This happened a few days ago and I felt like I needed to tell someone
My friends and I (4 total) got tickets to a movie the other day and planned to have a sleepover at my house after. I get along with all of them, but I seem to spend time with one of them the most. Let’s call him Robert.
We get to the theater and I have the seat next to Robert. For some context, the seats there are like one big recliner with an armrest as the only divider so the seats are basically connected. Robert says his seat is cramped and puts up the armrest. Eventually during the movie I realize his hand is badically on my leg.
We get back to my place and we do sleepover activities like playing games and eating food. At one point its late and the 2 other guys want to go outside but its cold so Robert and I stay in. There are 2 couches in my basement and we were both sharing one. I turn on a tv show and we just lay therewatching it with our heads meeting at rhe middle of the couch (We were both laying on our sides facing the tv).
We are both relaxing and chatting with each other when we look at something on his phone instead. Now we are sitting next to each other and I have my arm around him and our feet touching. This is where things start to get more touchy between us. We lay back down like before and I am playing with his long, blonde hair that goes down to his ear. We just talk for a bit and I continue to play with his hair until the other 2 get back.
We play another game until one of the them falls asleep. Now there is me, Robert, and another friend who only stays up a little longer with us as we walk on the treadmill and adjust the blankets and pillows on our bed. Once more its just me and Robert. He takes off his white, nike socks and hands them to me to put away for him. He rests his arms around my waist and shoulder and we watch a video and lay on the couch some more. Eventually after we stop cuddling, we get ready to sleep and lay down. I am laying straight across the couch and my head is resting on his back before we fall asleep.
I used to think I was straight but after I enjoyed cuddling with him so much I don’t think I am. It feels really good to get this off my chest. I have talked to him since but neither of us has mentioned it.

I was smiling tooo much reading this. This is so darn cute! I think he enjoyed it too otherwise he would’ve said something.
You could be straight. I think some maybe most males crave to express physical connection and it gets jumbled up with cultural garbage. The buzz you feel might not mean you’re bi or gay, but just that you felt some relief from having to perform super straight acting behavior at all times. No need to overthink. Of course there’s nothing wrong with being bi or gay – I just think there’s more diversity in being a straight guy than people like to think – which can include some types of physical affection.
finally something wholesome on my cursed reddit feed
That’s freaking awesome.
I chuckle when stories like these have extraneous details. “White, Nike socks.” That detail made the story very believable.
Who walks on the treadmill right before bed?
is this the first time you’ve ever thought you may have a thing for him?
Are you going to talk to your friend about how you feel? Keep us updated
