Mixed Conclusions

I'm comfortable with people being attracted to me. Well, not when
I'm not attracted to them, and even when we're mutually attracted
to each other my confusion about my sexuality and my other hang-ups
pretty much doom the relationship before it begins (which it
doesn't) but still, I can say that when someone is attracted to me
I generally know what to do about. I avoid them, and when they
track me down to tell me they like me, I say that I don't like them
in that way and then we both sort of pretend it never happened and
get on with out lives.

But what do you do when someone is attracted to you but refuses to
admit it?

That sentence looks confusing, so I'll attempt to explain. My
friend is attracted to me, but he maintains he is not gay, ergo he
cannot be attracted to me. Everyone around is pretty much convinced
he is at least bisexual (which I don't have a problem with, having
been raised in a very open household and probably actively
encouraged to be homosexual) but he remains in denial about himself.

I can sympathize with this completely, because I'm not open or okay
with my sexuality at all yet, and I can't seen a near future when I
will be. That being said, I don't put people around me in the
situation of having to deal with my advances under my constant
statements that they aren't advances at all. I don't go up to other
guys and start touching them all the while maintaining that it's
all a joke.

Do you get where I am going with this? it's sinister because I
can't tell him to stop, or at least be honest with what he is doing
with calling him out on being attracted to men.

It's a very annoying position to be in, and I'm not sure how to
solve it.
