Title: I tell a friend and went ok. I think
Post by: Kalex on May 18, 2015, 06:14:09 PM
First, sorry for my english, is a mix of me and google translate with the verbs.

Well, I tried to come out yesterday and I think it went well?

It was awful. The story went something like this: I have my fan blog and my "other blog"  (a.k.a, the trans blog) A friend of mine knew about me having a second tumblr but he didnt know about what.
I wrote her a mail, because I'd probably pass out if I do it in person, and told almost nothing. I put the link to the blog and said basically "google it". I know, it wasnt my best move. 

She answered me but I panicked and didnt read it. I ignore here 24 hours and finally I was a little brave and read the freaking mail. I wasnt what I expected, less question I've imagined.
The point is, she told me that it didnt surpised her. Was a relief.

Im still not talking to her, I dont know what to say, but hey! first step, I think.

:D

Well she replied to you, so that's a good sign. She wasn't dismissive or disbelieving so that's even better. You should get back to her, don't leave her thinking she's done something wrong.

Sounds like it went well. An e-mail to her would be a good 2nd move.

We just said hi and good night. Was...awkward.  For me al least. Dont know if I have to bring up the subjet? Let her talk? Run away and dont stop until Alaska? Alaska sounds good.  :-\

Definitely a good first step! If she says she isn't surprised by it, it sounds to me as though she's pretty accepting. It can be daunting, but maybe you should talk to her again!
