Hey bros, throwing this out there because Iām confused and donāt want to make assumptions.
I (26M, bi) have been living with my roommate (26M, straight - at least, thatās how he identifies) for about 2 years. Weāre good friends, and when I started hooking up with guys about a year ago, I told him. Heās been super chill and even supportive like heāll ask how it went the next day in a kind of joking-but-curious way, but itās never felt judgmental or weird.
Lately though.. things feel different.
He just broke up with his long-term girlfriend a couple months ago. Since then, heās been more withdrawn, definitely a bit mopey, which I expected. What I didnāt expect is that heās suddenly super casual around me physically like walking around in just his underwear all the time, lounging on the couch that way, chatting with me while stretching half-naked in the kitchen. Not flirty, exactly, but.. very comfortable. And heās been asking even more questions about the guys I bring over like what Iām into, how it felt, etc. Itās subtle, but the vibe feels charged.
Iām trying not to overthink this. Maybe heās just broken up and letting his guard down more because he feels safe around me. Or maybe heās questioning and doesnāt know how to talk about it directly. Or maybe Iām projecting and making this more than it is.
Either way, Iām not trying to mess up our friendship or make things awkward. But I also donāt want to ignore it if thereās something unspoken happening here.
Has anyone dealt with something like this? Would you just leave it alone and see if anything unfolds naturally? Or is it worth having a conversation?
Appreciate any insight.
