so i, 22m, went on a sleepover with a guy, let’s call him issac, 19m, and some of our other friends.

now, when we finally went to bed after playing video games, and i was starting to get tired, we decided to go to our rooms.

Issac said “gb19 will sleep on the inflatable mattress of my room, you two sleep in the guest room.”

i got on the mattress and was falling asleep, but felt issac staring at me. the next time he did it, he leaned in closer.

“Are you asleep yet?” He asked.

I said “no. What are you doing?”

“I want to make sure you’re at home in my house.”

I lay down again. when i woke up at 3am, i felt something brush against my face. i reached for my phone on the floor, using the light to see what it was. what i was holding appeared to be a small square paper thing.

it was a picture of issac. On the back it said, “I’ll always be here for you. XOXO Issac.”

Is this some big prank? What do I do? I’m scared as hell.

Either it's a prank or somebody has a crush on you and is not out of the closet yet.

Are you into it? Make sure it's not a prank, then go for it. If not, assume it's like a woman you don't like is interested. Have a short talk about it, make sure he understands you are not interested and be direct but not cruel about it. Don't out him, be respectful about his feelings. Adults do that all the time. The first time is just a little scary, but you will learn to handle that with routine soon.

There's some great advice in this, I'm really glad you've posted! Only thing I'd say is that an lgbt person whose in the closet/denial can get really hostile to someone that knows they're gay. Any sexual health nurse etc has had this situation. He could cause issues.

OP could try running it as a prank? Basically "haha you're so funny joking like that when you know I'm straight. Comic genius!" That keeps him safe

Yeah maybe. I would decide depending on what kind of person he is dealing with. It's one way to be respectful about it.

he was joking, he’s known for trolling people
