I am a bisexual male and I realize this forum is primarily full of advice for how to pick up women, but after asking advice in several gay/bisexual advice forums, not a lot of people seem to understand most the seduction elements involved.

So I have a friend (male) whom I've been acquaintances with through my large family of friends for a little over a year and we've started hanging out as regular friends and one on one in the last month or so.

I've developed a romantic attraction to this guy as I have with many of my close friends in the past and am trying to decide whether to come out and ask him if he's interested the next time I see him or wait until we're closer friends and then ask.

I'm fairly certain he isn't homophobic and when telling past friends (who were straight) about my feelings for them they usually take it as a compliment and it doesn't affect the friendship. In this situation however, I haven't become really close friends with guy such that the friend zone feels locked in as it would with a chick or guy that I know is gay.

I've definitely built a significant amount of attraction but without indicating directly that I'm interested (including heterosexual kino escalation). Normally the window for closing without making a move would be coming up however I'm just wondering if the rules would work the same way if he doesn't know about my sexual orientation and has no inkling that I would be trying to pick him up.

A lot of gay/bisexual dating websites suggest increasing signs of interest or bringing up the subject in conversation through asking about past experiences with women, but past experience (in telling friends who turned out to be straight) has told me that being honest about my feelings as soon as possible is best (especially if he is straight).

That also leaves the question of trying to close like one would with a girl or just finding out which team he plays for first? Thanks for reading and I appreciate any advice boys.

Is the guy you want to game atleast bisexual? If no there's no point.
If yes then all the rules of psychology count.

Thanks. You are absolutely correct. I don't know why I needed to see someone else say it...
