should i just do it

[teenmanchester]

Hey, well my original plans to tell my mum im gay fell through lol. But now im wondering should i tell my friend im gay. She's my age, known her since september and she herself has had a lot of experience with guys. I really like her and think shes a gd friend to have and i probably wouldnt have considered it although i remember at the new yrs eve party i was at, I was drunk and said i was gay and she was the only person who looked like she noticed so I'm wondering should i tell her? She's having a bbq this friday so that maybe a gd place to say it? Thanks for reading guys

If you trust her and value your friendship then yes, maybe that would be a good place to start. Maybe not somewhere in public though, somewhere where it's just the two of you and she can have time to process it because she might make a scene.

That's what I did yesterday just straight up told her

I don't think I can say if you should come out or not.

Everywhere is so different you don't know how the community will act. Chances you tell her, it will be a matter of time before another knows and another. So be careful of this.

Overall do what you want. Its you life and to be honest I cannot tell you what to do or when to do it. Just live your life they way you want to live it and if you want to tell her go a head.

Hope it goes well for you with whatever you choose to do.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I think when starting the 'coming out' process, friends are the best place to start. If you're comfortable with telling her and you think she's the kind of girl who wouldn't have a problem with your sexuality, I think you should take the leap! Girls tend to be very accepting of guys anyway, so I think you'll be fine. :)

thanks for the advice, she's definitely fine with sexuality as is most people i know and that are in my college environment, we even have a friend who's bisexual in the group who ive also considered telling but would rather tell her, i have a free house this weekend so maybe i can talk to her about it then? have to wait and see :)

As long as you think you are ready, and comfortable, then do it; ease into it, and if shes a good friend she should be accepting. I wish you luck with telling her.:)
