This may or not be of use to you, but I liked a guy my freshman year of high school and we were best friends through our last years of high school; we are still close today. Our sophomore year, I finally got up the courage and the "fluff" to go tell him I liked him. Sadly, just as I went to do that, he handed me a note with a sad look on his face and walked away. As I read this note, he apologized to me for all through middle school when he had made fun of me (before he got to know me) and how he loved me as a sister and how he really hoped we could stay friends. In this note he also told me that he claimed homosexuality and had a partner. He said that he knew I was a Christian and was against homosexuality, and he knew that I would be hurt, but he said that he hoped I would not condemn him yet not condone it. I was deeply hurt that one of my friends would stray in that manner, but also that it was on the very day that I was finally going to tell him I liked him. I lost sleep for about a week, until God showed me that it was another need to pray for - I still had to show him the love of Christ in the best way I was able; I could not condone what he was doing but it was not my place to condemn him for it. We do not talk often, but when we do they are deep conversations and he is slowly turning himself around to Christ - praise the Lord. Again, not sure if that is any help or not, but thought I might share just in case.
