    I came out to another friend today. She was the one I've been most uncertain of reaction-wise, and it went pretty well. I *think* there may be a little confusion/maybe things weren't totally clear but I feel I can clarify better in the future and that she "gets" enough at the moment. After much hemming and hawing I managed to tell her "I think I might be gay" and her initial reaction was "Really!? Really!? So... is there anyone in your love life at the moment?" So, pretty good, I think :lol: . I am really happy right now :slight_smile: .

    Thanks! I think she may be kind of confused about whether I'm gay or bi (which so am I at times, heh), but if it comes up I guess I can just tell her I'm not so interested in guys at the moment. The important thing is now I can talk about my feelings openly with her and won't have any more nightmare scenarios in my head where she realizes I had a crush on her ages ago and gets too weirded out to want to be around me :icon_redf .

    I feel a little bad for underestimating my friends sometimes, but so glad that I have when things turn out well (!) . I feel fortunate to have such a supportive group.

    Thanks! Yeah, I'm sure it'll be much easier now that it's out in the open. :slight_smile:
