So my parents are supportive, and I've come out to my mom, but Idk why but I'm scared to tell my dad. I'm, pretty sure he'll say "cool" and accept it but at school is the tough bit because I am a Bi man and might have feelings for a friend (Male) but I don't know tbh, and I think other people at school know I'm bi, but I don't know, funny thing is that there was a rumor that me and my friend were dating a few years ago and now its beginning to resurface.
Any advice?

Honestly, for coming out, just do it. I might sound corny, but don’t wait. Opportunities don’t always come. Don’t get caught up in the “what if they don’t…” or the “what if it ends badly.” Try think “if I do, then this good thing comes from it” that’s what I do when I’m scared of the out come. Be open and do your best.
Rooting for ya
Well depending on your school and how it is, if you feel its safe to come out, do so, but if you think it might not end out well then I suggest you dont. But if you arent really sure whether its safe to or not I'd probably leave subtle hints, enough to get ideas but not enough for them to make anything out of it
sometimes people will ask or something and usually the tone or other factors may show how supportive or non supportive they are
and the situation with liking your friend, it really depends on how they are, if you know theyre sexuality that helps, aswell as how they treat their emotions. Knowing how they treat their emotions espcially towards you can help you know if they have an attraction towards you
Yeah I don’t know their sexuality, but thanks for the advice anyways!
oh well if you ever find out or see any hints that can help
but you can always talk to me if you need anything !! <33
Tomorrow I'm going to try "testing the waters" with my friend. Any tips for such subtle actions?
I've done testing the waters before, what I suggest
you make a joke like "people think that were dating" and see how he reacts like if hes uncomfortable or anything
Maybe try doing things with jsut you too and see if he enjoys spending that extra time with you, depends on how comfortable more close things
and the last thing I also did was make comments which were life but a little more personal like I told my crush " I like hanging out with you since its so easy to be myself around you" and see if they give the same energy back
I literally saved this advice on a flipping doc and actually using it 😭
Hmm, I may or may not be doing the exact same thing...
But seriously, thank you so much.
LOL
ofcc Im always here to help!
You found out anything?
Nothing with my sister yet, she's kind of angry at me for some reason, but with my friend, it's going pretty good, I think Ive been getting good vibes from him and he seems more chill around me now. I was able to ask him, "Do you remember that rumor from a few years ago that people thought we were dating?" "Yeah, what about it?" He replied, "Oh its just resurfacing again." I said back. He said "Well, if they have an issue, then they have an issue" (OMG I WAS DEFINITELY BLUSHING)
OH EM GEEEE
STOPPP
the "they can have an issue"
EEEEEE
also Im assuming you confessed to him, Im sometimes a little slow idk why 😭
but if hes chill with you and you resurface the idea of being shipped and hes defending it
I think he likes you
so
if your feeling comfy, confess
and see how it does
and tell me if you feel comfortable
and no matter what choice you choose, this server will always support youuu
I know it's been a long time, but I'm planning on confessing tonight (It's almost 4:00 for me btw). I've invited him over to my house, and I'll kinda just take the plunge, but however it pans out, I know he'll still be accepting we've had a close bond for a while, and he's not the type to not be my friend anymore just because I like him. (I'M SO SCARED BUT EXCITED)
OOOO IM SO SOOOOOOOO PROUD OF YOUUUUU
If you ever need to, you can tell me how it goes and if you need anything!!
for some reason the moment he said he’ll come over it just started pouring rain and it continued raining until like 7:00 for me so plans didn’t work out today, but I’m hoping for tomorrow!
ooo okay
You're emotional support Susan is here if anything! 🫡 🫡
I am also here if thyn havth emotional problems:)
I know it’s been a long time, but plans didn’t line up for a while nonetheless, I finally did it today and he seemed completely fine with it it was pretty awkward beforehand, but I was really ecstatic afterwards he came over to my house for this but I had to leave 20 minutes after the fact. But yeah, this next step went well! (you can’t tell by what I wrote, but I am LITERALLY JUMPING WITH JOY)
Congrats!!
sorry Im not too active here, but OMG I AM SO DAMN PROUD OF YOUUUUU
