The only person who knows that I am bisexual is my brother when he caught me masturbating to gay porn :P However, I think my family and friends probably already think I am. I think people notice the way I act and stuff like that and while the way I act may not seem 'gay' to me, it does to them. I know this from the many people who have asked if I was gay :S

for my friends, apparently i was obviously gay...and then i was in the car with my mother, and i asked her if she would love me no matter what. And she said yes...and i told her. She was hurt, but i told her i was gay, and she said well, i'm not going to say you can't date guys, but always look at girls too...(Jokingly, she pretty much said, PLEASE PLEASE AT LEAST BE BI!!!!)
haha, but hell, i'm nothing less than fucking perfect to someone i just hope to meet him...one day

Let it slip when I was having an argument with my friend he's the only one that knows so it's not really coming out.

I found that telling your female friends first is easier they are more understanding and I first told my friend amber my freshman year and basically told all my friends freshman year if the are your true friends they will still love you for who you are no matter what now I'm working up the courage to tell my family

I'm still uncertain with mine but I told an online friend that I might be bi. I only told him because he had came out as being bi (then gay). I'm only sort of out to one person but there are probably several people who think I'm bi or gay.

Told my closest friends, one of whom is a complete dick about it, and the others were supportive or didn't care at all either way. The guy who I'm about to ask out... well our three hours a day of flirting during school should be enough to tell him that ;)

Most assumed it without me having to come out. And by the time I actually started talking about it, they knew. Different story for my parents though.
But I did officially announce it on National Coming Out Day over Facebook. I got the best support from my cousins and friends because of it. But I don't have any conservative friends though, so it wasn't that risky at all.

Well, Ive only came out to my best friends that Im bi. One day I accidently told one of my frineds that I watch gay porn and the day went downhill form there and all my frineds noticed that I was having a bad day. So I came out to 2 of my best frineds. I just explained to them why and stuff and told them to ask any question they wanted to. My one friend asked me 20+ questions and my other friend hasnt really asked any. It has kinda made my one frined alittle skidish around me (he isnt comfortable around gays) but we still talk every day and everything. But overall it has made both of my frinedships better.

I was going through an emotional breakdown about 5 months after joining my new school (secondary school), and someone walked in when i was half calling childline half throwing myself into the corner, and asked what's wrong and i poured out my life story in 10 minutes...including sexuality :p
She's the only friend in the country who knows, i told one of my other friends before the moved to New Zealand, i regret telling her though cause she pretty much ignored me the rest of the time she was in england or delibrately took the piss out of me.

i was tlkin to a fren and accidentally said i was bi. they were like what and i said i was jk and was tryin to get there attention. they shrugged and walked off.
...i didn't think that they believed so i started gettin anxious that they will tell ppl. Later that night a Bffl was txtin me, askin wat was wrong and i kept sayin i cant tell you. They kept askin so i started giving hints and they found out. They excepted it
The other stories r too long to explain and i have like 11 more for the rest of my bffl's
i want a cookie :offtopic:
