I've been in that same situation, twice.
It's reallllllllllllllllly best not to even come out to that person, or admit you like them, if you are unsure if they are gay. I did it, twice, under the impression they were gay because of the way they acted around me. It's best if you ask them about it, and assure them they can be who they are around you. If you they come out to you, assuming they are gay, then there's your chance to spare yourself of an awkward friendship.
No idea if that was any where close to being helpful, but just some insight from my own personal experiences.
