The other day I heard from a mutual friend that a young man I slightly know is having what sounds like hard time which includes figuring out that he's bisexual. Of course, I immediately thought that he should check out this site but I don't know how to get the information to him. I don't know him separately from our mutual friend/associate. I only see see him 2 or 3 times a year. There's a slight chance I might see him in 2 weeks. I'm not prepared to come out to him in order to give him the website info. Nor do I really want anyone I know even slightly associating my posts with me. (Yes. Paranoid, I know). I was thinking about writing out a note and slipping it in his pocket/bag anonymously but I suspect he'll know exactly at what event he got it so will then know who's been telling his story and I don't want to upset him with that info. (She only told me to illustrate how her relationship with him seems to include a counselling component. She's not a counsellor and doesn't know about me.) Can anyone see how this could work. I supposed I could make what looks like a small flyer and slip that to him? I don't know. Or just hope he's savvy enough to find it on his own. Agh.
rent a skywriting advertisement and have it flown above his head? Sounds like quite a dilema. Why do you feel such a need to direct him to the site?
This is a tricky one! Unfortunately, from what you've said, I don't think there's a subtle way of telling him about the website without inviting further questions. I would suggest, rather than letting him find an anonymous note in his bag (which I'd find a little creepy) you could try emailing him from a different email address saying "I know you're going through some hard times, and thought I'd suggest taking a look at this website, which might help." (which is still a bit creepy but not as much :icon_wink).
USxUK seems like a good guy. I'm sure he just wanted to know what sort of issues your friend is struggling with. Perhaps in order to suggest a specific approach. Don't worry, I think everyone here is sympathetic to your friend. After all, we've all been through similar times ourselves.
No, not at all, I was trying to make light out of the situation, no intention to offend. Sorry if I did.
