Sorry for the late update today! I was doing homework do for tomorrow and I read this webcomic Closet Coon that zearfox refered me to in my journal. It was a very cute comic >w<
So today didn't go exactly as I did planned. But it was still a very good day! ^^ During lunch time, I asked Apple if he wanted to hang out after school and go to Jamba Juice which was near our school. He said yes! X3 So then after school, he changed his mind and wanted to go to Starbucks instead so he could spend his gift card that he got for Christmas. And we went. I got a strawberry creme Frappuccino drink and that was always very good. ^^ Apple just got hot chocolate.
So then afterwards, we went to burger king because he was hungry and we had some cheap whopper jrs. Then after that, we just walked back to school. The whole time, I had 'cold feet' and I didnt try to come out to him. ><;; When we were in the parking lot, I saw his car and I didnt want this whole moment to go to waste and come back to you and say I didn't do it! u__u So I forced myself and just told him, "umm I have something to tell you" After saying this, I knew I couldn't go backwards. I was so nervous! He asked me "what is it?" and I told him that I was gay. I could feel myself turning red! ><;; I was so relieved afterward when he said "Really? That's great!" and he rubbed my head. I was deciding whether I should tell him that I liked him next, but I remembered many of you to telling me to take it slowly. So I didn't say it, but I was thinking it! ^^ I feel so relieved now that it is out and that he is perfectly fine with it! He took it a lot better than I was hoping for! Then we got into his car and he dropped me off at home. On the ride home, he was asking me questions about my gayness like "did I decide to?" "when did I know" and he even urged me to tell him about my crushes!!! >o<;;;; (I didn't of course)
So I want to say THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! for all the support and the advice that you have all given me! ^w^!!! I really appreciate it! Valentines day is coming up soon and I hope that I can do something! Maybe I should tell him about my crush for him then? >.<;;;

That's great to hear that he was so accepting about it, and even better that he was asking questions about your sexuality rather than poking fun or getting disgusted. He sounds like a really great friend to have. :)
Like others have said, take it slow. I didn't admit any crushes to my straight friends until several years after coming out, and by then they were already used to me being gay. I'm not sure how they would've taken it if I said anything sooner!
Don't get caught up in all the hype surrounding Valentine's Day unless you're absolutely sure that it's something you want to do. There's a lot of things you need to think about before taking it a step further like that. Coming out is one thing, admitting a crush on someone is completely different. How do you think he'll react? Will there be other people around? Is your friendship strong enough to withstand any possible troubles that may result? Would admitting this cause him to feel paranoid when alone around you? etc... etc...
I'm not trying to tell you what to do, so I apologize if I come off like that, and I don't mean to make any assumptions about your friends. But there's a lot to think about if you decide to tell him something like that.
I apologize if any of this advice is unwanted. ^^;

You know the more you post, the more I think you're becoming on of my favourite artists. The way you post things, and write in the comments experiences that go with the pic, I love it! Now that my praising of you is out of the way, It's great that you managed to come out to Apple, coming out is hard work, and I'd imagine it's even harder when you're doing it to a guy you have a crush on. Good job buddy
That's great!! I'm glad everything worked out all right (even though it didn't go according to your plan.) Friends like yours are very difficult to come by nowadays. Not a lot of people are very..."accepting" about that now for some strange reason. Anyway, be sure you never lose touch with your friends later on in life. Friends that accept you for who you are, are true friends. Just be sure you tell him before Valentine's Day!
Okay, step 1's done very well like you did, you needed to take things slowly. But from here, I guess that he's interested into knowing your further, he's a bit oblivious about your feeling.
At least, he becomes your friend, though he might be a cool-straight-guy all along.

it's okay if sometimes you share your personal story about HIM, since you have share yours.(Seriously, i want to know HIS story. We know him VERY little) In case he's the cool-straight-guy, welcome to the friend zone that you cannot go advance... and more or less, you have to bury that feeling and focus on someone else.
I know that's a bitter taste, but if he doesn't show that he could be your crush (unless he's that comically dense -_-; ), that it could be that he is NOT gay, and therefore, doesn't have the feeling to you like you do have to him. (I dunno if i should pray him to be "bi". I have a problem with that)
I don't wanna sound like a pessimist, but try to look for someone else. He seems to not feel that you could be possibly liking him, meaning he sees you none other than a close-friend.

