    Hi Rico, welcome aboard. Don't worry about being sure of things, you still have time. I would however recommend that you talk to someone - tell them that you are not sure, that you are wondering if... But definitely tell someone, you need to talk these things through rather than just mulling about them. Maybe EC is a good place, semi-anonymous and very supportive. I would also suggest finding out if there is a gay support-group in the area where you could talk things over without fear of being bullied.

    Hi Rico and welcome to EC! Coming out is hard. It took me quite some time to come out to my sister. EC and talking to others has helped me to overcome that hurdle. Hope you will stick around. Welcome aboard. :slight_smile:
