Question Posted Wednesday November 3 2004, 4:11 pm
Well, to start it off I'm 17/f.. and i'm gay, recently out of denial lol... But since then there's been this girl who you can easily tell by the way she is (short hair, built, style) that she is definitely gay and I'm so incredibly interested in her. But she's a freshman in college and I'm a senior in high school and never see her. We talk here and there onlnie but it's never really personal enough to get into details about her and evertyhing and the convos are 9 times out of 10 cut really short... But to cut to teh chase, I don't think seh knows that I'm gay and I'm not the type of person to just come out and say it, since it's pretty new to me. Do you have any suggestions on how I can get the hint across?
P.S. I plan on going to the college she's at (not b/c she's there but b/c I really liked it and I actually only got to know her better from seeing her there b/c I only knew her from 1 sball game against her) So if you think I should just wait until next year to actually pursue it, that's fine. I just want to know what you think..

If it freaks you out, send the message and then minimize the conversation until you are ready to deal with it. To keep it from sounding like just a random revelation, someone mentioned that you ask about clubs at the college, that's a great thing to do. Trying to come up with subtle ways of getting the message across will just be more complicated. Everyone appreciates honesty and someone who is upfront. Take care and good luck!!!

Or you can continue talking to her until you become comfortable enough with her to bring it up. Use college as an excuse to call her to ask more questions. Hint that you're interested in seeing the campus. Ask her if she'd be able to give you a tour.
When you become more... comfortable (not the best possible word) with your sexuality it might be easier to approach her. Good luck. [ Notso's advice column | Ask Notso A Question ]

ANd if you want to talk to her more, then you could try to hang out sometime, that way you guys kinda have to have more than a short convo.
