    So I haven't come out to anyone yet and I really have no clue what I am doing. I have one bisexual friend and I thought it would be a good idea to come out to her first as I am fairly certain she will be accepting of me. I thought that was a good idea but really just need some advice as I am really unsure :confused:


    Any advice, suggestions or comments are welcomed and appreciated. :newcolor:

    I think starting with your bisexual friend is the best way to go about this. They probably know what you're going through one way or another.

    You can either casually come out to them while the two of you are talking or ask them to meet/talk in private and tell them your secret. Do you intend to come out to everyone and wouldn't mind it spreading (you can tell them to help you with that) or do you want them to keep it a secret?

    I do intend to come out to everyone just not quite yet so I think I will get them to keep it a secret for a while.
    Thanks for your advice :slight_smile:
