Okay, so my best friend is gay. Half the people I know think that he's gay because of the way he dresses and talks. The other half of people think that we're madly in love, including a couple of our teachers. I have to admit that I did used to have a huge crush on him, that has now come back (so yea, I do still like him) I'm considering fake dating him, for a couple of reasons... People would leave him alone about being gay, people couldnt bug us about liking eachother, and because Id love to be able to hold his hand in the hallways and all that stuff.
He doesnt seem obviously gay to me and for a while I thought he liked me. Is it possible that he's faking being gay?
Would fake dating be a good idea?
How do I bring it up?

Please Help!!
