    Today in school we were sorta talking about boobs and I said that I would like to see some. Well, my friend asked me later on: "Why would you want to see someone's boobs, huh? You can just look at your own ones."
    Me: "That's not the same."
    She: "Then what's the reason?"
    Me: "Oh, come on! I've already told you that back in summer, remember?"
    She: "So, is it still... going on with you?"
    Me: "Duh... it just won't go away, you know."
    She: "Okay then."
    Me: "Look, I'm not sure, okay? And just because I told you I liked Tom doesn't mean my feelings for girls are gone. I'm just figuring it out, so let's just say, for now, that I'm playing for both teams."
    She: "Yup, understood!"

    It was just a random conversation, I've already come out to her in summer.

    I've used both "I'm not on your team" and "Any chance you have a brother?"

    This was the first guy friend I'd told, and he's been my best friend for years.
    Him: So, do you think these girls are hot?
    Me: No.. but there's a reason
    Him: Eh? What's the reason?
    Me: I like guys

    Worked well, successful coming out :slight_smile:
     
  5. Me: The youth group I'm going too is LGBT
    Dad: :eek:

    I've taken to informing people that I'm an equal opportunist when it comes to love, but even then I have to be quite prompted by curious individuals before actively informing someone of my sexuality.

    This is pretty much how my first coming out went XDD my friend who told me she was bisexual a while back said I could tell her anything so I was like "I think I'm a lesbian" and she was really cool about me being questioning. Later I talked to her, after I started crushing on this one girl at my school and told her I KNEW I was a lesbian and she was still fine with it. It feels good to have somebody I can talk to about my crushes and stuff. The second time....a confession letter I think, I was telling my two best guy friends some things about my past and such and I happened to mention I like girls and they were fine with it. (!)

    (To two of my best friends, one of which is no longer a close friend)

    Me: Wait... Guys.
    They: What? We are gonna miss the bus...
    Me: I'm gay.
    They: :astonished: LOL I knew it (which was a lie :slight_smile: )

    My other 2 friends that I told, one was via text. We were talking about how our dads were both assholes through their/our lives, and that's when I told him why I liked and confided in our Biology teacher so much.

    He couldn't believe it! Took him like a week to accept it, now he's cool, and he asked if he could tell our other friend. He was so cool with it I couldn't believe it! I was so nervous. XD

    Me: "a few years ago I had a one night stand, with a guy.
    And I want to do it again."

    Her: "you're gay???"

    Me: "I'm not sure"

    I first came out while playing Scrabble with a friend of mine. It was my turn and I had the letters to spell " I'm gay", so I spelled it out on the board. After that we stopped playing and talked about it the rest of the night.

    Another person I came out to I did while we were texting

    Her: You know that Jessica girl at lunch today?
    Me: Yeah, but I rejected her.
    Her: Why?
    Me: Listen... can you swear to not to tell anyone this?
    Her: I swear... what are you going to say?
    Me: I wouldn't date Jessica, I would rather go with her brother

    "So Timo... when will you introduce a girlfriend? :slight_smile:"
    - Probably never
    ":confused:"
    - I'd rather bring a boyfriend.


    I like this one :grin:

    The Visual / emoticon, cracked me Andrew! Even though it must have been a 'heart in the mouth' moment, thank you for making me laugh!

    I found myself in a situation where i had no choice but to stop living a lie, telling people i was looking for a girlfriend, after a nervous breakdown. I told my dad first
    he said "whatever you do.. don't tell your mother, it will break her heart!" :dry:
    Some support huh?

    anyway i did tell my mother a short while later.
    she said "it doesn't matter to me what your sexuality is, Gay, Straight, Bi, you're my son, I just want you to be happy, and I will always love you!" :icon_bigg
    brings tears to my eyes even now.

    My dad is hoping that its all a bad dream.......
    but he's my dad, and i love him.

    I never did tell anyone as in coming out. I just lived a lesbian life and they noticed. When I was young there was no such thing as coming out. If you did well you were in serious trouble. As times changed after 1969 and later we all were just gays and queers and such. I met a girl and the rest is history.

    I first told a guy I'd just met, we were texting for a while after that then stopped talking. I then told a friend after we had a little fumble when we were drunk. THEN the guy who I told first outed me to people at college that I barely speak to. All of those coming outs I regret completely.

    The next two meant the world to me. I told my two best friends. This is the conversation I had with friend A, my female best friend.

    A: Why don't you love me, like really love me?
    Me: There's a reason why, guess!
    A: *asks every possible question known to man* Do you like boys?
    Me: Yup!
    A: OMG! I'm so excited!

    Then I had to tell my guy best friend, which I feared so much. But I kid you not, it was one of the most emotional and touching moments of my life. We hugged, cried and the only think he was angry about is that I didn't tell him first.

    Me: "Mum, there's something I have to tell you."
    Mum: "Yes?"
    Me: "I think I'm gay. I know that you know I like girls, but I think I'm fully gay.. or something." (I started crying by that point sigh)
    Mum: "I still love you just as much. And, trust me, once you get into Uni, girls are going to be all over you minus the ones with bad taste."

    And then we both started laughing. It was too adorable.

    I have told friends over the internet, and they were just as accepting, and encouraged me to come out to my mum a few days ago! I did confide in my best friend a few years ago, telling her about some girls that I found attractive, and she agreed. She's bisexual as well. :3

    I wish I could be out with my dad, the rest of my family, and in general, but alas I'm too scared of what might (and most likely) happen.

    I told my last crush I was bisexual while we were talking about gay marriage. It was surprisingly easy, I guess since I knew he was demisexual from his profile page, but still, I guess I just trust him a lot. So were talking about gay rights, and I was just like "As for me, Weeellll I personally think of myself as bisexual.". Nothing happened between us though, when I confessed my feelings to him, he said he thought of me as a good friend, which we still are ^_^.

    I loled so hard xD

    My mother has done most of the work for me because of her huge mouth, but we did have a funny moment with our landlord when we were making a contract for our rental flat. In the contract, there was one box where you were supposed to put your partner's name if you moved in together.

    He: So, where do I put her (my girlfriend's) name..?
    Me: Just put it under 'partner'.
    He: So are you two roommates?
    Me: No, in a relationship.
    He: Oh! *nodding*
