    So in PE today I was walking the track with my friend and there were others on the track but there wasn't anyone to close to us and she told me she is gay. So i kinda wish I came out to her right then but then my heart started pounding so I was like no don't also others were running by. Now I wanna come out to her but I'm trying to figure out how. Any posts would be helpful thanks (*hug*)

    that is great that she came out to you ! You will be able to tell her when you are ready there is no reason to rush things you just have to find the right time and place .I know that you will do great !

    I think maybe asking her to hang out where other people won't heart see if she wants to get some coffee or just hang and then just maybe mention how her coming out to you made you realize how much you wanted to do the same, just something like that. It doesn't have to be anything big or formal.

    This sounds like a good plan, Andrew.

    It's possible that you will find a good time to come out to her, even before she brings it up again. :slight_smile:

    Exactly. You don't have to rush, but you don't have to wait for her to bring it up again either. She may not, so if you want her to know, you may need to bring it up.

    One way you could quietly do it, would be to simply say "remember what you told me about you on Tuesday (or whatever day)?" "Yeah?" "I am too". Simple. Easy. No drama.

    Just a thought :slight_smile:

    You can come out to her at a place where there are not many people (if you prefer privacy). Maybe in a cafe. :slight_smile:

    You: "So, have you met any nice girls?"
    Her: "No."
    You: "How about boys?"
    Her: "Wha?"
    You: "For me."

    Well I didn't come out to her today are classes were really short bc we had an extra late start. Also we weren't really alone but the conversation about gays did come up but some people were around that we both really don't like so I'm not sure yet but I plan to come out to her soon and I'll be sure to tell u guys all about it. Thanks everyone :slight_smile:
