Well I've been thinking about this for a very long time and after about a year or so I feel like I actually might be bi. I want to tell my best friend that i could be bi to get it off my chest, but I secretly have what I feel is a major crush on him. Hes very understanding and the type of person you could tell anything, but I still feel like I should just keep it to myself.

Any tips....

Tell him your bi, but not about the crush unless he is as well (openly).

It'll most likely strengthen your relationship with him, and give you guys more to talk about. Not to mention, it's better to have a friend that knows.

and then

If he is truly your best friend, then he should be willing to stand there with open arms ready to support you. I would keep the the whole crush quiet to let your friend sink in that you are bi for a while, though.

i strongly agree with smotpoker
probably not a good idea to tell him about ur crush just yet

definitly tell him ur bi even if he ain't completely comfortable with it it will help relieve some of ur anxes but like the others say keep the crush to urself if its wiser.

I think you should tell him you are bi. It is difficult but it does relieve some anxiety. I can tell you from experience. When I discovered I was gay, I was having a hard time accepting it. I told my best friend despite the fact I still was uncomfortable with my sexuality. He told me that he didn't feel any different and that he accepts me. Nothing is a better feeling that being loved and appreciated, despite the fact you are part of a community that is hated and discriminated against, and is often a tabooed subject.
But I would rather keep the fact you have a crush on him a secret if I were you. It takes time for the news to settle if somebody came out to you. It would just make it more difficult if you said you had a crush on him. So yeah, I would suggest rather keep it to yourself.

Yeah. Unfortunatly being gay is no longer about loving a person about the same sex. Now it is about joining the crowd because everyone else is doing it. It's total bullshit in a opinion. You are either gay or you not.
But yeah, if he is truely your friend, he will understand and care for you unconditionally.
Don't worry fellow LGBT brother, it will all work out in the end.

I told him today and he was completely cool about it, I feel so much better now.

Thanks everyone!

Congratulations man! It's a really amazing feeling once it's off your shoulders. I told my mom in March I was bi, she took it well. It feels great.

Glad your friend took it well.

yea your rite

Hey man.

A great feeling, isn't it? Congrats, just remember, be yourself, no matter what. Life is too short to worry about useless bigots who take out their frustrations on other people because they did not make something of their lives.
That friend of yours seems like a realy nice guy, I think stick with him. He is one of those people you should always keep close when you need help.

so does that mean you told him that you have a crush on him, or youjust outted yourself? either way - congrats and you have bigger balls than me. haha

I did this when i was like 15 and told my best friend i was and in the end i ended up fu**ing her. Was awesome. Congrats on telling your bestie though!! Hopefully he feels more special and closer to you know that you have told him
