I need help, and I honestly have no one else to turn to · 12:43am Nov 6th, 2014
(Be warned, I have spent very much time thinking this blog through, and there's no way I'll be able to write it without sounding at least slightly like a douche.)
The help I need isn't related to fanfiction, nor is it really that related to ponies. What I need is... relationship advice.
There's a person who I've been best friends with for since high school started. (That's a little over two years.) The only issue now is that... he likes me as more than a friend.
Now, this is the part where I'm going to sound like a douche, but I've always considered myself to be straight. And, quite bluntly, I kind of don't want to be gay. My reasoning being that I don't want to fuel any stereotypes. ("All bronies are gay" "All gay people are total douchebags" etc.) Plus I want to be a voice advocating for gay rights who isn't gay.
The only problem is... I think I like this guy back. Maybe a little. [Oh Celestia, I'm shaking and on the verge of tears as I write this. (The shaking might actually be shivering. It's cold in here.)] I feel like something has been drawing us together ever since we first met.
Now here's the real issue: how to approach this situation. I've never been in a relationship before, and being in one with another male is something I've never really considered before recently. I'm lost, and I feel like there's no one I can turn to... so I resolved to just ask a plethora of complete strangers for help. (Granted, there's some of you I know at least slightly, but the point remains the same.)
Oh, this is such a confusing situation. I feel like I'm already approaching this wrong. Maybe I just won't post this blog and ask for help somewhere else.

Okay, I resolved to post the blog.
Ok, it's fine to not be gay and not like him. Just tell him your not really into him, pretend you're breaking up with a girl. That'll make it feel more normal.
I really can't help you much, because I've never been in a relationship.
I think the only thing I can suggest is, talk this over with people you trust and you know won't judge you. And in the end, only you can decide if you're straight, bi, or gay. But do note that being gay does not automatically make you a sterotype for anything.

2576139 That's a little comforting. Thanks.
Just tell him you don't feel the same but you still want to be friends.

Well...
I don't know.
Maybe he'll stop if you be a little distant acting, but not so much it's rude. This is probably very complex.
Umm...
Just...
I don't know!
And if you like him...
Yay for you!
