Anonymous asked: I've found myself attracted to girls for awhile now but I'm not sure if I should act on this attraction. I've never had a boyfriend or a girlfriend before and I just don't really know what to do. I mean, I don't know how I would even go about asking a girl out and I'm so afraid that I'll be judged by my friends/family (not that they're homophobic or anything, because they certainly aren't)

This is honestly going to be a little bit tough for me to answer. I don’t see a problem with acting on your attraction to woman what so ever. I’m  bi-sexual, but for some reason I’m drawn more to girls than I am guys. It took me months before I told my girlfriend that I liked her, etc. Just because you haven’t dated a man or woman, doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try. There are plenty of people out there who are just like you wondering the same thing. Don’t ever be afraid to get shut down. Don’t be afraid to open up and admit how  you feel. As far as asking a girl out.. If a girl starts to show interest in you, then swoop in and ask, “hi. i was wondering if you would like to go out sometime?” and see what goes from there. You never know what’s going to happen unless you try. Now as for the being judged by your family thing.. I’m not very good with that. I was judged quite hard by my family only because I’ve grown up in a christian home surrounded by the things that tell me not to be gay. That still shouldn’t stop you. I’m in the process of possibly asking my girlfriend to marry me. I don’t care if I am judged by others around me. As long as I am happy, that’s all that matters to me, and that’s all that should matter to you. Your happiness should always come first.
