homoerotic behavior

I have a light crush on a friend but I'm not sure if it's just one sided or if there is something there.

I've had two things happen that make me think there may be more there.

First: We take lunch often together and we enjoy talking about a wide arrange of things. Basically life stuff but nothing personal or sexual. This one time we went to a usual lunch spot. Lucked out and got a booth together but it was a tight fit. The cushion seats were not right on top of each other but very close.

While waiting for the food our legs occasionally touched. Nothing long pressing but it did make me a bit nervous. After we ate though both of my legs got right inl with his. I semi moved but also was waiting for him to wiggle position first as my seat was pushed closer to the table and it was more difficult for me to move. He didn't move at all and we spent the rest of waiting for the check like this which was a good 15 to 20 minutes. Am I reading too much into this? Do guys not really care when they basically manspread hold hands but with their legs?

Second: His computer went blank and asked if a could figure out what happened. Went to help him out, my first thought was the computer screen cord to the computer was unplugged. But it wasn't. He was about a few inches away from me and was looking as well. Once I knew it wasn't that I looked to make sure the screen was on - I moved my hand to find the tiny button on the right side sliding to find it my friend who was close did the same thing as to help find it. He casually placed his hand on top of mine and held there for a good min. It could of been out of frustration or just an accident. It made me nervous because it wasn't my action at all. Does this happen often to straight/bi guys and they just ignore it?

Should I push further or is there a clear sign to indicate he's interested in more to look out for? Honestly I think it's wishful thinking and I'm find with keeping it as friends. He provides enough attention and is very good looking so that it's fun to fantasize about.

Long post but I'm really confused by all of this and would appreciate any feedback.

Would it be a terrible thing if you were friends who were comfortable with that kind of intimate touch, but not more than that? I like to be in close proximity to my guy friends (admittedly more so with the ones I find aesthetically pleasing). I give and get long hugs, find other reasons to initiate contact and love when they do it on their own. But I don't want to push things further.
 
Went to a concert last night with a friend I don't know super well. I've noticed he's pretty relaxed with casual touching, so I give and get long hugs and find other reasons to make contact. We were in a dense crowd and he was dancing around right in front of me, bumping his butt more than a few times into the front of my jeans.A few times I drummed out the beat on his back with my fists and stuff like that. I just like that kind of bond with another dude.

I'm more than fine with it but I'm gay and it confuses me. If I was straight I wouldn't even bother noticing it. For some reason I have this stupid ability to make straight guys curious after befriending them and getting close to them. I would much prefer to keep friendship - I guess another point would be, should I address it or leave it be? If he wanted more I would be more than willing to give a helping hand - but I'm not gonna risk my friendship for it. He seems to be sexually frustrated in my opinion.

Makes sense and I can understand treading carefully... even if his dick is telling him he wants something to happen, he might regret it later and somehow make it "Your fault". For me I don't really do much in the way of sex so I'm fine just having bro-ey moments with guys like this and feeing that bond. Not to say I might not take him up on a little handsy action but I'm fine either way.
 
At the gym day before yesterday. Older guy but maybe 50s. Hairy. Pretty hot. I was doing legs and I do a lot of weight. He was looking at me the whole time I was pushing it. I had knee wraps on. So when I was done, I took them off and rolled them up and set them aside. Five minutes later he's over there feeling of them. I went to see what was up and he was clearly a bit surprised. I said is everything ok, and he was like "yeah, just wanted to see if they were elastic or what" - they were covered in my sweat and I think there was more to it than that but who knows. He stared a lot.
 
It’s kind of a long story, but here goes. I’ve been friends with a guy for about 6 or 7 years and by now, he’s become my best friend. I’ve always considered myself straight, and so has he, since we both have dated and fucked girls.

For as long as I remember, he’s always been kinda flirty with me. There was a time in which we would mess around witg who got the bigger dick, and he once sent me a snapchat with a mark on a ruler just to prove that he got a bigger deal. That same night, we were talking over the phone and he said that he was getting fit, and without even asking, he sent me a shirtless snap of him. After a few minutes of silence, he hung up, so I guess he kinda felt uncomfortable.

Apart from that, we’ve always been kinda touchy. Our legs have made physical contact several times, we’ve wrestled (and he’s put his crotch over my face), we’ve seen each other in boxers (he once took a pic of me but then deleted it) and so more stuff. Lately he’s been joking about jerkin off together and even sucking each other’s dick. I can’t say that I’m reluctant to do it, since I am a little interested in doing it, ngl. But I feel like it would be super awkward and maybe he is just messing around. Besides, I’ve never kissed or messed around with a guy. What should I do?

Sounds like any small safe cue from you that you may be down would be enough to prompt him to make the first move, he sounds way horny for you

Just tell him that you've never been with a man but you could try jerking off with him.

I was in a similar friendship but we had seen each others cocks and been naked around each other. we slept in the same bed etc. we never jerked off or did anything sexual and that was okay. Just see where it leads to.

