- I've only really tried the direct approach. One I wrote in a letter <he's
- in California> and said "I'm bisexual." and then asked him a bunch of
- questions about how he felt aobut it and how he thought that our friends
- would react - that was the "Andy letter" I posted last year. Another one I
- asked "What would you say if I told you I was bisexual?" She said she'd
- ask questions and didn't want me to hit on her <she was joking>, but since
- I have a habit of asking oddball questions, she thought I was joking. My
- best friend I set up a time to go shopping and talk and told him outright.
- All three worked great for me. Since I haven't had any negative comments
- yet, I don't know what to say *might not* be good.
-
- Good luck, and congrats on finding the courage to do it.
