    I first came out in November to a few people, and since then have been slowly telling people in my life.

    I've now told approximately 20 people, and plan to tell another ten or so in the next couple weeks.

    For the first time, when I met a new person, I made it clear straight away that I was gay, and they were fine with it. This was a pretty big step, but I decided that going foward it is likely the best policy (I don't need to make the list of people I have to come out to any longer than it already is).

    I think towards the end of the summer, enough people will know that it will just become common knowledge.

    There are some people who I will wait to tell - my family is one group (they live in a different city than I do) - until I have something noteworthy to share (like finding someone), it's a topic that I don't feel comfortable broaching right now.

    Anyways, we'll see how the summer goes.

    Cool, I'm glad it's going well for you! I remember when for me it became kind of public knowledge and I didn't need to worry about who knew or who didn't — it felt great :slight_smile:

    That's cool! I haven't got to that point yet - although most of the new people I meet are at work and I'm not out at work...
