What is the most uncomfortable/unpleasant way you've ever realized someone had a crush on you?

Had a gay friend (didn’t know at the time) and we were talking about WoW one day when he suddenly asked about who I liked. He was my friend at the time so I didn’t think much of it at the time so I told him, “X”. His stance noticeably changed and he seemed sad or something.. Didn’t talk to him much or at all after that. I dismissed it by thinking that maybe he liked the same person and didn’t want the “competition”.

Fast forward a few weeks, I told my other friend about it and he says “Dude you know he’s gay right?”. Then it hit me, he probably liked me and was checking if I was straight or not. Sorry my dude I didn’t quite get the hint..
