention in the air. He looked at me briefly, then looked away with downcast eyes, and odd expression. 'Secrets' aren't secrets for long around here at all. Especially with these women. They all hated him.

Then the school year comes back in session, and he still avoided looking at me, and when we did it was....just weird? He even would walk around another way when possible! We only talked once the whole time in a month, it was me asking if I could take this one position to which he said wasn't need because he didn't need the help. Two days later he gets this other girl to do what I asked. A few more weeks of weirdness, and he leaves the high school to work at a middle school, in the middle of the week. All the middle schools are sort of farther, and most are private too?

So now I don't have to see him anymore, but I really do miss him a lot. Nothing I could really do, and our ages are apparently farther then I though initially... I wish somethings just turned out different you know? Like throw me a bone for once?

I started school at a new college back in august. I decided to do improv, so I joined the group, where I met him. He started to talk to me, a lot. He was always looking at me, smiling when I was around, touching me (like the shoulder, or the arm), hugging me (he would wrap is arms around me and hold me really tight), etc. I slowly fell in love with him. On my point of view, he is perfect. We all have a "perfect guy" profile... Well he was that "perfect" guy. Obviously, it was too good to be true. My friend, who is really close to him, told me that he was gay. I didn't believe her at first, because him and I had talk about sex multiple times, and he told me how much he loved to have sex with girls and to kissed them. But two weeks later, multiple events confirmed my friend's confession. I was crushed, it hurt so bad! The thing is, I see him everywhere at school (it's a small college, 6,000 students) and we do improv together too... I'm seriously destroyed.
