What to do

[SElondon87]

This is probably similar to so many problems on here, but i'll go with it anyway, even if it just provides a chance for me to get my ideas together!

So i'm out, very partially, as in one of my best mates knows, and some uni friends also know, but to a large proportion of my friends i'm still not out. I feel the time is right to tell them, in the sense i'm seeing someone who i'd like them to meet and feel like a bit of a fraud around them. However I have a predominently male group of friends, we're all into football, going down the pub, all typically "straight" things, and some of the conversations, particularly their views on gay guys have put me off.

I feel its a side of my life i'd like to share, but its not something that defines me and shouldn't (and wont) change me as a person, i'm just afraid they wont see it like that. I never have or ever will do fancy any of my mates, and am the type of person to keep my love life private, so it shouldn't change anything. I like things the way they are a lot, but I cant really keep up their presumption that i'm straight.

So do I tell them and ignore the risks, or just leave it for a while hoping they find out? Bloody brain, thinking over things too much
