    I'm still so nervous, even though this is all over. I was texting my best friend and we got on the subject of chap stick...

    Me: *Sends picture of my extensive collection of chapstick*
    Her: You will never have dry lips. Good kisser you shall be.
    Me: And they're all flavored. So my lips will be tasty.
    Her: Lol, tell a chick that before you kiss her.
    Me: Hey... can I tell you something...
    Her: I have tasty lips. <-------(I didn't get this)
    Me: No... something else...
    Her: Lol, Okie.
    Me: It would be a guy... not a girl...
    Her: Wait... Wha?
    Me: I'm gay. Please don't tell anyone...
    Her: Are you coming out of the closet with me? :confused: <----(I thought bad things were about to happen here)
    Me:Yes...
    Her: I'm completely fine with that, and I won't say I word. I promise.
    Me: Yayy! I feel better now. I'm still shaking from nervousness.
    Her: Awww. Are you planning on telling anyone else?
    Me: Not right now. I'm pretty sure I would have a nervous breakdown before that happens. You're the first person I've told. Yayy.
    Her: I know how much crap the people at school would give you, I don't want you to deal with that... I've always wanted a gay guy friend.
    Me: Now my fashion advice is LEGIT. And people already suspected I was gay. Judging by the crap I got from that, my life would be torture if they knew.

    I'm still shaking because I was so nervous. All the warmth has left my body. I'm just so glad that she accepted me. I go to a small school, so if she told anyone it would spread, and my life would pretty much be over.

    NOW I CAN CHANGE MY OUT STATUS TO ONE PERSON. YUSS.
     
  2. That was very inspiring, congratulations! Although I'm mostly out everywhere, I still haven't been able to come out to anyone in my lab at school. I just don't know what I would do if they wouldn't accept me. haha but no worries, I'll figure things out.

    Yay! Congratulations! :grin:
    I remember last summer when I came out for the first time.
    Was shaking just like you; my friend was wondering if I had caught a cold or something because it was so sunny and warm out there on her porch haha.

    I think she was joking, because she told you before, that you should tell this to a girl you are about to kiss. So you replied "Can I tell you something?" and she repeated this thing she told you you should tell.

    I don't know, whether you got it this time, because it seems even more confusing now lol :grin:

    But, hey, congrats! :slight_smile:
     
  10. one small step at a time. the first one is always the hardest, they get easier as you go on.

    I must admit, pretty nice way of telling your friend that you're gay and I'm glad she accepted you.
