    When you told your friends you were bi or gay, did they get nervous about you coming on to them? I had one friend react oddly, and I'm kind of scared she might think I have a crush on her.

    It's not been a problem for me. Then again, most of my friends are girls.

    Not counting the friend I ended up dating (because he did get nervous around me at first, though in a different way), not really. There's one friend who I haven't actually seen since I came out to him, but I hardly think he will. It's surprising how understanding and not-suspicious my male friends are.

    I had one friend who reacted a little strangely. She was accepting but very much like "Are you sure? But how do you know?" and questioned me a lot. But other than that, no. I actually had one friend that was offended I didn't have a crush on her haha!

    When you say she reacted oddly, what do you mean exactly?

    A couple of people acted strange at first. Then they saw it was the same me and settled right down. It was like they thought I was going to jump on them for saying the wrong thing.

    Ha! That's awesome. Yeah, she was just kind of like, "Wait wait wait, WHAT?! I mean, that time you hung out with that girl, were you attracted to her?" And I was like, "No," and she said, "I, um, I mean it's not like I'm upset or anything." And it was just sort of the elephant in the room ...
