Questioning my sexuality.

I think i might like this boy, but im straight (i think?), me and him hang out a lot and we have a lot in common! Hes one of my bestfriends, i feel upset and scared that i like him because my family is very religious and i dont think they would support me. He makes me feel things i dont usually feel for girl's, its love but its different, i talked to an ex about it and she told me to figure myself out and to talk to him more and spend time with him to figure this stuff out, but im too shy to go near him sometimes, What do i do?

When I was young, I considered myself straight but had a guy friend who I liked hanging out with.
I started hanging out with him more when I was "between girlfriends"
One night when we were at his place drinking and watching sports on TV, he left the room. When he came back a few minutes later he was naked. He walked up to me and kissed me and I felt surprisingly aroused. One thing led to another, and we had sex. I woke up naked in his arms the next morning
The moment he kissed me, I knew I wasn't straight, and I've now determined that I'm gay. Sometimes you don't realize what your true sexuality is until you take the time and effort to figure it out.
