How can I know if he is gay or not?

[noname]

We live in a conservative society so I doubt that he would make it known or be too obvious about. I'm interested in him and from the way he talks about things it seems taht he is straight but the fact that he is not very young but still single makes me to be honest wonder a bit.

So how could I know? He mentioned to a friend of mine that he thinks that I'm very beautiful but he does that sometimes mentioning how this or that woman is beauitful. There are also other things he says that makes me think that he is straight.

Are there any subtle signs to look for what do you think?
Thank you all for your advice but the problem is that the relationship we have does not allow me to be open with him and ask him such a question if you know what I mean.
Maybe the problem is that we should try to get to know each other better I don't know I'm just thinking.
I think he does know i'm intersted in men okay to be honest with you he is my boss I know that people say it's a bad idea and so on ..but i mean if he is the one that he is the one does not matter who he is. Well that is what i think
I apologize for my terrible grammar and writing i just sometimes pour my thoughts on here without thinking too much.

Just ask him. Why beat around the bush?Just tell him you are. If he is then he is and if he isn't then he isn't. If he stays your friend then you know he is your true friend and not a jerk.

Does he know you are interested in men? If not, telling him this will make it much easier for him to talk to you about it if he is that way inclined.
