RealEyesSeeRealLies answered Friday February 18 2005, 5:38 pm: Okay listen girlfriend...Might be hard to take in at once, but obviously she wasnt ya friend for real....b/c if she was why is she acting this way? Theres isnt a reason for her to do that..ok yea it might've been a shock to her but it had to be hard for you too! You've gone this long & never hit on her (right) so why is she worried? you should probably joke around with her & be like "ur safe! your not my type"..you dont gotta use those words exactly..My best friend on 3 years just told me the same about her! We still have sleep overs & all that good stuff.I've never thought anything different of her. If you need to talk get at me! Im all ears!!

But if she wants to stop hanging with you just cause your bi, then is she really you're friend? [ hotchik359359's advice column | Ask hotchik359359 A Question ]
an answered Friday February 18 2005, 9:48 am: well it seems she can't accept you the way you are so you could tell her if she doesnt like you that way it's her problem and you could stop talking to her.
S_C answered Friday February 18 2005, 8:04 am: She's going the be uncomfortable around you for a small amount of time. This is something for the both of you to get used to. Maybe she's afraid that you'll fall in love with her, or that you'll try something with her, and she's not that way so she doesn't want anything to ruin the friendship. Reassure her that you aren't into her like that (unless of course you are, then I don't know what to say) tell her how you feel. Tell her you know it's not intentional, but that you feel like you're no longer wanted, that you feel really hurt now. And if you can't trust your best friend with something like this, who can you trust. Tell her in a note or in IM, or face to face if you don't want anyone else to see/hear what you say... what you told us. Just let her know how you feel, and that you aren't any different. That you were still bisexual before you told your friend, but at that time you felt couragous enough to come out. There's not really much more I can say. I heard about a friend who I had thought was straight (until she met this other girl and they were hanging out a lot) that she was bi, and I acted the same around her. Most likely your friend was either brought up to be a homophobe, or your friend is afraid you're going to like put the moves on her. Just let her know that it isn't like that. Sorry if my advice isn't that good. Hope it did help though. Good luck with your friend :-) [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]

XxLovedXAndXLostXx answered Friday February 18 2005, 1:58 am: I just admitted to my parents and close friends that I myself was Bisexual. Alot of people acted werid around me. It's human nature, when things change and people don't like it. Your friend might also be worried that you may like her. But if you don't then you need to tell her that and mabye she will understand, hopfully she will. Good Luck
Miz_Jenny answered Thursday February 17 2005, 11:58 pm: anyone who treats you in that way are just what they claim you are. dont ever listen to negative comments your friends may say about your sexual orientation. if you friend cannot cope with the fact that you do have different sexual views than her, shes no real friend. make sure to tell her how she's making you feel, even if it makes you feel very vulnerable. if she still doesnt accept it, dont waste your time on her anymore. good luck!
shake answered Thursday February 17 2005, 10:50 pm: You've already been honest with her once, be honest again and tell her you dont like how shes acting now. [ shake's advice column | Ask shake A Question ]
ballerina04 answered Thursday February 17 2005, 10:25 pm: You have to talk to her. Tell her you're not a different person than you were before, she can act the exact same way around you. If she continues her behavior, maybe you need to find a new friend who accepts the person that you are. I hope I helped. Send me something if you need to. ♥ Kristen [ ballerina04's advice column | Ask ballerina04 A Question ]
angieroonie answered Thursday February 17 2005, 10:10 pm: she prolly thinks you want HER!!! reassure her that she isn't your type it's just that you needed to confide in someone and that she's your best friend so you figured she'd understand.
bAhAmAmA0250 answered Thursday February 17 2005, 10:06 pm: Well i would probably feel a little bit wierd around my friend if she just told me she was bi. You got to know thats the outcome i mean give her time to think about this sort of stuff i mean give her space after about a week just confront her and let her know that you wouldnt ever ever like her like that that would be to wierd cuz u guys r like best friends-trix [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]
Karen answered Thursday February 17 2005, 10:05 pm: Your friend shouldn't treat you like that. Just because you are bisexual, it doesn't mean you have changed completely. You need to talk to her and tell her that she needs to act the same as she did, before you told her that you were bisexual. Just talk to her and tell her how you feel about the way she treats you. Hope I helped :)

lildiamyn_69 answered Thursday February 17 2005, 9:59 pm: She might not know how to take the news. Some people just don't feel right around people like this because of what they see and hear about them.
Tell her that you feel unwanted, and you know she's not doing it on purpose. Ask her to tell you how she really feels about this, because she may not want to hang with you anymore. A good friend will like you for who you are, but she may just be adjusting from shock or something, so give it some time before you question her. Hope everything works out!
