Hi, I was hoping that somebody could help me figure out what to do, before I do something unbelievable stupid.
2 weeks ago I was at my best friend's birthday party nothing big just ten of her closest friends (this also happened to be the first party where everybody knew I was bi). I had met a few of them before but the only one I had really talked with before was Em, I had recently found out that Em too was bi, which I found really exiting and a bid surprising. But anyway me and Em talked most of the night and flirted quite a bid too (which was also really exiting cause I had never really flirted with anyone before, let alone a girl). Nothing else happened and In a drunken conversation with my best friend after Em left I think I asked if she was alright with it and I think she answered that she was okay with us flirting that night but she didn't think I should pursue it because we are bound to see each other again which is would be extremely awkward if it didn't work out.
As clever as I am on the back to my boarding school/college the day after a texted her and we haven't really stopped since, mind me it has been innocent and mainly just joking around and stuff, but we are sort of going on a date the Thursday after next.
My problem is that I really like Em, she is so funny and beautiful, but also don't wanna screw up my relationship with my best friend. I think me and Em could become something lasting but it might also just have been the booze. I don't know... Also I haven't talked to my best friend about this and it's killing me cause she is normally the one I go to.

My advice to you is that you follow your heart.
I know this sounds cliche, but it is true. There have been so many times in my life where I had a really hard decision I had to make, and every time I went with my heart it has turned out to be the right thing to do, and when I have went with my head it always ended in heartache. So with that being said, only your heart knows what is truly right for you. If pursuing Em is the way to know then you will know without a doubt! I hope this helps a little! I can not tell you "This is what you should do!" All I can do is provide advice from lessons learned through out life! ~Matt

Thank you Matt for your advise it truly helped I followed my heart and it has been truly amazing. So much has happened since Christmas, I don't even know where to start. Em is my girlfriend now and she might be the single most awesome person I've ever met. But that's not all I'm now completely out, out of that awful metaphorical closet. I told my parents just after (more or less) I said goodby to Em at the train station. They took it well... My dad's only comment was "okay" which was better than how my mom thought he would react (I had a hunch that he knew). She was fine with it too, said she didn't know I liked girls, I told her I didn't and that I like people, all kinds of people. This was all just before New Years and at this point Em and my parents, and a few of our closest friends knew which might be like 10 people or so. Then last weekend, we decided we wanted to tell the world and became "Facebook official" (yes I'm sad to say that is a thing in Denmark) and now everybody knows (more or less). It's an ought feeling knowing that people know. I'm a bid nervous about meeting my dad's side of the family again after this but I know (or at least believe) that I have my cousins on my side so it should be alright. Besides people in Denmark aren't generally that judgmental. Yeah, so a lot have happened since the last time I was in here, I've already accomplished my one New Years resolution which was to show/tell people who I am aka come out -Regitze
