Let me put my response this way. You'll only get this chance once. If you don't act upon it, you may regret that fact later. However, if you do act, you may face rejection of one sort or another. Either way, it's a tough call, so you have to think this out and decide if you like him enough to take this chance. I think you said he's in the closet too, so I doubt he would out you, because you could do the same thing in return, but since he has a bf, your romantic interests may not stand much of a chance. That boils down to whether your friendship with him might be placed in jeopardy if you open up to him. Just some things to consider as you ponder this dliemma, but good luck and I hope it works out for you. .
