    So I just started going out with this guy yesterday. The thing is, I've only went on one date with him so far, since I met him 6 days ago. My mom asked me if it was a date or we were just hanging out, and I told her we were just friends hanging out. But we're going to the movies Friday, and since I usually don't hang out with guys, she's going to probably be suspicious that I'm hanging out with him often. I just don't really want to tell her that we're going out, because then she'll either start worrying that I'm "too young" (possibly) or be like "Awh, your first boyfriend!".... and I don't really want either of those two. But I don't really like lying either. What should I do?

    Then there's my friends. Three of them, that I earlier had told that I was bisexual, then told I was gay, know we're going out. I'm afraid that they may just thinking my "gayness" was a phase, and that I'm back to being straight or something. They may not think this, I don't know...

    Then there's my other crush... So I really like her, but she's most likely straight. We've at least been talking a little more recently though. The other day, we were talking at a game, and she asked me if I was going out with this guy. I said no, because we weren't then. She then told me that she thinks he's kinda creepy (quite a few people think this). He doesn't know that I also have a crush on her still, but he does know that I'm bisexual, and that I used to like her. I don't know what to do about her or about if he should know.

    Anyways, overall I'm happy we're going out though. :icon_bigg

    Congratulations on your first "boyfriend" (I can't wait until I can say I've had my first boyfriend)! About your mom.... tell her that you and this boy have recently become good friends and that it isn't weird at all for two friends to go to the movies. You could also just be straight up about it and tell her that he is your boyfriend and just deal with whatever crap she has to say about it.

    You should just tell your friends that you are a bisexual and that your "gayness" wasn't just a phase. Since they did accept you as a bisexual and a gay, I'm sure they are not thinking that you are back to being straight. They seem like great friends and very accepting people.

    Since relationships are all about honesty, I think you should just tell him that you still have a crush on that girl, but tell him that you have much stronger feelings towards him. I'm sure he will understand.

    have fun at the movies on Friday! :slight_smile:
