Thread: have a huge crush on my friend and I'm not sure if he's gay or bi?

I'm 17 and I'm Bi, but leaning toward gay and I'm still in the closet.

so I saw this kid at my fencing club (and just because I'm bi/gay does not mean all fencers are gay) and I immediately thought he was incredibly hot, but I was worried he was going to be a really preppy jerk. Well, eventually I ended up talking to him at a tournament and I found out he's actually a really nice guy. So i've known him for about 6 months now and unfortunately only see him now and then.

My gaydar goes off around him, but that might just be because I would like it if he was gay. Something to note is that before we met he tended to glance over at me alot. He's never had a girlfriend, though he does have multiple pictures on his facebook of him with his arm around a girl (though I have pictures like these on my facebook, too and I'm not exactly the straightest person around). He's hot enough where I couldn't see why not he wouldn't be able to get a girlfriend. He rarely seems interested in girls except one time when he mentioned he was going to a camp with mostly girls, but he wasn't super enthusiastic about it. He's also a very...eccentric...high energy kind of person which definitely makes him come off as gay, or at least it does to me anyway.

So I guess what I'm asking is how to tell if he's gay/bi, how to get into a much deeper, personal relationship with him, how should I go about telling him I'm interested in him, and what kind of questions should I ask to help stimulate conversation between us (our conversations aren't bad but they are not as deep as I would like them to be)?

I haven't ever had much alone time with him due to his family or other friends of ours being around so that could be something that has gotten in the way of a deeper friendship forming. Just for noting, I'm not just interested in being this kids boyfriend or lover, I'm very interested in just simply being a best friend.
