The Dreaded Scale

Let's talk about something very real...
The Kinsey scale is real, but what's always interested me is the workings of the human brain to control the outward display of such middle ground. As in, if there's a person who lies somewhere in the middle of the scale, what are the controlling mechanisms that unlock such flexibility?
Society has created stigmas. Peer pressure and social influences can act as barriers in exploration.
It's all so complex.
In the weeks prior I mentioned that I was considering myself single again. The truth is, I'm stuck in a pattern of hurt. My roommate is "straight" and I've fallen in love with him. Hours upon hours we spend together, everything from gaming to grocery shopping. I told him I loved him and still we remain friends. The hurt is real though.
My gut tells me to be patient... my gut tells me he's somewhere on the scale but too scared to admit it.
Two people who are dependent on each other from a year of emotional bonding might develop feelings for each other, but fear can derail it all.
