Gossip is such a drag! And it’s confusing, too.
Quit listening to what everyone else says. If your crush told you that he’s gay, and therefore not interested in a relationship with you, [i]that’s[/i] who you listen to! Why on earth would you listen to anyone else, when this guy is being truthful with you?
Okay, I’ll tell you why. Because you’re looking for another answer. You don’t like the one you got from your crush, so you’re fishing.
You have no reason to believe this guy lied to you, so accept what he said. Enjoy your friendship, and trust that if things do change down the line, [i]he[/i] will tell you himself.
