    This was actually an interesting way to come out. It went very well, and actually has kind of a funny story behind it. To make things a little more clear, check this thread out first.

    http://emptyclosets.com/forum/comin...ood-chance-someone-opposite-sex-likes-me.html

    Okay so, today we all met up in front of a Starbucks to hang out. There was 2 girls and 1 boy.

    They offered me a chocolate muffin, and I sat down.

    Next, they are mumbling about something, and what not then said they have a secret. I proceeded by saying "it's okay, I have secrets too" (I was talking about my sexual orientation). Automatically, they start the questions with me. They kept asking me to say something, and I kinda already knew what they wanted to ask me, but they were just hinting at me. The convo went something like this. (it was much longer but this is the gist of it)

    Them: "We have a secret."

    Me: "It's okay, I have secrets too."

    Guy friend: "You tell me your secret and I'll tell you mine"

    Me: "I just said secret just cus. Idk what you mean"

    Guy friend: "Okay, it's 1 letter, 2 letters, 3 letters, say it"

    Female friend: "I don't think he is." (This is the girl who probably liked me)

    Guy friend: "Well, it's not bad if he is."

    Female friend: "Then ask him"

    Guy friend: "You ask him. If I ask him then he'll think I'm mean."

    Female friend: "I bet you 5 bucks he isn't"

    Me: "I'm really confused. Just say it."

    Female friend: "Okay so erm... would you consider dating a... male?"

    Me: "OH, you're asking if I'm gay...
    ...
    To be honest... yes" (I already expected them to ask this, but I didn't want to just say it without confirming)

    Guy friend: "I knew it!"

    Female friend: "What? I think he's lying. Are you really?"

    Me: "yes..."

    Female friend: "What if he's just bi?"

    Me: "I used to think that... but no."

    Female friend 2: "It's okay. Now he's his secret"

    Guy friend: "I asked out (third female friend) and she said yes!"

    Basically, the same day I come out is the same day my friends get into a relationship. I'm sure that the girl who probably liked me was kinda bummed that I wasn't straight because it probably would of been something like a double date, but it's just the truth. The girl who he is now dating can't digest chocolate, but he got her chocolate muffins because he was pressured by the others, despite how much he knew she can't eat them. Anyways, she comes along 5 minutes later and the guy is just like pointing at me jokingly whispering "he's gay".

    I knew at the moment they asked that it will be my last chance to come out. If they were really ready to start dating each other, then it was time that I break the news because things would get really awkward if my female friend didn't know...
