When I came out to someone in person for the first time I was in the car with two of my close friends. I had just developed a crush on a girl for the first time and even though I knew I had no chance I wanted to go to this music event that I knew she was going to attend and I asked my friends to come along. It felt like I was lying to them so I said, “I don’t want to go there only for the music, I have a crush” — here my friend said, “I knew it! Who is he?” — “and the reason I haven’t told you is because it’s a girl.” They were surprised but very supportive and the positive reaction was an important step in me accepting myself as bisexual.
