I am gay and I want to tell my whole family just to get it off my chest but I don't know how they will react. I think the best time to tell your friend is when you are ready. It could really hurt you if he has a different view.

I think you should tell him, he will be much happier that you told him, instead of finding out later on and wondering why you didn't tell him(your friend) that you are bi.

If he truly is a friend, he will stick by you, and don't worry being gay/bi is more common and socially acceptable these days, I'm sure he will be fine with it.

Maybe find out his views on gays/bis, see how he will react, before you tell him. But tell him, be truthful to him and yourself.

good luck.

I like the idea of breaking it to him gradually.

That's a good idea. So, do that, and, just because you tell him doesn't mean you have to like.. date him or something. If he's your friend, it shouldn't matter what your orientation is. Friends should be friends despite gender, race, religion, or sexuality.

If he hates you because of it, that's his problem. He's losing out on the good friend.

You know, I think that the best thing for you to do is to break it to him gently and gradually. But get a feeling for how he views gays and bisexuals before deciding whether to tell him or not.

For you to tell somebody that you like them, is a incredibly brave step, especially if it's of the same sex and I commend you for it. It's good that you know where telling him that you're bi will take you only as far as friendship. That's good. I say this because most people who tell somebody that they love/have feelings for them expect those feelings to be returned and again, I commend you for that.

I hope all goes well,
triquetra

I probably wouldn't start off the converstation about how he feels about same sex relationships, because if he says something negative about them, you will not want to say anything about yourself.

Just tell him face to face, and try not to make a big deal about it. Tell him you don't want him to take it the wrong way, but that you are into guys. Not him, just guys in general. Be prepared though, this may change your relationship in a negative way, and you must be prepared for that.
