Like jack_infinitude, I see Tony as bi leaning toward straight. He likes women, and I think he really loved Jeanne, or at least liked her a lot. I think he always wondered what would have happened if they met in another way, how many possible love stories he missed because he run away when it started being serious (an option he didn't have there). I think even today, he still has moments wondering where he would be in his life if everything in his relationship with Jeanne, from the meeting to the break-up, was lead by their own decisions and not someone else. But he'll never know, and I'm sure it still bother him.
Actually, I'd like her to come back, see her getting married or close to. It'll break his heart, but in a good way. Seeing her moving on, seeing that they weren't meant to be, seeing that he didn't hurt at the point her life is destroyed, he'll be able to heal correctly this time.
I think he had crushes on men, recognize some, denies other. I'm not sure if he did something with a man before, but if he did, it was nothing serious or big. I can actually see the interest in Gibbs, but it constantly moved between crush and father figure, and I honestly think that at some point, he consider the crush as hero worship, and getting away from it while seeing Gibbs more as a human being, keeping only the respect and the father figure.
As for his feelings for Tim, I think he was fascinated without understanding why since the first day, in two moments: one when McGee asked to talk to a woman for the investigation, saying she wasn't his type when Tony told him he wasn't allowed to ask her out, followed by being impressed when he got the news they needed (who left his job recently), and the other moment after the "I went with mom." Tony blocked on the tattoo, on the place where the tattoo was, and the implications. How many normal, boring, vanilla, boys scout guys go and get a tat on their ass just to please a girl they barely talked to on a phone?
And the fascination never left, as the need to get his attention, and to be sure McGee was laughing at his jokes, etc.... I think Tony realised he was crushing on him around season 5 and 6 (the whole speech in Agent Afloat is supposed to be Tony talking about himself using McGee as substitute, but later, McGee is using the same arguments to explain how much he didn't like the separation. It makes me wonder how much is Tony talking about himself and how much is Tony thinking about McGee during the summer.)
And now, season 7, he's starting to realise it's more than a simple crush, but can't get something more, so trying half-heartily to date.
