Potentially outed?

I was on AfterEllen.com and received a message from my friend (The one who goes to Wells). Basically a few days ago she told me someone had found her AE profile but she didn't know how. This morning I got a message saying she'd found out how: Some guy at Wells had been looking for me and had found MY profile, and had found her through me.

The guy is someone whose name rings a bell but I don't really remember. I think he might have been at my old school or something...I texted my friend (who also went to my old school) to see if it rang a bell for her. Anyway now I'm really scared that I might end up being outed at Wells, and also really guilty because I'm effectively the reason the other girl got outed.

I'm having a really great time at keeping it a secret, aren't I? First my sister walks in on me watching 'The L word' and now someone found my AE profile...

Wonderful. *Extremely sarcastic*

 

I dunno. I heard that people can be arrested for being homosexual in Dubai. It would be a horrible place to come out. Thank god Wells is in England..

 

Ty, thanks, but it's not all that perfect.

At Wells, there is a girl there who used to go to my school. She's in my year. If she finds out I'm gay, she's likely to report back to someone at my school, who will in turn tell EVERYONE. If this happens, the entire school will find out, including my sister, who I do not yet want to know.

 

Goods:
1.) No more pretending to be straight
2.) More girlfriend opportunities
3.) I get to watch 'The L word' without worrying about who walks in on me
4.) I can openly swoon over hot female celebs, and not pretend to be into the male ones

Bads:
1.) My sister finds out before I want her knowing
2.) I don't know anything about how the people at Wells might react.
3.) Let's just say that my sister found out and told my dad (Who doesn't know). What then?

Okay I guess that makes more pros than cons, but 3 and 4 of the pros are pretty minor and something I can live with without coming out of the closet. Number 2 of the pros, I desperately crave; number 1, will be kinda relieving. Numbers 1 and 3 of the cons, I'd rather didn't happen because I just don't know how my dad and sister will react; number 2, the Wells girl said the school's very gossipy but not phobic, but still I'd rather meet them first.

...so, what of it? Come out? Possibly? Like, maybe? Take a risk? ...or not?

 

Apparently he was looking for *me* specifically and found me on that site, and found the friend through me. But I can't remember who he is and it doesn't ring a bell for my friends. I'm trying to find out if maybe he went to my old school or something...

As for my dad, well he comes from about as old fashioned a family as you can get so he might react badly..but then again, my mum said he'd be accepting (But she IS his wife so what else can I expect her to say?). I don't know for certain that he'll accept it the same way my mum did.

Thanks for the advice. Like Zec said, I think I'll just take it as it comes, and come out if it's necessary.
