Hi Staci,

Telling your family and friends about your sexuality can be very difficult. It may help to start by telling one person that you trust the most to give you the support you need rather than all of your family and friends at once. Once you have this one person behind you, you can build up the confidence to let others know. The reaction you receive depends on how shocked the people you are telling are. If you receive a reaction that upsets you, try to understand that this is a surprise to your loved one and he/she may just need some time to accept it.

If someone is reading this and has experienced this, please leave a comment to help Staci and others who have the same question. :)

Michelle, I can empathize with worrying about how your family will feel. You might read My First Lesbian Relationship. If you don't have someone in your life you can trust with your personal feelings, you might consider a counselor who can help you broach the topic with your family. Thanks for visiting Love To Know Dating.

I commend Nicole for sharing with her family and friends she is attractive to women. As for myself I am fourty and still have kept my feelings inside that I am truly attrative to women. I have a hard time sharing my feelings with my family and friends.My biggest concern is my sixteen year old son and my mother feelings.For Nicole Bravo for you.
