Tell your friends right away. If they really care about you, they will understand. If they don't, they don't deserve to be your friend.

I think you should tell your friends they will understand if they are your friends. I feel the same way cause i don't know if i'm like that or not. They should love you for who you are and not judge you. So just tell everything to them and don't be afraid.

I find questions like these pretty strange.

I wouldn't advertise my sexuality. It isn't anyones business. I mean, your actions would speak for themselves and if your "friends" question you on them, tell them what you think you need to tell them.

Whenever your friends are around you should wahck it in front of them. They'd figure it out sooner or later.

I'm bisexual myself and telling my friends and the people around me was the best thing that happened to me. There's more support in them than you would think.

If your friends don't accept you for who you are then they aren't very good now are they? Just make it clear that you're not after them. Good luck. Keep it real.

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."
awww don't worry hun loads of people go through that, I did too (I'm gay) - telling my friends was great; they were so supportive and understanding, and one of them was homophobic but knowing we dont all go around being "bum bandits" changed his mind altogether about gay and bisexual people!

Try telling your best friend(s) first and make them feel flattered to know; emphasise the trust involved with you telling them and I'm sure it'll go well :-)

Good luck!

You can try "testing the waters" a little around your friends. If you are somewhere and see a magazine cover with a person of your gender whom you find attractive, comment on it. If they agree "yeah, He/she's good-looking" then they'll probably be okay with it. If they say something asinine like "what are you, gay or something?" then you should probably look for some new friends who are not bigoted.

Forget about telling them, I reckon you should proceed directly to the anal sex.

Learn to use grammar while you're at it.
ya im a gurl and im not really sure if im into like gurls or guys but like im more into guys but sometimes i find myself cheaking out gurls which is really strange....
What are friends really. I have no one really.
Ocourse I know many people but friends is only a word. paula
I don't see any reason why it is necessary to reveal personal matters to friends. If you wish to tell close ones then go ahead. As you grow older, you will come to see that a lot of things are better off kept private and not shared. Your sexuality is a very private issue and is no ones business but your own. If you want to share it to weed out those who support you and those who don't, then proceed. Realize there is good and bad that will come of it. Good luck.
Personally I'm Bi and none of my friends know because they're all racist bast*rds and Bit*hes...Mainly due to the area,Most people don't like "other things" introduced into their "perfect" communtiy but it's very small minded so only tell them if their not prejuiced.

(I need to check my spelling...)
How do I answer yes or no to this? lol

Try phrasing your posts as questions. For example, "I'm bisexual and I want to tell my friends how I feel, but I don't know how they'll react, so I keep putting off telling them. Is this normal?"

As for telling your friends. It's your decision. That's a personal thing they don't need to know, but if they are true friends then no excessive bad should come from telling them.
Comparing bisexual men and bisexual women is apples and oranges, kids.

Research suggests that men have a much more "concrete" sexual orientation than women, the latter of whom are more likely to go through phases of attraction to men, women, or both. When a man is attracted to both men and women, it's more likely to be a lifelong orientation. It's also something that may not be tolerated by the larger society.

As a result, I suggest you be careful about whom you disclose this information to. If you live in a place that's highly intolerant and/or homophobic, you may suffer some serious consequences.

That said, you also need social support from people who love you. Seek out those people (whether in your family, your social network, or from groups Bisexual Resource Center - biresource.org, or PFLAG - Parents & Friends of Lesbians and Gays).
Hey sisophous:

I'm guessing that you're straight. The reason I know that is that you're laboring under the impression that this person's sexual orientation is some kind of "fetish," roughly like somebody who's into ladies under garments.

Do you go around flaunting your heterosexuality? If you're not sure, consider these questions:

- Do you wear a wedding ring?
- Do you have a picture of your wife/husband on your desk at work?
- Do you tell your friends things like, "My wife/husband and I are going to Las Vegas on vacation this summer."
- Do you file your income taxes as a "Married Couple"?
- Do you sleep in the same bed with your spouse?

If you answered YES to any of the above, please keep those private matters to yourself, and stiffle your pathological need to flaunt your sexual orientation. Certain things should be kept private, and your need to engage in sex with someone of the opposite gender is not something we're interested in.
I'm bi too, i've only told 2 of my closest friends and they accepted me, so honestly just tell your closest friend/friends.
being bi is awesome
haters, please get terminal diseases
bi ppl are cool
gay ppl are cool
straight ppl (who don't hate) are cool
You're cool
end of story
if your friends are truly your friends, they'll accept you
