if I had a dime for every story some mook posts on a forum.
If these scenes played out in reality, OP has got to change their MO for life in the future.
Gay forum audience consists of some parts genuine, caring well-adjusted people who sincerely want to help others and some parts voyeurs who get off on drama and these kinds of stories and some parts people who will get off on sending you down the wrong way simply for amusement. ALL will tell you they’re looking out for you or that they “stan.” --while it's out, let me just iterate that no one who uses the word “stans” in reference to you or your life most definitely does NOT operate in your best interest: you are their entertainment--
Guys who think they are straight are a waste of your time and dignity. You deserve somebody who can love you like you need to be loved. You deserve someone who can fully function as a human and partner for you.
You do not have the right to try to manipulate, maneuver, or orchestrate conditions in a person that are counter to who/what they have told you they are. The light is NOT yours to show them in regard to their sexuality, identity, etc and it is not yours to keep from them.
Ask yourself why you want to do and say the things you do and say to the people you do and say them to. What's in it for you? If your answers composed of rationalizations whereby your feelings and what you want are most important. Then you do NOT love the party involved.
Do NOT buy into all the advice for setting things up, to wait patiently, read between the lines, etc. Any advice like that comes from individuals as lost as you or are seeking entertainment.
Adults- well adjusted adults prefer to communicate clearly and openly sans subtext and code. They say what they mean and mean what they say.
Not all “friends” are intended for romance or sex. Not all romances (fun short term kind) are intended to be friends.
Sounds to me like you are in dire need of a circle of friends who aren't unknown interweb people. This circle of friends should not be where you fish for romantic entanglements.
Have some self-respect. Pursue romantic partners who are truly available to you how you need them to be. Don't lose your friends trying to get romance.
