    Earlier today I was texting my girlfriend and told her that I wanted to see her later and tell her something. But now that I've had time to think it through, I'm scared to :icon_sad:
    How should I tell her I'm actually a guy? I know she won't reject me, because she's really open minded, or break up with me, since she's bi. But I'm still kind of scared anyway...
    Any support at all would be great! :slight_smile:

    Just be upfront and tell her that you have been throwing this around for a while but now you want to be upfront because you feel that you guys have been going for you x amount of time and you feel that you shouldn't hold back anymore secrets. And then go "if you have anything to share to sort of clear the air let me know" And also knowing that you know this about me, do you want to stick around? If you don't "I understand."

    That's pretty much what i would do if i were in your shoes.

    I told her yesterday and she was perfectly fine with it :grin: She told me she was fine with it, and anytime I wanted to talk with her about it, she'd listen. Thanks again for the advice!
