    So my Bff (who my username is for) came out to me a few months ago. Which got me (re)thinking about how I could be bi. I've been thinking a lot about it recently & have discovered that I am, in fact, bi (to what degree, I'm not sure yet). I figured it out a few weeks ago & had not had a chance to tell my Bff yet. I had kept mentioning I needed to talk to him, but we've been super busy lately. But today, he had to pick up a car from the repair shop so I offered him a ride. And the story goes pretty much like this:

    *Some chatter about the pep assembly we had just finished*
    Him: So, what did you want to talk to me about?
    Me: Well...okay...ummmmm...I don't know how to lead into this...but...umm...I'm bi.
    Him: Really? That's awesome.
    Me: Yea, I like this girl from *town close-by*
    Him: Cool, what's her name?
    Me: *gives name*
    Him: Oh , yea I know her.
    Me: Yea...
    *More chatter about me being bi/him coming out, and other stuff*

    So, I'm extremely relieved right now and so happy I finally had the chance to tell him. & I was pretty sure it would go well but it just feels awesome to have told him. I just feel like I'm standing on air right now! :icon_bigg:icon_bigg:icon_bigg

    That's awesome, congrats! It always feels great coming out to someone, even if it's just one person. And that's the start, telling one person. And the more people you tell, the better you'll feel. Of course, I'm not saying you should just rush and tell everyone else right now; I'm just saying as you do come out more, you'll feel even better. I mean, it gets better. ^_^

    Thanks everyone! I plan on telling at least one more friend soon, but I'm not going to tell too many people right away b/c I live in a mostly homophobic town. :dry:
    @Gracieling he actually told me about this forum when he came out to me. :icon_bigg

    Congrats :3 Coming out for the first time takes a lot of courage, but after that it slowly gets easier and easier :slight_smile:
