HOW TO COME OUT TO A FRIEND?

Question

HOW DO YOU COME OUT TO A FRIEND, during texting. like how do i start the conversation

Answer 1

i don't understand why you would want to text message something to a supposed friend about something that may be very important to you and your friend.  human sexuality and orientation is sensitive enough without trivializing it in a text message. that's my opinion - not a flame or a bash.

start the conversation by saying ' g*y here how r u?'

Answer 2

a way to come out to a friend is tell him or her. but you can't be too sure how you're friend is going to react, even if you're friend seems accepting or not accepting, so when you're ready come out.

Answer 3

It's better if you do it in person. If you do it over a text, he/she might not take you seriously.

Answer 4

Well....talk about a g*y celebrity. And then take the topic from there.

Answer 5

Just type in...WANNA HAVE s*x WITH ME...he'll get the message...lol...just kidding...first of all, the best way is NOT to text him anything...this is something you should tell him when the two of you are alone and you can speak with each other...tell him you thought he should know because the two of you are friends and friends don't 'lie' to each other...  You should also tell him if you are attracted to him...but, let it be his decision as to whether or not he is attracted to you...it's a matter of 'respect'.  If you want to 'respect' each other, both of you should 'respect' each others positions...whether the positions are complimentary or not...  You might also let him know that you have been afraid to say anything to him because you didn't want to lose his friendshilp...  There is a consolation...if he remains your friend...it's as a 'true' friend...and, if he doesn't, then he wasn't a 'true' friend at all...

Answer 6

Well, I came out at first via text messages... I can say that it's very risky, and actually did kinda go wrong for me.

My friend I came out to was a football player/Christian. He was your normal outgoing teen. He had lots of general friends, with a few close friends. I *was* one of those close friends for about a year, the year we had library aide together (what a boring class that was).

The important thing to remember is trust. Do you trust your friend enough to have the privacy in his reaction? Honestly, I wish I would have told my said friend in-person, now. I would have been able to see his ok, but unsure reaction, and maybe prevented a few of my other close friends from later finding out through him.

However, I can say that he helped me speed up the coming-out process. He was just telling both of our close friends something he felt they should know, and luckily, all of my friends accepted me.

Anyway, I don't think you should, however, just make sure it's not going to lead to something you didn't prepare for.

Best of luck, <3

Answer 7

Don't do it over text...

Answer 8

"what do you think about g*y people?"

"what would you do if i was g*y?"

"dude i'm g*y'

Answer 9

while i agree that it SHOULD be done in person, but if your like me and never would have the guts to do it in person, you can always tell them over text, but make sure you are definetly seeing them again sometime soon, its not bad talking about it in person once they already know, i told my best friend through an e-mail, and she was totally cool with it and everything. above people, i highly doubt that this persin wouldnt believe him, not many people go around joking saying im g*y, and don, how do you even know if hes attracted to this person?

Good Luck!
