How do I know I can tell a specific friend that I'm gay?
-
It really scares me to death to loose a friend just for that. Are there any signs for knowing that?
You need to be clever in this case. When you're out point him that you think the guy across the street is gay and ask your friend what does he think about that. Also, ask him what does he think about gays in general. If you detect any sign of aggression - you better speak of it no more and keep your mouth shut.
I did that once and it turned out the guy who I thought he was my best friend doesn't deserver that title at all. He once said if he discovered I had "gone to the left" (that's a Bulgarian expression I can't translate in a better way) he would send me to the ER in a comma. -
So I'm way late to the party with answering your question, but here's my opinion. Nobody ever knows for sure whether they can tell a specific person they're gay, because everyone has a unique reaction to the news. It could be good, could be bad, could be "Don't give a fuck", could be "I know". I say if you don't want to hide it, just tell them.

I would not tell if it is not necessary.
Friends, family, maybe colleagues, … I will say -

Trynna use aleatory gay guys example to discuss wit him about dat! If u feel he's not friendly just don't tell! u don't have to tell anyone about your sexuality

I never told anyone, but I'm not hiding in the closet. If they are close enough, they will know by themselves. If they don't know about me, it means they are not close enough. This topic is sensitive in some community so I don't expect to get into the awkward situation.

If you scare, then do not tell them
-
Maybe try and figure out what their general understanding and opinion about gay people is…

I know this thread is pretty old, but it's been very interesting to read the responses. I hope the OP found the answer he was looking for.

One thing I have learned is that straight guys can actually tell when someone has a crush on them… But it would be good to know about his feelings on the subject. But don't tell him that you like him... the end result WILL BE BAD.
