Re: Best friend turned lesbian girlfriend, scared about telling her parents - August 6th 2014, 11:05 PM

Hey,

I was in a similar situation about a year and a half ago. I was already "out" to my parents, but the girl I was in love with (my now fiance) was not out to her family, friends, or anyone... except for me. I had to be really patient, and after about eight months of dating, she finally came out to her family. They're all super supportive of us, and I've never been happier.

With that said, I think you need to be patient with her. This relationship is still so new to the both of you, and it's important to take things at a steady pace. She will come out when she's ready, and you will be there with open arms for whatever outcome there is. I know it's frustrating to wait, but it'll be worth it in the end. I have no doubt that at least one of her parents will be supportive of her, which will make it easier for her to be who she is. The more support she has , the better, and vice versa.

It'll work out regardless if you two really love each other.

Feel free to PM/VM me if you need to talk.
