Ok, so lately I've thought about comin out to a couple of different people. But I haven't been able to get their view's on the subject, so I'm not goin to tell 'em till I do. But then one of my friends & I started talkin, and we got on the subject of people bein gay, & she's completely cool with it. So I got to thinkin that I could tell her. Cause I know that she would be very accepting of me. (Note: I haven't known her for a super long time, just like a few months since she moved here, But she's told me that I'm 1 of 2 people here that she's comfortable with, 1 of the 2 people she can be herself around) I just don't know how to do it. I was thinkin that I could start talkin to her, then I could bring up the topic of people bein gay, then be like "I think I might be bi." But every time I think about talkin to her about it, I get too nervous, & I just don't even talk. I don't know 1st off: how do I get rid of the butterflies in my stomach & just talk to her about the subject of people bein gay. & 2nd off: Is how I'm thinkin bout tellin her sound fine. ( If you feel you have a better way for either of those things I'm very open to hearin them)

what i did was i told my friend that i wanted him to keep a secret. i told him and he was fine with it. if she is cool with gay people then tell her. it doesnt matter how long you know someone only that you kno you can trust them. and you have to work around the butterflies its hard but its worth it

The butterflies part will happen for the first few people you tell, mostly because you're worried how they will react. Can't do much really other than give it time or try to be more relaxed. When you tell her, just don't beat around the bush. Its hard to take people serious when they can not get to the point. Best of luck to you, hopefully your friend takes it well :)

Thanks everyone. I actually just told her an hour ago. She accepted me right when I told her (actually I texted her) But then she told me that She was bi too. & that I was the first person she told since she moved here (she was the 1st person I told too)

you're lucky, i trusted the wrong type of friend and all kinds of embarrassing happened. She told the guy that i had/have (not really sure anymore) that i like him when she was drunk, SHE IS 14, she kept blabbing about it in math and everyone many around us that she told got involved and the worst part: the guy sits next to me in that class, point being: good to tell people about being gay/bi/whatever, not such a good idea telling a blabbermouth who loves gossip your crush, if you tell them to delete texts, they might not, that was the week i started and stopped smoking. read more about in blog if you wish
