How to Tell Best Friend I'm Gay?

[TaylrJ]

I am 15, and bi. I am in love with someone who I think is gay. No body knows it though. My best friend is dying to know but I just can't tell her. I am saying stuff like "It's difficult." "I can't right now." "Gimme some time to deal with it." "It's not the same of how I liked everyone else, this is different." A LOT of stuff like that. Most of them hints. She has told me a lot of stuff in the past few years. We are very close and she tells me just about everything. She got very, very mad at me for not telling her. I just haven't had a good enough answer and reason why.

I want to though. I want to tell her who I am in love with is someone who is the same sex. I want to tell her I am bi just so someone would know. Why can't I? I am afraid it'll make things awkward with this person I've known for over 11 years! Have you been through something similar? What should I do? Thanks..

Hey TaylrJ, speaking from experience, I've told 4 of my girl friends and not one of them was upset.. I also did the same thing you did and told them i had a crush.. I had to keep it a secret for far to long. Then one day i figured, what the heck, and just texted one of them telling them that I am gay. I will warn you now, since youve never told anyone that you are bi, you will be sort of in a daze after you tell her. Also, it will be a bit awkward from anywhere from a day to a week, but i assure you your friendship will remain the same.
Good Luck!

Just tell her "I'm bi" like it's not the biggest deal in the world, but still matters.

You weren't expecting us to tell you to make big, pink cards decked out with pink flamingoes and rainbow shitting unicorns to mail to everyone...right?
