text: im about to do it? i think i am gay and i think the first person i am going to tell is my best friend. i have no idea how she will react, i dont want her to think i am trying to get with herand stuff. but the other thing is, is that a lot of people think she is gay. sometimes i wonder to but i am really scared of her reation. best friends are good to start out with, her first reaction most likely won't be, "does she want to get with me?" you can never know for sure how people will react though, until you tell them, build up the courage and go for it, you'll be fine i told my best friend who was homophobic, but he did like a 180 when he found out, it was scary i'll admit, but i did it, and i'm still alive i hope this all works out for you, good luck!!!!
