help me-talking with a freind

[DerBlaueEngel]

well normally i can do this all bymyself, but this is to a freind of mine i like. im bisexual and a guy-and my freind thinks im 100% straight. he says he dosnt mine bi's or gays. but then he also says there is no such thing as bi-yur gay or not. how can i tell him im bi? :bipride: :three:

Instead of trying to tell him you are bi, why not start by having a conversation on the fact that you believe that people can have attraction to either or both sexes. Then the natural progression would be to admit to him you are in fact bi yourself.

i would, but i dont know hwd id even start that without it being awkward. thus my problem continues kinda. i like him, and i have my reasons to think he is bicuriouse. but i wont do anything. i wus his first freind when he moved here and he has become my best freind. and i want to tell him-but like i said i have no clue how lol

What you could do is raise a conversation about a famous person's sexuality or their alleged favourite sexual practices, or wait until something is reported in the media and begin with some open-ended questions ...

I know EXCATLY how you feel :)
My mom pretty much said what your friend said... she also said "people who claim to be bisexual are really just VERY CONFUSED people."
Ok, maybe some people do just put on a show and aren't serious (etc girls kissing just to please a crowd of boys and thier boyfriends)

But I personally believe people can be attracted to BOTH gender... they aren't limiting themselfs to just men or just women. They like both... more for them than the ones who just like 1 gender.

With me and my mom... the only way to deal with it was to agree to disagree and not speak of it again. Works.
So you could tell your friend that its ok if he doesn't believe people can be bisexual... but you do and you are one. And you'll rather just agree to disagree since even friends don't have to agree with everything you say/do but the REAL ones will say "ok, lets just agree to disagree and not talk about it again"
Cause to them, you're still the same person you were before you came out. If they make it clear they don't want you to hit on them, then don't. respect that.

To expand on what Joe said, you could pick a celebrity you both think is hot (Drew Barrymore or Angelina Jolie for instance) and start with 'Hey did you hear about <fill in the blank>?' and just take it from there.
