I finally decided to come out to one of my close guy mates! I posted a good while ago planning on coming out to one of my best friends but couldn't do it as I was worried about the reaction. But for the past few weeks its just been killing me and I decided that I needed to tell someone! We were hanging out last night and he was just on his way out and I asked him to stay a few more minutes as I had something to tell him. He joked and said 'Are you going to tell me your gay?!' I laughed and after a few seconds of sitting there I said yes. He's the first person I have told and he was really supportive of it. It feels so much better now Iv'e told someone. I couldnt have asked for a better reaction. We spoke about it a little then the rest is history! I'm not sure im ready to tell anyone else yet so Ive asked him to keep it to himself and I know he will. It's great
Congratulations on coming out to your first friend! It's fantastic that you went for it, and that it went so well and that you know that you can trust him. With time, you'll be ready to let others know as well.
Thanks everyone I had chance to speak to him about it more the other day and he said he had no idea! Apparently he was surprised! He said he had a small thought I might be but didn't think much of it. I just great to know he is so cool with it all. I'm thinking of telling one of my other close friends who oddly enough is the brother of the guy I've just told. But I'm not rushing into it! Just happy I've finally told one person!
That's really cool, I'm glad you got to tell someone and it was so relaxed. An now it seems it has given the confidence to tell more people and that is great.
