    Hey guys

    So, I'm just gonna come right to the point:
    I have an internet friend that I have been texting with for a long time and I kind of lied to him. We were talking bout lgbtq+ things (which he is okay with) and all sudden he asked if I'm straight. So I didn't rly know what to say and I wasn't comfortable with telling him that I'm gay (that rhymed hahah(and also, I don't like the word lesbian, so I'll just say gay female)) so I just told him that I'm straight.
    At this point I rly want to tell him the truth but what if he has a crush on me? I ofc don't want to hurt his feelings...
    The reason why I think he likes me is that it feels like he's flirting with me but can't tell. It's also weird to ask... what should I do?
    And sry if something doesn't make sense in this text, english isn't my first language

    If you are only scared that it would hurt his feelings, you should do it. Reason being is that if he did like you, it might feel to him as if you “lead him on” by saying you were straight, if the time comes for him to find out. I think if he knew it wouldn’t work it won’t hurt much as if he thought chances existed. If you are comfortable with coming out to him, id say you should! :grin:

    Thank you for your answer!
    Well I am kind of scared too, even if I know he would be okay with it...
    A part of me says do it but the other part have some doubts bout it
