    How long do you think you should be certain about your sexual orientation before you come out to friends? I know it depends on the friends, and the person, but I think my friends would be okay with it I just don't know how long I should wait before saying anything? :confused:

    Thanks for your help in advance :wink:

    I think you answered your own question. It really depends on you. How comfortable are you with yourself? Are you actually ready to tell people? If the answers are very and yes, then go ahead and tell people. There's no set waiting period. If you feel like you're ready, then you are.

    As long as you feel comfortable enough to tell them and do want to tell them, you're good to go.

    Thanks for your help! Un-fortunately one of my friends found out without me actually telling them (oops)! They took it well though, and it's kind of made me feel okay about telling some other people in the distant future.
