What people have said here is awesome. I am impressed.
What I want to offer is this: While it might free you up to not worry about "labels" and "categories", I think it is worth your while to consider who you are reaching out to for the kind of relationship you might want. You might want to seek out a support group for gay men, if you want to start meeting men who might return the interest that you show.
Reaching out to this friend from the hospital is good, but try to be mindful of what you expect. If he is not inclined to have an intimate relationship with another man (you), will you feel rejected? Can you accept a less intimate friendship? Will you be willing to look for more intimate companionship from someone who is more likely to reciprocate, or will it be hard for you to do that?
If you are not ready to interact with men who might reciprocate, can you explore your fears about this?
Think about setting yourself up for some possible success by trying to meet men who might reciprocate.
