Told my friend, unbelievably, pleasant surprise.

So, I very recently come to terms with my feminine side and it's been quite an uncomfortable knot in my stomach I needed to get more comfortable with so I considered telling my friend (a girl) who always struck me as open minded. We've been close friends for years so she kind of sensed something was up and called me. I took a deep breath and told her my desires. She told me she supported me and even said she wanted to help. She was so happy I opened up to her like that she then revealed her feelings towards me and told me she still thinks I'm an amazing person and we decided after years of friendship we think we should just start dating. She's in California for college for a while at the moment which sucks but as she said in her words "about time we hook up dummy." It almost brought a tear to my eye knowing after revealing something like this she accepts it and has deeply cared for me for a long time. I just thought I'd share this because I'm happier than I've been in a while.

Wow girl you are so lucky! Sure hope things work out for the two of you!

Hi Pika,
What a wonderful post you shared with us. I am very happy for you both and wish you my very best. Now how about getting on that plane and taking your lovely girlfriend out for a dinner (bring roses), and then taking her up on her invitation to 'hook up'! Good luck to you both.

I'd say you have found one special lady! Best of luck to both of you, and may you both find much happiness together.

We need more happy posts like this. I hope this turns in to happily ever after for you.

I hope it develops into a rock solid relationship and you can claw back some of the missed times of the past.

It has been my experience that you don't find love when looking for it. It seems to find you when you don't expect it. What a nice turn of events.

My best wishes for happy times together

Wow-Thanks for sharing some good news. Talk about a "Happy Thanksgiving" !!

Congrats! Glad you are happy :)

This is like the most awesome story ever! Im so happy for you!

Follow through for certain. She seems a perfect match!

Great post, you are a lucky person, hope it works out for you both!

real cool 1st person i came out to was a lady friend also she helped me so much and gave so much confidence now i live my life as i want not as other ppl want me 2 live it

Always warms my heart to read stories like this. :) Good for both you and her!

What a great story! We should all have gg friends who understand us!

I was fortunate enough to have a friend like that. In my case I met her at work many years ago. She let me know right up front that she was a lesbian and wasn't interested in anything 'romantic'. It wasn't until a few years later that I came out to her and she was so supportive. There have been more than a few times over the years when we've gone out "on a date". She helped me become more comfortable with myself and with my dressing. If it wasn't for her I never would have let the woman within come to the surface.

Yes a great story.

I need to find a girl like her.

That is a pretty awesome story!

Wow, Miss Pika, and I thought I was lucky! You, dear lady, may have just hit what we call "the grand and glorious jackpot." I so hope that it does work out between you two, and you wind up with that rare gift, an understanding, accepting, and supportive SO. :)