OK...so what you should do depends on what you WANT to do. If you want to do something (you must or you wouldn't have posted) then tell him that you are willing to see, but you gotta promise each other to stop if it gets too weird. Is your fear actually that you might like it more than you dare? It needn't get weird, if you both decided to try water skiing and din't like it, it wouldn't be weird. You are just experimenting within the bonds of friendship. One thing's certain he ain't messing with you, he trusts you.

I’m afraid he might shut me down and that we might lose our friendship. He’s such a great person to be around with, but I feel like there’s always been this hidden tension between the both of us. I feel like if I come clean about wanting to experiment something different, he might as well take a step back and stop talking to me. He jokes a lot about it, he has even sent me pictures of him grabbing his bulge, but I guess that’s as far as it will go. I’ve always wondered what it’d be like to jerk off with him while watching porn, but I guess that’s never going to happen.

Dude just pull it out one day

Tell him you’d be game to experiment but NOT if it would jeopardize the friendship. He’ll either stop joking ( which I don’t believe he is) or he will understand your boundaries. Tell him you would never do anything that could damage the friendship. Give him a signal OR tell him to stop because it’s messing with your head. Either way TALK TO HIM.

If he made one joke about it, then that's making one joke about it. If he's making a lot of jokes, then either A) He's really comfortable with you as just a friend, or B) He's more interested than he lets on and could be using jokes to try to hide it.

I agree with J. Bee - talk to him. If he is a good friend, he will respect your boundaries and quit saying and doing things that are messing with your head. If he picks up a signal that you have some interest...well, cross that bridge when you come to it. And above all, tell him how much you want to keep him as a friend. Sometimes friendships become stronger once you get past something awkward.
 
If you want it to advance to another level you could engineer a situation:

Have beers together at home so you’re both relaxed, the conversation could then turn to more interesting subjects like porn etc. If he’s not interested then you’ll soon realise this.

I’ve had straight friends who’ve become horny in this scenario.

He is probably asking the same question you are asking in another forum. Probably he is testing you too to see if you are into more things. I have had several friends over the years with whom I have jerked off, each his own, and some others have touched my dick and I have touched theirs. I would say that in my experience he is dying to try it out and has given you signals but he is as afraid as you to be too forward. I am not of the idea of being too stiff about it saying "I want to experiment with you" in this scenario. I think that is going to backfire, because if he is playing it subtle, then you are going to totally blow it by being too explicit and unnatural. I would say to take it up a notch in the hints department, up to a point where you can abbort mission if you see he feels uncomfortable. If you ask me, there is plenty evidence of two things: 1. That even if he is not actively trying to jerk off with you, he would be totally ok with that if you were to bring it up, or 2. He is as eager to do it as you but as afraid to screw it up as you, that would be why he is taking it slow. In either case, he would jerk off with you. I have had friends in both camps and it's cool to finally make the jump. One of my best friends was on the first scenario. When the opportunity arose, or better said, when I encouraged the opportunity, he was totally cool with it and ended up in us jerking off. We do it semi often.
Some other friends are on the second camp, that I see when talking about sex, they start hinting on me taking out my cock, so I oblige, and then it evolves in a jerk off session. After the fact some have told me that they always wondered how big my cock was, telling me that they were curious ro do it. Whenever they come to my house, they suggest to rub one out.
So, you might be wondering, how do I bring it up? There are some things you can try to test the waters and see how he reacts. You must be a bit bold. If he doesn't take the bait, then you can shrug it off and make like you were just horsing around. One that works for me is saying "dude, you gotta see this". You put on a porn vid that is not fetishy, just normal porn and you make comments like "dude, this vid is freaking hot. It made me rock hard the other day". You put it on and try getting hard. Once you have at least a semi you can say "dude, I am getting hard. Pretty good vid huh" and try to add a little laugh and grab your bulge and show it to him. Like "here's the evidence I am getting a boner". Then you see how he reacts. As long as he doesn't say "dude, wtf" or he looks visibly uncomfortable, then you can proceed. Try rubbing your bulge slowly, like you are enjoying the vid and look confident, like it's a natural extension of the trust between you. In my experience, at this point, most friends would start giving a rub to their bulges as well. It's like they see me do it, then they feel it's ok for them to do it as well. From there you know what to do.
Other thing that has worked for me is playing with the competitive side of a dude. I would say "dude, the other day I was rock hard. It was huge man. I bet way bigger than you". You start the typical teasing with "I bet I am bigger man, You've got nothing on me" and seeing how he reacts. Some outlining of your bulge might help. Sometimes I would toss a bet to sweeten the deal.
Another thing I tried and worked was changing in front of a friend with a semi in my boxer briefs. I made sure he noticed with a comment like "dude, look at this". You can take it from there

Hope this helps. Sorry for the lengthy response
