    Ok so who else knows what I mean
    Ya know when you come out to some one
    And in those few moments that it takes them to react they have this face
    It's like mouth slightly open, eyes a little too wide, with a dash of WTF?!
    You know that face?:eek:
    Yeah so who else got that face when they came out

    that's the "generally shocked" expression. I have yet to get that. However from some of the guys I've told it to I get smiles and smirks ^.^ same happens to the girls

    I've never gotten that shocked expression actually.
    Apparently it wasn't all that surprising to most people.

    if I got that expression, I'd take the liberty of closing their mouth for them, or wait to see if I fly lands in there

    srsly, the shock just hides their true feeling, they probably have no better reaction to think of anyway

    Ditto, XD

    Though the people at the Food Bank will be shocked, just cause they always ask about girlfriends ._. But *shrug* If they need/want to know, I'd tell em :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I didn't see my dad's face; he was looking towards the ground at the time. My mom's was a tight-lipped sigh of some sort. And my friends really just rolled their eyes, smirked and then followed it up with a "Yeah, we know."

    Almost everyone I've come out to has a different face in these situations; you do realise, if I do come out to people, I'm just going to be looking at their faces from now on? :grin:

    Yea...

    90% of my coming outs were "OOooooooooooh! Life makes so much more sense now!"
    They were just like watching a show and when you see the last 5 minutes of it the first 25 make SO much sense after. People couldent piece together everything to out me apparently, but after the fact they totally did a face palm for not guessing.

    10% of my coming outs were "Whoa, but greg you act so straight. I would have never guessed" but not surprised face, more puzzled? These are the people that i dont get. Apparently they dont know me that well, because i dont act straight :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I did in highschool to fit in, but as soon as the second half of grade 12 rolled in i stopped that hah.

    I got that a few times. It was weird, I'd guess 30% of the people I came out to reacted with a "yeah, we figured that out a long time ago", and the other 70% were "what?! really? I never would have guessed".

    Yeah, one of my str8 friends found out from another person that I was gay, and later when he asked me if it was true I just said "yeah, I am" and he totally gave me the :eek: face. He thought I was straight as an arrow so naturally he had been quite shocked. At the time I thought it was pretty funny up until he didn't really want to talk about it ever again. kind of disappointing......
