Is anyone surprised when you come out?

Most folks aren't, but I guess a guy that collects fashion dolls and MLP kinda provides a clue, huh? :lol:

I've had married women ask me why I'm *not* married. What does that mean, I wonder?

 

Most people were surprised when I came out. Mainly because they missed the most obvious sign - disinterest in the opposite sex.

Everyone I tell just says, "Oh. Cool," and then goes on to talk about a frog they saw the other day or whatnot. I kind of wish I could get some stronger reactions, but nobody really cares at all.

 

Not a single soul was surprised, pretty much everyone knew xD

 

The people I've told so far have told me they were surprised or didn't expect it. They didn't react with any kind of crazy knee-jerk surprise, but I suppose it just wasn't something they considered. Generally they've been pretty calm and seemed to just go with the flow when I explained myself, and I feel fortunate in that regard.

 

Surprise isn't a reaction I've gotten so far... In fact I've been asked more than I've had to tell people. Though to be fair, I had already told my cousin I was texting a cute girl when he asked me. And said cute girl was the other person who asked me, and I'm now dating her. My internet friends didn't have much of a reaction at all, I guess because we all sort of became queer teenagers together, although I was one of if not the first of us to come out.

 

Yes, my family were very surprised when I first came out to them. Even now, when I tell people, they're like, “Oh, you're too pretty to be gay/bisexual" as if it's a choice or something. They make it seem like due to bad luck with men, I made a conscious decision to like women. However, and not to sound big headed, but I've never had an issue finding a date.

And honestly, since I've been back together with my ex boyfriend for the past year, some people seem to think that I'm no longer interested in women.

 

Everyone I came out to is like that , just recently I met another guy who is gay and doesn't look stereo typically gay either ; He even told me , he would have never guessed I'm a lesbian . Seems like every human being I meet seems shocked they tell me I don't give off a lesbian vibe .

 

My gay friends tend to be more surprised than my straight friends are. I remember a time when I accidentally outed myself (because I didn't realize I was closeted) at an LGBT group. I made a casual comment about some guy being cute and the whole room fell silent. They all thought I was straight and came to the meetings because I was supportive!

 

Yes, they all have been surprised so far. They didn't expect it.

That being said, I haven't come out to everyone so I'm not sure what they will say. But so far, everyone has been surprised.

 

People tend to be suprised because I dont "Look the part".

 

Yeah.. It makes me laugh really

 

The people at my old table group in math screamed "YOU'RE GAY????" really loud when they figured it out. They asked how I thought a certain girl looked and I kept messing with my rainbow bracelet until one girl giggled really high pitched and I said "I think she got it". It took them long enough though O.O

 

Most people weren't shocked (including my dad). Some said "Really? That's cool." My mom cried. 1 person thinks I should burn in hell... >^<

 

Yes, but from the two people I came out to, one was transgender and was chill about it all, then he came out to me. The other is my best friend, who is also gay, and she was just like, "I never expected it." To be fair, I have called many guys good-looking, but when it got down to actually dating them, I realized it was only aesthetics.

 

My freshy friend wasn't. I dropped a hint and no one picked it up or so I thought. I told him today and he's like 'yeah... I kinda thought so.' Idk about the other 3 friends in my art class XD

 

Everyone that I've talked to seemed shocked when I came out to them. I don't know why I mean I've never really shown that much interest in the opposite sex and I'm not THAT masculine.
