    Tonight is going to be the first time seeing a friend after coming out via text...
    She was totally cool with it, but I am afraid things might be a bit awkward. I am going to sleep over at her house because it's closer to the party and we don't want to be driving around the city past midnight.
    Any advice? What can I expect? Should I say something? :help: please!

    After a week of coming out to the my first friend she gave me a hug, asked me a few questions (do my parents know, who do I fancy then etc) and then all was back to normal.

    I never worried about friends much, especially if they seemed supportive. If she seems cool with it just be prepared to answer questions honestly and you'll be fine.

    Thanks guys,

    She was so supportive, we talked till the next morning. We talked about if, how and when I should tell our other friends, we talked about my crush (she immediately guessed who - it must be a little more obvious than I thought) and a whole lot of other things (her love life, school, the party etc.)
    It was nice to be able to say so and so that was at the party is hot etc. and it felt so natural to just talk. Just to be myself!!
    It's the support of EC and friends like her that make all this not just bearable, but exciting!!
