Any advice is appreciated. Is it too soon to enter this friendship and is it worth investing the time? The guy is making an effort though to be a good mentor. And we also attend the same church sometimes.
Do straight men really talk this way about their friendships? Sorry but when I read this I get the same kind of feeling that I got when my now-ex husband called his new friend and asked him if he wanted to go out and have a beer with him--just something a little weird about the wording and I wouldn't even bring it up b/c your sexuality is your business, but the friend is married.

If you are indeed straight and this question is straight up then why not just see where the friendship leads? Platonically I mean. If he is willing to go hiking with you then he probably wants to be friends, but why sweat it now.
