What should come first? Dating or Coming Out?
Hey, I've known I was gay for a while and I think I might be able to come out soon. Anyways, there’s this really cute guy in my social Studies class who is openly gay and I really like him. Would it be wrong for me to start dating before I've told my parents I'm gay? And would it be unfair to the guy to not be openly gay when he is?

Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
Well, it sounds to me like this would be a time for both. Be open because it is certainly unfair to the guy if you aren't. Be open about it as well so your parents find out from you, not from someone who saw you with another guy. How are your parents likely to react if you tell them? If it is not good, well, imagine how they will react if someone else tells them. It will be worse. Then they will be upset and feel like they can't trust you. So, come out and live your life the way you want to. It is better, and ultimately easier, than hiding who you are.
