    I did it! I was texting him this afternoon... and you know that feeling inside that you get that tells you "The doors open... come out!!!"? I got it. So he asks me how everything is going... this is what I sent him. (note, he was at work, so we were limited to text messaging)

    Well, my friend just had her baby 5 weeks early*. My Car died. My Dad is still being a jerk. Broke up with my g/f... umm... and promise you wont tell, I'm Bi. Other than that... not much, and lifes good! You?
    *I'm an uncle!!! w00t!

    After an agonizing 5 minutes, I get this...

    Wow! that is a lot. that kinda sucks about your gf and car.
    when did it come about that you were bi? i've been working a lot and school starts again tomorrow, thats it for me.


    Then I just sent him that I guess I had always known... that I just decided to stop denying it and come out with it already. Then I told him who the other people that knew were, and asked him to not tell anyone yet.
    After about 10 minutes with no answer (my heart was racing the whole time) I text him "Are we still cool...?", and he answers by calling me and saying something akin to:

    "Nick... you don't have to worry about our not being cool or anything like that. We have been through way too much crap together for this to change anything. And besides, I think its totally cool... and don't worry. I wont tell anyone."

    So yay! :eusa_danc

    I should change mine to, whats the term? Gay cookie with Bi sprinkles?

    I'm definitely Bi... but I'm WAY closer to the Gay side than Straight.

    Well done and I'm happy for you. :thumbsup:
