...I told the first person tonight.
It wasn't planned that way, and I don't plan on telling everyone first thing tomorrow morning, but I've finally admitted it to someone other that myself.
My and my friend were talking online and she was especially pushy about asking me who I liked. I just told her I wasn't going to tell her because it would change things, and that it didn't concern her. She kept saying that if I told her, she could help me talk to the person and maybe start some sort of relationship (can't you already tell she's a good friend?). Anyway, after I resisted for about an hour, she told me that "it doesn't matter who you like, i know you can't choose who you like, i won't tell anyone and it won't change our relationship." So I said back, "You've basically got it figured out, don't you?" and she replied, "...still no"
So to prove that it wasn't difficult, she said, "I like [her boyfriend]. Now its your turn." And I replied, "Not so easy. Mines actually also a guy."
At first she thought I was joking. Her first response was "Yo I'm good," meaning, she was cool with it, but she didn't believe me. I always thought that when I told someone, they would be like "FINALLY! You couldn't admit that a YEAR ago?" But she was shocked. As the minutes passed though, she admitted to me that it was starting to make sense.
After agreeing to never make a pass at her boyfriend (who is a close friend of mine) and clearing up the fact that I really do not think Michael Phelps is hot (he's got a great body, but that face?) I can honestly say that not much has changed.
Then of course I had to clear up all of the times that I've hooked up with females, telling her that just because I like a guy doesn't mean that I can't also be with girls. I told her if I had to put a label on it, it would be bi, but I don't really like to look at it that way. I'd rather see it as, this way, there's twice as many fish in the sea. There's a whole lot of people on both sides that are not my type.
It feels refreshing, but I'm fucking terrified to see her tomorrow.
As of right now, I've managed to avoid answering the question of who it actually is that I like.
