    well i did try coming out before but she took it as a joke saying "oh you cant be gay as you've never dated before."

    So I do have confidence (Well a bit) its just if she takes it as a joke again how can i tell her or show her im serious? :help:

    Tell her that she can't be straight if she's never tried the same sex yet. She might like it!

    Just explain everything you think is important for her to know about your sexuality and how you know that you are gay :3

    You've already told her. You can try, if the opportunity presents itself, to explain it again, but beyond that, I wouldn't push it. Not because you should hide who you are, but because it's like talking to a brick wall. Save yourself the time, and put it into other endeavors and projects.

    She knows now. It's all on her at this point.

    This is one of those go on living your life, and if you meet somebody, then you can bring them around and that should start driving home the point. Perhaps the way your mother is acting is her way of coping, everybody has their own methods for things like that.

    Tend to your education, employment, and self-love. The rest will come, and when it does, you can cross that bridge then.
