One of my very close friends recently moved down to palm beach, Florida. And introduced me to a very nice boy named nathan. Im 15 and hes 14. I wanna go visit him because i have yet to meet him in person. I just want some advice because i havent come out yet to my parents and i wanna see if my mom would be willing to fly down there with me to meet his entire family. basically, how should i come out to my parents? And how should i let them know that i have a biyfriend in lorida and i want you to meet his family?Im 15 and need some relationship advice (gay)?
This is tough, because a long-distance relationship involves big expense for traveling and such.
Depending on your family's affluence, you may need to be really patient on this one, unless you go down to visit your very close friend (who I presume lives close to Nathan?).
Hmm. Do you communicate with him by webcam? Could you introduce your mom to Nathan that way? If she sees him and chats with him, perhaps she will come to like the boy.
But meanwhile, about the coming out.
-- Are your parents homophobic, or gay-friendly? Do they know or approve or speak well of any other gay or lesbian folk? If they are gay-positive, you may be able to come out to them pretty well.
-- But if they are homophobic and you value your emotional stability, don't come out until you are older. Since you are still young, if they are homophobic, they could insist that you see an ';ex-gay'; counselor or nonsense like that.
-- Realize that, since you are only 15, your parents might think you are ';too young to know for sure'; whether you are gay, or they might be worried that you are making an awful mistake. I remember being 15 and liking guys, but they may or may not be ready for that concept.
-- Realize also that Nathan's parents may or may not be accepting of him having a boyfriend. There are so many possible complications to this relationship. You'd want to make sure his parents were cool with him being gay, and with you as an online bf.
Personally, if I were you, I would only come out if I knew they were gay-friendly and supportive.
Meanwhile, if Nathan lives nearby your close friend in Florida, find a way to visit your close friend and see Nathan that way. And you might introduce Nathan to your mom via webcam....
...but then again if you do that, she will likely pay attention to how much time you are chatting with Nathan.
As it is, you likely have private time to webcam and chat with Nathan. You can't be with him in the flesh, but you keep in contact.
If you come out, that may change, depending on your parents' beliefs and reactions.
Just...be cautious.
If your love for Nathan is real and lasting, it will endure for several months. Though it is hard to wait, I would wait for those months, or a year or more, and then come out *if* you know it is safe. Meanwhile, if you can make it down to see your friend and Nathan, cool.Im 15 and need some relationship advice (gay)?
your moving a little too quiclky dude
go slowly..... come out to your parents first!!! worry about the boyfriend second/later.
1) come out to them in your own way (leave hints,sit them down and talk to them, write a note/letter) they are your parents after all and you will know which way of ';coming out'; will make both them and you the most comfortable. their is no one way to go about it
2) wait on telling them you have a boyfriend it will take them sometime to get used to the idea of you being gay in the first place but having a boyfriend as well,one that you did not tell them about, might be a little to much information all at once.
3) work from their
good luck :)
I agree with Mixed Boy, Anthony, Alphie and Peter.
I wouldn't know. I never have and never will come out to my parents. If u want to, then just tell them separately...and tell the strongest one first (mentally). If u tell them at the same time, they will reinforce the other to panic and be depressed.
i agree with mixedboy and with Anthony......LOL
i totally agree.. you are moving way to quickly.. if i were you, i would first come out to my parents.. i don't really know an easy way to do this but..that's the first step. and wouldn't you think your friend's parents find it weird that an older boy wants to have a relationship with their younger son..? idk... my opinion. but give it time.. you will know when your ready! :]
I agree with mixedboy.
Edit:: Lol this has turned into one big Agreeing party.
