Coming out of the closet to one of closest friends

[Unsolvedmind]

I don't how I should tell one of my closest friends I am Bisexual, I am scared and scared how he will react and if he will accept me? Can I get som advice?

I would suggest finding a way to bring up the topic without actually saying that your bisexual. See how he reacts and guage it from there. Bring it up in casual conversation and see what he says. If it is positive, then cosider telling him and if it's not, at least you know and maybe you will be to help him come around in his thinking.

You're 14 and I don't really think anyone has a hundred percent guarantee of their sexuality at this age. I just told my friend last friday and I realized I wasn't even sure myself. Considering that it pretty hard to take back the "I'm bisexual" sentence I'd suggest holding off on telling anyone for a while. If you are very damned sure and you can trust this person and don't think he will hate you, then I say go for it!:biggrin:
GOOD LUCK

Well... I would suggest bring up the idea of Bi in a conversation and see if he says he is fine with that. But if u can't do that try to hold off for a while until u get the opportunity to.

Well, I'm 14 and bi as well, and I've come out to a few of my closest friends, and for me, they reacted fine and don't treat me any different, but that's just my friends. But I think the best thing to think about is, do you trust your friend? I know I wouldn't want my friends going around and telling others and spreading rumors. So make sure you trust your friend. Also make sure your friend isnt against being gay/bi, that may cause tension, so like everyone has been saying, bring it up casualy and see. Hope this helps :)

best i advice i can give you is this:

stay loyal to yourself.

if he doesn't accept you, he never liked you. it's not like who you ARE (personality is changing or even attraction are changing). all that's changing is his knowledge of who you like sexually and he already likes that person, whether he wants to admit it or not.

If you do it at all, what I'd suggest doing is asking something along the lines of "What would you say if i told you i was gay?" so that way, you'd have some idea of his reaction before you ask him. (yes, you said Bi, but lets face it, guys think Bi = gay) .

This is really good and you do have great point cause I don't want like the whole school to know I am bisexual and then I get made fun of so I agree with you! :D

well i just told my mate straight [15 btw] we were having a laff and he's like eeee thats gay. so in the end im like: nah, im bi.

and tbh nothings changed so...

Not to sound condescending, but my advice would be to wait a wee bit until you're a little more certain: around 15 or 16, when people are a little more mature and sexuality issues a little more common.

your signature very clearly says that you are PROUD to be bisexual, so maybe you just need to channel that pride to build up the confidence to tell your close friend.
