    So, I was a little drunk as usual and I told her there was something I needed to tell her, she played the guessing game for a while and finally worked it out.

    Our conversation went a little like this, I'll refer to her as M.

    M: You're gay?
    Me: Yup
    M: OMG I'M SO EXCITED!!!
    Me: -_-
    M: I need to find you a nice boyfriend...

    This girls has been in love with me for years, so I have finally been able to explain why I always said I couldn't see her in that way, this has definitely been my best coming out experience though! No regrets, no awkwardness and it was a person that means a lot to me.

    So yeah, that's another. I'm getting closer and closer to being out to everyone. :slight_smile:

    Thanks! :slight_smile: I don't know why she's excited though...probably because we can talk about guys. She probably thinks I'll love shopping and fashion, I really don't.

    Congratulations! :slight_smile: I'm glad she took it really well.

    Lol poor girl, I think she will be disappointed that you're not the stereotype xD

    Haha, thanks guys. Yeah it definitely has been the best experience, the other few times were in quite embarrassing circumstances.

    And Lad123, she said she's always wanted a gay best friend - what a let down I'm going to be!

    Congratulations! (*hug*)

    It's nice to see it went really well :thumbsup:

    And I don't think she will be let down, because it's likely that she will be more open to you on things she weren't before. And I'm sure you will listen to her, so it won't be a let down after all, you'll see!!

    :grin: yeah, she hasn't really changed the way she is with me at all, and hasn't stopped coming over to see me practically every day. I thought she might since there's no chance of us being together in 'that' way.

    She keeps asking my opinion on guys and thinking I get offended at everything, like when somebody says 'gay', but I quickly remind her I don't. I also don't reply when she asks my opinion on guys, not all that comfortable yet :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Haha I know that feeling. I found it really awkward when I came out to my sis last year and she asked me a few times who I found good looking or what kind of guy was my type. I was able to answer though but it made me cringe. Now I'm ok discussing these things with her :slight_smile: It just takes time.
