Sounds like a tautology, but...
It's another beautifully clear sunny day, yet the fog horns have been blowing all morning. In microclimate San Francisco, it's quite possible for the bridge to be fogged in while the rest of the town is not.
Always astonishes me how the sound travels overland. I'm about 4 miles inland from the Golden Gate and 3 from the Bay Bridge, but the horns are always audible.

Your Holiness, I have a matter of grave importance to discuss with you. I find myself attracted to the captain of my university's hockey team. We have had past contact, even something of a friendship, even though we do not speak often. He's a hard-working, mentally and emotionally stable guy. Springtime has put me in the mood for romance, and I find myself imagining us together.
The problem is, I don't know if he's gay or straight. I want to make sure that I am not pining for something I can never had. I just don't know how to find out without making it obvious that I am interested in him. I was thinking that I could mention the case of the Bruin's player, and ask him casually, in a tone like I am trying to refute accusations of homophobia, if the team would have a problem with a gay team mate.
Seeing as you are the closest thing to a mentor that I have on this topic, I wanted your advice. Too complex? Can I risk directly asking him if he's gay? I realize that rejection is possible even if he's gay, but I don't want to wonder if I missed an opportunity.

Two thoughts.
Approach One might be to raise the issue of dating and women these days, sort of as an observer, what it's like on campus generally or for him as a prominent athlete. See where he goes with it.
Approach Two would be to talk about yourself as a gay man and what that's like for you on campus and see how he responds, or doesn't.
PS: and by "falling" I meant falling in love.
