    So, it was probably stupid, but about a month ago, I told my (straight) best friend via text that I had fallen in love with him. Yeah. Thankfully, that isn't really the problem. The thing is, we have agreed that we need to talk face-to-face about this to get a better read on each other's feelings on the whole debacle, but the issue is that there isn't an easy way to be able to talk about this without parents/siblings/etc. being around and making it impossible to actually talk about the issue. Any suggestions for getting alone to talk about this?

    That's tricky. I've had similar issues with family always being around. My best suggestion would be sometime at school if you can? (assuming you go to the same school). If not, maybe try and meet up somewhere outside of school, not at any of your houses. If you can't, you might have to resort to facetiming etc

    Do you two ever hang out? If so is there anywhere nearby you can go like a diner? If not is there anywhere kinda secluded in your school library (if you are at the same school). I guess one of the issues is finding somewhere you can go without being disturbed for.a while.

    That's the exact issue--finding somewhere we can talk w/o being disturbed. Issue is, we don't go to the same school (long story behind that) and even if we did, I'm out to very, very few people. So that's out of the question. As for meeting up outside of one of our homes, neither of us has gotten around to getting our driver's licences yet, which means someone's parent's being around if we go anywhere. Agh. I honestly don't know what kind of advice I'm looking for at this point. :help:

    Can each of you get a lift to the same public library? Meet there and/or take a walk in that area. Say you've got an assignment to research what books are. :wink:

    It's sad that the idea for the assignment actually kind of makes sense. I'll try that (but different excuse-study for chemistry class probably) Thanks!!!!!
