So my friend just told me he is bi a few days ago. I'm trying to be accepting of it but it's sorta really weird for me to be around him now
any advice?

well, is he a different person now? or you just know him a little bit better?
don't give it much thought, and just keep doing everything as before... he is still the same guy you knew, only thing that changed is he trusted you enough to tell you that, and now you know him a tad better

Why do you feel weird around him? He's the same person you've known, so there's no need to feel any different around him or to think of him differently. You should look at this as a good thing because it means he trusts you. Trust is key in coming out to someone, not to mention a big part of having friendship. Eventually, you'll come around to accept it and it will seem like second nature to you. He's no different, he's the same...don't make him feel different.
Just act how you normally act around him and don't try to lean too much on the bisexuality. If you have questions, ask him and I'm sure he'll be more than comfortable to tell. I mean, he told you he was bisexual and that certainly says many things by that action alone. He's your friend and with something like this, I'm sure he'll be more than thankful for your support of him.

he's the same friend as the one you had before. he's no different now. just cuz he's bi doesn't make him attracted to you. he's probably dead nervous that you WILL treat him differently. please don't. just be there for him.

and also know that he did not have to tell you, and he probably wouldn't have if he thought u werent gonna support him (im not sayin u dnt)

He is still the same person he was before, he just likes guys a bit more now. Nothing has changed, don't try to make it too obvious that your trying to accept him, just act the same as you normally would, The only time it will get awkward is if he cracks on to you. Then you tell him your not interested.

Don't feel awkward to be around him he is still your friend like he was before he told you. It took a lot for him to say that to you meaning he trusts you. Just accept him as a friend if you don;t like his preference. I remember when i first came out to my friends almost all of them accepted me and the ones that didn't well lets say i stuck with the people who liked me for who i am not who i like

He's still just a guy an ur mate, hu was obviously trusting enuff to tell u a big secret, so just act normally. If u hav to know anything just ask he already released the bombshell so I'm sure he's confident he can trust u

well. i just told one of my best friends that i'm bi. he was so accepting. and i really think you should be too. i mean it would really mean A LOT to him if you were ok with it. after all, he's still the same person, he just has a new characteristic that you didn't know about before.

Just be as you were before. If you feel like he is going to hit on him, tell him that you aren't interested in him that way. Don't be any different around him.

you need to undertand that he still is the SAME guy that you knew before, just now you know a little more about him. And you should feel awesome thatbhe trusted you enough to tell you one of his biggest secrets. And just don't treat him any different because he is gonna notice and it may hurt his "feelings" so just act like you did neorealism and you will be fine wish ya luck :P
