    Hey Everyone!

    I have been on EC many times to check out the forums for any advice that I could get. I have finally built up the courage to register. I welcome any help I can get! I have questioned whether or not I was gay since high school but have lived in a very conservative town my entire life so I am not out to anyone. I have also never been in a relationship with anyone, man or woman, which is very lonely. I recently moved out to California for a job for a few months and have decided that I really need to take advantage of this opportunity to potentially try to live the life I haven't been able to back home. I feel like I have finally come to terms with being gay. It has taken me a long time. I want to come out to my family and friends desperately but am afraid of the reactions I will get. I wish people would just ask me because I feel like I am at a point in my life where I could just say "yes, I am gay" rather than bring it up myself. I am hoping these forums will help me build up the courage I need to live the life I want!
