Coming out to my straight [male] friend today

Congrats! Glad it went well, and good luck with telling the next ones.
 
Awesome result. Congratulations, that's great news.

Although you don't realise it, when you're in the closet you're hiding something from your friends, and they can pick up on it, even if they don't know what it is. Friends can be confused and alienated when they sense you aren't entirely open with them. When I came out to my friends, it made our friendships much stronger, and I'll bet it does for you too.
 
Way to go!! its all smooth sailing hopefully from here on in. I bet you feel a huge sense of relief huh? my only regret is that I waited til I was in my late 20's to do it.
Congrats dude! :):=D:
 
Told another one of my good friends today, knew him from high school but we go to college together and hang out basically every day. At first I didn't know how well he was taking it, his face was really 'shocked' looking and he kept staring into 'deep space' (thinking, i guess) while i was talking.... after he left i had texted him and didn't get a response for like 2 hours but he was cool about it and said he was glad i told him, that he wouldn't tell any of our other friends and he understood why i wanted to tell them myself. He also said that he respects me more than i know which was like sooooo good to hear! hell yeah this is going better than expected.
thats two down!
 
I'm really happy for you.
Funny when you read someone else's story you think: "Well that's only normal, he's your friend".
But thinking about my own situation I'm scared about it...

I'm going to do the same thing tonight.
Invited a good friend/colleague for dinner together with his wife (figured it woudl be easier for them and me if both know at te same time).
Reasons for telling him
1) I feel like he's (could be) a great friend, and I need to be hounest to him to allow our friendship/partnership (he's my partner at my lawfirm) to grow
2) During my last weeks in the closet (I was really miserable) he picked up on me being depressed, and asked me what was wrong. Even texted me, asking if I was mad/dissapointed at him. I said I didn't want to talk about it. Just before the weekend (when I was going to tell my parents) I told him that I wanted to talk to him next week (wanted to tell my family first).

So, here I go... 2 hours to go :help:
