    Just curious are you out on Facebook? I know it might seem small but changing my orientation on there was a big milestone in my coming out. Simply because I have a lot of old friends and extended family on there. So are you out on Facebook?

    I am out on Facebook to everyone but my immediate and extended family, and that restriction is only because of my mom

    No, I don't feel the need to state my orientation on Facebook, or see any use it might have. When I still considered myself straight I didn't state it either.

    Facebook will find out once I'm in a relationship.

    The hidden results are a mistake I made. @Heyitsme , Why does your mom have a restriction on it

    I have family on Facebook, and I'd like to come out to them in person. I'm kind of worried to because I know how much they gossip and I don't want the world to know until I'm ready to face any bother people might give me for it. They're also not the most open-minded people. The friends I trust with that so far already know, but I'm not giving the others anything to spread.

    If I had FB I would definitely be out. For some reason, it's easier saying this stuff online than saying it irl.

    Same, there should be a other section. The main reason why I dont have a facebook is because anyone I want to see/talk to, I do normally anyway, so there really isnt a reason for me. Plus, I have enough to do on a daily basis ~_~.

    My fb orientation thing says: "Men and women" I think that's fair since I'm still questioning :slight_smile: And everyone (including my Mum) can see it though I don't think anyone gives a shit about it :grin:

    I have my status as "interested in women". Only a couple of people have noticed though. So, I answered yes.

    I'm not. Most of the people on my Facebook friends list are related to my step-father (to whom I shall never come out). Plus I'm hardly ever even on Facebook anyway. My mother uses my account more than I do.

    Back before I had deleted mine, yeah, I had set it as interested in men. It's not like people just check your info that often, though.

    This. Facebook isn't a dating site. So why put your orientation there. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Bolded the last part of emphasis.