Whatever you do, don't try to go the dramatic approach by saying "well, what if I said that I had a crush on you?" That idea never works right. XD
This is said through experience. Back when I was insecure about being bisexual and I had a crush on my best friend, I asked him that in play. He didn't really take it well. Eventually, I told him that I had feelings for him around the same time I found out why I did in the first place (he was leaving the city for college while I was staying in-city for college and I was afraid I wasn't going to meet another friend like him, thus making me feel more attached to him). It may not work for you though, but being straight-forward can be a good thing sometimes.
Either way, this tiger here is proud of you! ^^ *hugs you*

I think he already figured out you're gay, just waiting for you to tell it out yourself.
And why didn't you tell him after that? You could just laugh it off if he was actually straight >_> and he'll actually know your true feelings if he was indeed bi/gay. Anyways, there's always a next time.
Hope this is the start of something better in your life! :3

*cough cough*... I normally don't do this...cause I actually have to put effort into it rather than it coming naturally...so....
*oils wrists*... *breathes*...
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEeeeee~~! <3
OMG~~! I can't believe he was so ok with it! Fifty~ You're amazing! *flails*
Hahah, I wonder how you currently look at yourself now, compared to when you first started here... From your posts, it seems like you joined FA as a place to vent, meet fellow furries with similiar problems, and make a support network. And look at you now! Coming out is never easy (from my experience), but you braced yourself, collected your thoughts and went with it! Gunner....The Alliance, and now Apple~! I'm very sure that a whole bunch of watchers let out a sigh of relief when they saw this submission. Man that guy must be an awesome friend. I could keep going but...yeah, I think I summed it up. *flails some more*

That's awesome. He sounds like a really nice guy. Too bad most guys around where I live are total jerks. >.<
anyhow.. He may be fine with you being gay, but... Having a crush on him, not so much. However, by how you make him out to be, I'm sure if he wasn't interested, he'd let you know and wouldn't totally flip out or anything. It would just be a bit.. Awkward.

Oh, that was so adorable. You finally did it ^^ You know, when someone doesn't freak out and go 'whoa, really?' and says "That's great" or "awesome" that's a very good sign.
I know when my friend I had a crush on (guy) told me he was bi I was like "cool"but I was containing this voice screaming "YESYESYESYESYESYES!!!" in my head.
He might not be, but hope for the best, Fifty.We're all rooting for ya! Step one's complete, next is step two

no :( he came to the party with his 1500th new girlfriend. Longest they seem to last is a few months. We fooled around one night but he refused to talk to me for a while after that >.< We are good friends again though.I I'll try to tell him next chance I get. I enjoy every second with that fool. idk :/......I really like this piece! lol
Haha it seems you have a lot of supporters on here *climbs out from under the piles of comments on this pic*
I'm so glad to hear that everything went well coming out to Apple. I'd been having a stressful day, but when I read this it just made me so happy for you that none of it mattered anymore. I am sincerely happy for you - I feel like it happened to me instead of you haha :) *hugs you tight*
You're one strong guy you know that? Keep being awesome and know that no matter what you do, we'll be here for ya :) <3

Being able to admit this aspect of yourself,
will make your life more fulfilling <3 (though at times, heartbreaking.. but it is those fulfilling moments that make it worthwhile)
I am proud of you (unusual thing to say, but I am )
At least you know that he is okay with the idea of you being gay, but since he asked you if you 'decided to be gay', that might imply that he is not ^ ^;; (of course, if one is gay, one does not have a choice, you just are naturally)
Who knows, he might be flattered by the fact you care a lot about him ^ ^ let us hope that happens and you guys get closer. I say, do not overwhelm him, but valentines day is a good time to do it .
Much love from a bro cat,
Psy
Peace~

Good for you Fifty! I aways knew he'd be okay with it, it was the "I like you" part I was worried about. But you did good giving him some time. Now you just need to figure out how he swings.
Wait... so this means, Blue is the only one that doesn't know? Or did you tell him yet?

I have a crush on my best friend that I think is straight and that thinks I'm straight...I wonder though, because we joke around so much (nasty jokes, calling each other out on little gay nuances and innuendos and being generally silly, saying NO U back and forth about stuff)... I love him dearly, and it wasn't until I recently started to hang with him more and more that I found I love him in more than one way. He's definitely not a furry, but yet deals with me being an anthro-lover.
I feel so horrible because it's impossible for me to come out to anyone, but yet I come out to an assistant pastor at my church... Not even my own father or my best friend knows.
At least you have someone you love that didn't blow it out of proportion because of the drama involved in it like my friend would... He LOVES drama. But I don't know if I could deal with a dramatic end to our friendship, coming out OR admitting a crush for that matter
You're ever so lucky. You draw really nice art too, I love it.

D'aaaaaaaawwwwwwww, that's so TOTALLY adorable X3 *blushes hard and hides behind the paws* I am as well touched as just laugh about the fact how cute it is :D *smiles wide and wags excited* You're a really lucky guy and I have to say that you got a really great friend there :D *gives you a warm smile and ruffles your head* I wish to have memories like that too X3 *smirks*
