    -other than my best friend of 8 years who is bi, and my best guy friend of 9 years who is ALSO bi.... I'm about to tell a guy friend that I'm gay.

    I'm actually doing this right now..and I'll let you know how it goes as it happens. I'm actually very scared even though I could be okay if he ended up being judgmental. ...So..here goes..

    Me: C...That thing...that's been ....bothering me and upsetting me, is this: I...like girls... :frowning2:

    Edit: Sorry, meant to make the title "First time coming out to a 'straight' friend."

    Yeah. The first one's always the hardest. You never know what to expect, so your mind comes up with the weirdest possibilites. Congrats on coming out :thumbsup:

    Thanks! I had anticipated a longer conversation with him; questions or something. But we moved on pretty fast to football :lol:

    Does it generally get easier to come out to friends with practice? I felt pretty paranoid x.x I'm glad he reacted well- yay positive reinforcement.

    Believing that it would be more difficult than it turns out to be is totally rational, because we can't always be 100% sure of a good outcome. Congrats on coming out!
