How can I get my friends to come over?

[Eva]

1. Be secure with your own sexuality before attempting to explain to others how you feel. If you are struggling with your feelings, make sure you are emotionally ready to speak to others.
2. Choose a time when your closest friends can be around you for support. It may be easier to speak to a very close friend first, before approaching others.
3. Share with your friends your true feelings, and explain to them that your choice to come out does not affect your friendship with them.
4. Listen to questions from your friends and be prepared for a range of emotions on their part. Reassure your friends that you still care about them, no matter what they think at the time.
5. Be open to further questions or needs from your friends, as some of them will take longer to come to terms with your sexuality than others. Some of them may never share the same relationship with you after you come out.
