It'd probably be really awkward for a little, but I'd try not to let it affect the friendship longterm.
First I would stare at him, then slowly back away a few steps, after that I would tell him
"I'm sorry, you know I don't swing that way, but I hope that we still can be friend"
"I'm sorry, you know I don't swing that way, but I hope that we still can be friend"
hmmm... well it would make a lot of sense, I mean we usually play around but nothing ever gets serious... It would explain why she is so hostile towards my bf...
but that would kinda be wierd, because even though when we are in public people think we are closet lesbians(or not even closet lesbians), I dont feel that way about her.

If finding me attractive; Flattered, depending on who it is and whether I'm in a relationship I might even date them.
If proclaiming their undieing love whilst comparing my eyes to limpid pools; Run, faster.

Well, none of my same-sex friends are into guys or my type, so I'd assume it's a joke. If they're being serious, I'd just turn them down and not make a big deal out of it. I only hang out with easy going people, so I can't imagine it being a serious issue.
As for the other way around, I've been dumb enough to do this. It was my teenage years, which isn't a proper excuse, but something of a defence. Didn't matter much, because I knew his family was moving to another country at the end of the schoolyear. So about a month before, I bought him a rose and told him I'd had a crush on him for about a year and a half. Didn't expect it to end well, but he just said "Thank you. That's very flattering" and that was the end of it. I thought that was a good response.

I had this once. Of course we were a bit (very) drunk but we discussed it later. We are still good friends and haven't mentioned it since. Why would we need to?
Has happened. Completely tore our friendship apart, and we now hate eachother so very much.ReservoirAngel said:
Essentially, I'm straight. He (I didn't know) is gay. I was staying the night at his place, we were chatting, messing around, and he blurts it out. I'm flattered, and a little creeped out. I try not to let it affect anything, and breeze on by.
2 weeks later, we barely even speak to eachother anymore. He's become this malicious ball of hate, since I didn't reciprocate his feelings, and I've begun to ignore him, since discovering what a petty, ignorant fool he really is.
Well, there you go. We were unbelievably close, and I haven't seen nor heard from him in 3 years, but hey-ho. It's life, what're you gonna do?
The same reaction I would have to anyone confessing such feelings for me.
I would laugh in their face, question their sanity, stubbornly deny the possibility that anyone could be so much as slightly attracted to me and in any case I would refuse their advances.

Without any offence to gays or lesbians, the thought of same sex when I'm part of it sickens me, physically I have no interest if a little repulsion for the male body, but the suggestion towards me would just get a resounding no and left at that, of course everyone now or days has gay friends hell, my best friend would shag anything with two thumbs and a heart beat, so obviously I have no ill will towards homosexuality just I'd rather not be part of it.
Besides its not like I'm a looker so I suppose I don't have to worry about that issue.

I'd just tell them I was flattered, but that's not how I roll. Happened before, apparently it was an easy mistake to make since they'd watched me rub a guys crotch for a considerable length of time earlier that night and they'd taken that as a sign that I was into guys.
Some people analyze things to much.

This has happened to me, except I was on the other side of the spectrum. (I.e. I confessed my feelings to a close friend)
He took it pretty well. He basically said he understood, as we can't control who we like, said he didn't feel the same way and that was that. Was never really a problem after that. Now that I think about it, I'm so happy the way it went, as it could have been so much worse. He already knew I was gay and didn't care, and I'm sure he had a feeling I liked him anyway.
