    I want to come out to my friend who is bisexual. I want to do it alone with her and outside of school. Any tips?(!)

    I came out to a girl friend too. but I don't talk to her anymore cause of friendship problems. But anyone's don't make it a big deal cause it's just gonna build up and make you even more nervous. if you are. I just said that I needed to tell her something and what I said was "what if I told you I was gay" and she said she didn't care. and that was it. I got lightheaded too. but yeah. If your friend is bisexual I don't think she's gonna care at all cause she's even considered an LGBT person. She would understand.

    When I came out to my gay friend, I did it over Skype messaging because I would've felt so nervous doing it in person. Maybe you could do that if you want, but RvP's advice is good too.

    Keep us updated!

    I am going to come out to my friend as well soon. I think that you should just say it quick and to the point instead of trying to explain.
