Never expected this.. :/

[asdfghjkl333]

For some time now, I have been "curious." Like, I was straight and I wanted a relationship with a girl, but I was still curious about the same sex. I never, ever thought that I would be completely gay... Until I met this kid. He is gay and we got to be BEST friends... I have been talking to him for a few months now, and I am starting to develop some serious feelings for this guy. I do not know what to do... I met him in an online chat room and he lives across the country, so a relationship isn't even plausible. He is great and I REALLY like him...

My family would never accept me as gay and the distance thing is an issue, so nothing would ever actually happen, but I feel committed to him in some way... Should I stop talking to him in order to get rid of these feelings or should I just hope that they subside? Please help me, I am desperately confused :/ :confused:

no definatly don't stop talking to him. If you want to just try to keep the conversations friendwise and don't talk about sexual things that way it won't feel wierd for you. it wouldn't be right to completly just forget him and it probably would hurt him as well.

No, do not stop talking to him. That will just make your situation more harder to deal with. You REALLY like this guy. So you will feel empty if you completly remove him from your life. I think you should go with what you are feeling. If you think you are gay...so what? Explore your options and pick the one your are most comfortable with...no need to rush and label yourself (gay, str8, ect.). The curious label is a good neutral stance.

You say you want to stop talking to him so "these feelings" will go away..they won't and you will only be hurting yourself & him in the process. If your family loves you, they will someday accept you for who you are. NOT saying you have to come out to them now, but don't throw away a friendship or love to hide from your feelings. It won't work!

I think this is normal sexuality search, and I think you should just consider your feelings and see if they happen with another plausible guy, and just let fate go I guess, don't fight your own feelings.
