my best friend and i are really goofy and we goof around to make our super conservative friends uncomfortable. but she is not a lesbian and im not sure what i am...i just really like making awkward situations so it wasnt like i was hitting on her or anything. but she shares everything with me and i tell her everything too...but this (the fact that i am questioning my sexuality) i have not told her. i think it will be extremely awkward because we goof around like we love each other (in a homosexual way, cause we do love each other as friends). when we were in mexico...we were both really drunk and we played "are you nervous yet". and she always asks me "sex?" when we are bored or have nothing to talk about...just to fill the silence. she has a boyfriend and i know that she is not a lesbian, but i am afraid that i might be. but i dont have a crush on her or anything...it will just be awkward because i feel that she might think i did/do. i came out to someone a week ago...not my best friend although i wanted to...but a friend that i dont talk to often. which is weird, but i knew that he would be ok with it and supportive. but now i know i want to tell my friend, because she tells me everything and i feel like i owe it to her. and i just want to live my life without worrying about other people's opinions...but i dont want to come out just yet....but i want to tell her. i know i dont really personally know anyone on this site and this is just a smidge of detail of our friendship...but what do you all think? im thinking about talking to her this weekend...but im probably going to chicken out...i just need some support i guess. sorry that was really long, but i needed to get my feelings out there. thanks.

" Oh that's a tough one. Well, the best thing I can suggest is that you bring up the subject of sexuality in general conversation. Ask her what she thinks of it? Then maybe you can go from there? "

" She's already told me that she loves me and that she wouldn't care if I was a lesbian, because I'm her best friend. But I am worried that it will be different in reality. And she always says stuff like "God, were perfect for each other, too bad we arent lesbians" and I think to myself IRONY. haha. buuut...ill probably find some reason not to tell her. "

" hey. i think you should just go ahead and tell her. it seems to me like she'd be fine with it. when i told my friends they said they already knew, so maybe it could be like that. "

" Me and my best friend were the same way, when I came out to her, she said "well, at least one of us has to be!" Nothing changed, except I had someone to talk to about girls. "

" Me and my best friend were the same and when I came out to her (she is one of my only friends that knows im bi) she said she had gussed ages ago, i even admited i used to fancy her, she didnt have a problem with it and we are closer than ever, shes incredibly flirty and has since admited she is bi-curiouse. This however has caused some other problems but thats a whole differant story.I think you should tell her, its incredibly stressfull not too and she probably already knows and it wont change anything as long as you are both clear on what you want (unlike me and my friend) "

" Well if you tell you'll have to say goodbye to the "goofing around" because for some reason being homossexual is an image wrecker and if you go "goofing" with her people will start rumours and eventually she'll hear them and be angry at you to the point she'll never speak to you again. Anyways there will be an adaption period where you and your friends will go through some akward moments and making questions. Just don't bring someone from the other side of the fence. "

" I tried to come out to my mom when I was 10. I knew down deep that while having sleepovers with Matt and Adam that wanting to caress their skin and spoon with then while they slept was anything but normal. I tried...it sounded some thing like this.
"Mom, I like Matt."
"That's nice, honey," she said.
"No I like like him."
"Well, invite him to your birthday party," she said, "Go play."

Then when I was 12 I awoke being kissed and kissing Adam. He looked at me and we got naked. I knew for sure then when he hugged me that I felt comfortable. I came out to mom again. She laughed with my Aunt Gail at the table and I cried and ran to my room. She said she always knew. She knew before I was born that I was different. She said I would dance in the womb to Helen Reddy: I am woman.

I'm always coming out. I came out this week. Ms. Cairn asked me if my fashion sense was a little heightened. I said: "Its called the HOMO SENSE, Ms. Cairn." She blushed and told me God would deliver me if I asked him. He delivered me alright...straight to the Abercrombie & Fitch catalog. OMG!

My roommate woke me up a few minutes ago. He asked if he could sleep with me. Max is hot. I'm not sure if he is gay or not but I told him I was and he said good night and closed his eyes to sleep. He wear pajamas. X-men. And I know sometimes he has boners under them. I'm having trouble sleeping now. All I want to do if kiss him. His breath smells so good. He's warm. And he's in my bed. He doesn't care if I am gay. He said "Cool" and closed his eyes.

I don't know who I will have to come out to tomorrow. Mr. Riley saw my Abercrombie & Fitch catalog. He said he like the art. Mr. Riley is my photography teacher and he runs the Yearbook staff. Maybe I'll come out to him tomorrow just for shock value. "
