I discovered that I identify as demisexual and I think my friend is in love with me.

I've already accepted that I can have sex no matter who it is with. I think that to have sex I need to have a good bond with that girl or boy in this case before having sex.

It took me a while to realize, they sent me links to articles about different types of labels and I realized that I identify with demisexuality.

I am straight, gay for pay and demisexual.

I told my friend about this and he thought that when I said "I'm demisexual, I discovered I prefer having sex with people I'm in a relationship with" I meant in a romantic way. He said "Are you saying we're boyfriend and girlfriend?" very excitedly. I told him that I didn't mean that, I meant a relationship in general, getting to know the person. And I could tell he felt a little bad.

I feel like he has other feelings for me, he's 2 years younger than me, I was a little afraid of doing things with him for fear that he'd fall in love and I think he fell in love with me.
