don't tell anyone until you are ready.. but also remember it is nothing to be ashamed of either. You are who you are and people will like you for you and not your sexuality.Quote:

Bry - you don't have to tell anyone anything until you WANT to! Its your life, your decisions and unless you are in a relationship with someone, why worry about telling anyone? At the mo, it seems you are curious more than anything, which I think is something pretty much everyone goes through in life (including myself).
And if you fall in love with another guy, then be proud and shout it from the rooftops - true friends will always be there for you no matter what. Those that aren't - they aren't worth it and they certainly aren't friends x x
I agree with Jojo, talk about it when you are ready and don't worry about those that will judge you on your sexuality rather than personality.
Things are going alright. He seems to think it's working out but our relationship is very awkward as we only see each other on weekends or once every few weeks, plus he lives a fair distance away and we are having a relationship behind our parents' backs. I still haven't told them and I feel quite upset about that. I feel guilty for not telling them about me or my relationship and going behind their backs, but I have tried telling my mum numerous times but I just can't tell her. I don't want to hurt my parents because I love them both and I really want to tell them, but I just can't. :( I have wrote a letter though as I feel that might be easier, and I might leave it somewhere for my mum to find and go away for a few days, so she can take the news in.Quote:

It's only a small part of you and doesn't change your personality or your overall individuality at all.
I came out to my mum today - she was fine with it. I am so happy. I was starting to get stressed bottling it up but now I feel free in a weird way.. :) She told me she doesn't care who I am but to not label myself too quickly as my feelings may change or I will just feel these things forever... I told her I am sexually attracted to men and think I always will be and she said she couldn't give a monkeys. :p so yay. :cheer:
Well done! :D
Awwww nice one Dave! I'm really glad sh was good about it! So proud of you hun xxxxx
I think we can all relate to telling somebody something we are not sure about how they are going to take the news, so very well done Dave. :thumbsup:
Well done Dave. I'm proud of you for finding the courage to talk to your mum, and proud of your mum for her reaction.
:thumbsup:
