    So "C" is my only guy friend really. I have sort of guy friendsw, but we're not near as close as me and "C", all the rest are girls :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: So I used to have another best guy friend, and he got me so pissed off saying how I've changed and such so I just screamed at him that I'm gay! He said it was perfectly fine, and nothings changed. But we haven't talked for 2 months :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: So Yes, things have changed! And I don't want "C" to be like that :/ So about a year ago he couldn't STAND gay, he would talk so badly about them and everything else. But for the past year or so, he's loved gays, hated homophobes, and talked greatly about them. So naturally, you would say, "oh, he must be gay then" But I checked his internet history just to check (Not THAT big of a creeper ;p) And there was lesbian porn. So i'm all like that's cool. And he's mentioned liking girls, like crushes and stuff, but never acted upon them :/ SO Idk if I should tell him, and what the best way of doing it would be, like if he's gay then great I have a gay friend, but then if he's straight, i'm SO scared that he'll become what my other friend has, or be wierded out :frowning2: Help? :frowning2:

    Quick point of order.

    >>>So I used to have another best guy friend, and he got me so pissed off saying how I've changed and such so I just screamed at him that I'm gay! He said it was perfectly fine, and nothings changed. But we haven't talked for 2 months :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: So Yes, things have changed!

    Well, do note that you were pissed at each other, and yelling at each other BEFORE you came out to him. It's certainly possible that you two grew apart before you came out to him, so I wouldn't necessarily say the gulf was due to that.

    If you'd like to come out to C, your best bet is to approach it correctly. Here's what you want to get across - "I'm gay. I'm telling you this because you're my friend, and I think you deserve to know." That last bit can help alleviate any weird feelings of "is he telling me this because he's hitting on me?"
