    Hi, obviously I'm new here. Well, to start things off, I'm a lesbian. I 'used to' came out when I was in high school when a friend of mine came out and announced that he was gay (yeah, I 'used to'). After not hanging with my high school friends for a long time, when I did reached college I did not tell anyone about my orientation that I was attracted to females. So I'm now back in the closet again.

    Last year I told my bestest friend who was a guy that I was lesbian and he obviously didn't care and tried to date me, which was supposed to be a big no-no for me :eusa_doh:, but I went along with him anyways. Anyway, now during the summer I set things clear and have no involvement with him whatsoever (due to me finally avoiding the guy issues which I wasn't supposed to be involved in, in the first place). After thinking about it, I actually felt bad about forcing myself into these 'know-it-will-never-work' relationships, instead of feeling bad for him.

    However, I plan to come out once I'm back in school again, after my summer break is done (at least come out to my closest friends and having the courage to finally join a lgbt or queer/straight alliance community team).
    Anyways, I hope all turns out well. And I would be delighted to meet and get to know new friends here. Please keep me welcome.

    Hello welcome to EC!! I know the need to come out is sometimes depressing but then it is the only way to let other people understand who you really are. So I admire you're courage to do it not all people who are in the same boat would do such things. Good luck with joining alliances..I hope it turns out well. :grin:
