There's this girl I met a year ago. She's really pretty, smart, nice, and really funny. I really like her, and I may be delusional but I like she might like me or even just girls in general. I want to talk to her but I have social anxiety. I want for her to like me, like that, but I don't want my family to know that I'm not straight. I don't give a crap about anyone else at my school knowing, but my older, homophobic brother goes to my school. It's also a really small town and word gets around. I don't know what I just wrote, but if you could help me it would be great. :icon_bigg(!)
Maybe just talk to her and get to know her as a friend first? That won't arouse any suspicions among your family will it? I would say the first step is probably gathering the courage to speak to her.
Talk to her. You don't have to come out until you're ready. It could be dos ke to play off a potential relationship as being good friends.
