Sooooo my mom just asked me if I had a girlfriend and the way she said it makes me think she knows, hopefully it's just my paranoia but I have a gut feeling she knows that I like guys... Any tips on how to deceit her into thinking I'm into girls.
I don't think lying to her would do you any good. If you're not ready to come out then just kind of brush off her questions. If she asks you again about a girlfriend then tell her you're not interested in anyone right now.
I disagree you should feel no shame In Trying to hide many people have and many people will continue to do so. Everyone is scared it is completely you choice to decide to come out or not. The only thing I could recommend is just ignore them or say "there is this one girl..." I've done that several times.
That's actually what I did but I didn't give names ;P my moms liberal but my dads conservative so I'm not ready to come out thanks thats what im prob gonna do
Sorry to tell you, but hiding the fact that you're gay is really hard. It's like telling a straight person to pretend they're gay, and to keep it up for a long time. Sooner or later, it'll come out by accident. One experience I had, when I was younger, I remember trying hard to convince these two girls in my class that I wasn't gay. Right after I said "Oh no, I'm totally not gay!" a girl walked by and I accidentally thought out loud, "Oh, wow, that girl is really cute." They looked at me side eyed and I continued, "Yeah, so I'm not gay.":lol::roflmao: I'd agree with the others. If you're not ready to come out, just brush off her questions until she just stops asking. 'Cause if you don't, that facade will most definitely break after a while. Good luck!
Just say you're not looking for love at the moment. Blanket statement that gives nothing away. It's not like it's their business anyway.
This is about the best misdirection you can use. You are navigating a complicated area, in that parents response to their kids coming out is unpredictable. In general, honesty is usually the best policy, but you have to consider, at your age, the potential impact of coming out.
