    should i say it in a long way like "hey, i hate to hide this anymore and i consider as bla bla bla bla bla"

    or

    should i say it straight to the point "hey x...i'm gay"

    Personal preference. Do you want to rip the band-aid off quickly or slowly and agonizingly?

    Maybe you guys should throw a surprise coming out party and invite the friend you're going to tell!

    Hi there! Sounds like you feel ready for her to know, so why not tell her

    "hey, I wanted you to know that I am gay because I don't want to hide anymore and want to be open with you."

    If you are ready for it and you know she is going to take it well and be supportive then maybe give it a try! Good luck! :slight_smile:

    Before you come out, maybe make sure that it is going to be okay or that it is going to be great. Do you know or have an idea as to how she might react?

    I just got each of my friends and family one on one and told them, "Look, I know this is kind of strange and out of the blue, but I don't want to hide it anymore. I'm gay." And then I just gave them time to have their reaction (generally surprise) and answer any questions they had. I found that to be the easiest, and once you get the ball rolling you'll make your way down the list of people you need to tell.

    For some reason I had the idea that your other 2 girl friends would be there when you told her. Now you can't do fun stuff like "hey x, we have something to tell you" *all together* "we're gay!"

    Oh well... good luck!

    i think she already know that me and my friends are not straight anymore so i think she won't be surprised

    tq :icon_bigg

    this will be funny so we won't take it to serious :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    My only concerns revolve around it being a group - a bunch of you coming out at once - and the use of the word "anymore". I don't think it necessarily has to be "serious", but at the same time, you DO want people to take it seriously.
