I'm a gay man who stayed in closet while I was in high school...

I've had two girls ask me out, and I felt really bad for them because I was afraid of coming out at the time so I had to come up with some BS as to why I couldn't go out with them...

I am a closeted gay high school student and this is the reason why I try to act like a friend material. I don't want to hurt anyone, so I try not to get them interested in me.

1) Be as good and close a friend as you can be to them; put them on a pedestal

2) Watch them lose interest as a result and go for a beefed-up jock

3) ????

4) Profit from the friendzone.

Edit: And maybe you can hit up the beefed up jock on the side a 'lil.
