As a gay guy I feel weird after coming out to male friends. I don't want them to think I am gonna check them out or anything. Nobody has acted differently to me but I am so conscious about it that I pull back from them. Like my straight guy friends hug and whatever and I feel like i am being rude for fear they will think i like them. When we are at a pool/beach or wherever I kinda just dont look at them, i dont like them, but i wanna make sure they dont think i do. its getting me neurotic.
I feel the same way, it is awkward to me as well. I'm not worried that I'm going to like them I don't really know what I'm afraid of rejection I guess.
all of the guys i have told turn out to be gay but i felt the same way when i wanted to tell my friend chris but before i could tell him he told me that he was gay lol but yea i guess just dont worry if they dont act like it bothers them than it prolly doesnt
I feel awkward too. It's almost like guilt or shame or something of that sort but I always get like a weird feeling in my stomach when I tell people.
I feel this too sometimes but then again I'm paranoid about a lot of stuff... Guess one just sorta has to get used to the thought of being out.
I'd say just go with what you're comfortable with, be natural. I think you're over thinking it. I would bet your friends aren't even thinking about it, so neither should you.
I remember feeling the same way when I first came out - I eventually realised that everyone has a line that they're comfortable with, chances are that if you're out to your friend and they are fine with it, you wont cross that line unless you do something rather crude. Best possible solution - ask them. Everyone is different and ultimately you never know until you ask.
