My male gay friend and I have been friends for quite some time and see each other lots. We also speak to each other daily. We were recently talking by text message and he told me he loved me.

This came as a huge surprise as he definitely never talks about his feelings and he's not even a touchy-feely person either. It was in context but I didn't really know what to my best friend told me he loves me gay so after an hour I said to him that I bet he tells everyone he loves them and then we both got busy with work and that was that.

Since then, we were texting again about something and I joked that he loved me now and he replied 'that's true'. I was also very ill recently and he said he'd come and look after me if I needed him to. Something very out of character for him to say. It sounds like he considers you an important person in his life and he cares about you, that's very sweet.

I wouldn't assume he means romantic love. If he was interested in a romantic way I'd expect he'd ask you on a date or make some gesture that invites a shift in your behaviour with each other and how you spend time together, rather than an 'I love you' thrown into your daily banter.

I tell many friends I love them, I'm not saying I'm in love with them. If your friend is gay not bi he obviously hasnt changed his sexuality for you. Assuming he's actually gay which we should do, then the obvious answer is no it would seem he's not romantically in love with you but platonically.

I tell my friends I love them all the time! I hope they don't think I'm in love with them. Though to be fair they also say it to me so I could be unknowingly in a lot of romantic relationships. Apart from family, he is the single most reliable long term love in my life. It would also be unusual for someone to just declare romantic love for a friend with no conversation about or hint of attraction before hand.

Well it would help if you clarified whether you were male or female in your OP. The "My male gay friend. Is your male friend a doctor by any chance? Like the gay married man to a man that sexually assaulted me…. I just love them and care a lot about them. Sorry to hear you were assaulted Blue4YOUbut no he's not a doctor.
