Awkward situation!

I'd say to tell him that you're very flattered but straight, it's probably the best way to not burn bridges, or make things awkward. Perhaps go out of your way to be nice to him...? He might feel bad about misjudging you

Follow him home and burn his house down. It might put him off a bit - oh and make sure he sees you.

Right... erm bit of an awkward one! I was at work today sitting next to a colleague. Not known each other too long as its a new job but we were both in the same training group. Whilst I'm on a call I get a note passed to me saying quite simply 'I like you'.

Now I'm a guy... & so is my colleague. Couple of weeks back I was at a friends Halloween party who also works at the same place & was also in the same training group. I thought said colleague was just being friendly but on closer evaluation of the night he was being a bit more 'huggy' with me, Now coupled alongside todays note... Well I think you get the idea. I'm not sure if he thinks I'm gay... hell until today I didn't think he was.

I'm a very accepting person. I don't mind how people live their lives wether it be religion, sexuality or social views. However I've never had to deal with this situation before & I'm unsure what to do. He's a good bloke & this won't effect my wish to be friends with him. Do I ignore it & pretend it never happened? Do I say something & risk hurting his feelings? Anything else that may be a good idea?

Be advised any negative feedback about homosexuality will be politely responded to with advice violate yourself with something rusty, sharp & infected with siphilis. I would like some informed or experienced opinions on this matter.

The Relationship Problem Thread doesn't just deal with "straight" problems, so I've answered this one in that thread, which is at the following link: ---> http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.117161?page=14#3787911
