Emmabobemma Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Okay so I have this friend at school who is non-binary and lesbian and thinks I’m straight-I’m bi. A few days after knowing them, they said they liked me. I was like I’m straight and not really interested-I wasn’t at the time- and they were like ok cool you know whatever. So anyways we’ve known each other for about six months and we ft a lot and talk and now they have a different crush who goes to a different school. But now I like them. But they don’t like me back. Also they think I’m straight. So I know that most likely nothing will happen and I will get over the feeling but I really like them. It took me a while to like own up and say that I like them. Like to myself. Because I knew I liked them I just didn’t want that to happen because that would suck but I did so I tried to pretend I didn’t but I like them a lot so I’ve been frank with myself. And I’m friends with them and I don’t want to mess that up. I don’t know it’s really just a mess and I wanted to rant about it.

If you do feel that you want to say something, I would have a 1-1 chat and don't mention anything about liking them but open up about how you identity - this would them remove any pressure. What do you think? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmabobemma Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 That’s probably a good idea. I know they would support me but the idea of coming out to someone is scary in general. It might take me a minute to prepare myself for it but I feel like I could come out to them. I feel like they would keep it a secret too and I know I can trust them. Thanks.

It sounds like they're a great person too! MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey there, I'm going to jump in and take over from Blondie if that's okay? :) How are you feeling about telling them? You will have to let us know how it goes!
