Starting the process... YAY!!!

I started my coming out process in earnest this past week. Only a few friends know so far and I haven't told my family. Heck, I only came out to myself less than a month ago!

A kind of funny experience so far was coming out to a similarly queer woman friend who actually told me I was queer two years ago back when I didn't even realize it yet. She then proceeds to ask me if I found her ex attractive. I responded immediately yes and said that I always had.

Friend gets on the phone and tells the ex that a mutual friend has a crush on her. The ex instantly guesses that it's me. I am, of course, horribly embarrassed because apparently I was in the closet but left the door wide open.

And here I thought I was the quintessential straight girl when apparently I wasn't hiding my gay streak very well at all. :eusa_doh:

 

I actually don't know yet. LOL She does think I'm "cute" but she no longer lives in my area full-time. I'll see her around the holidays though and I think we may hang out some then. :eusa_danc

 

Thanks!

 

Random update:

I just outed myself on my bdsm social networking site. It is, of course, the "safest" of my social networking sites to be out on because it tends to be a more accepting group when it comes to sexual orientation differences. Still, these people represent the bulk of my frequent, current social connections.

Coming out of Facebook will be harder because that is where people from my past, including my old church are friends with me. It is also where some of my family will likely see it. Still, this is a start. The ball keeps rolling!
