Guilt

Ok I have to get this off my chest even if it makes me sound kind of horrible. So I have known I am gay for years now, but I was never really sure if I could rule out being bi. Then a few months ago one of my good friends (a guy)who is on my team asked me out and I said yes just to try it out. The thing is after we went on the first date I knew there was no way I could like guys, but I just kept saying yes because I didn't want to be mean. soon he was telling everyone that I was his girlfriend and I hated it, so I finally ended it. He really really liked me and I feel so horrible for doing that to him, especially for leading him on. He seemed really upset. What's more I think a main reason I first agreed to it was because there is hardly anyone out at our school, so I was desperate for a relationship. I just let it get out of control. We are slowly regaining our friendship, but I can't forgive myself for that. I feel like I don't deserve any kind of relationship for a while :( to make things worse my mom knew something was wrong and I ended up coming out to her. I feel like I wasn't ready at all and she has completely ignored the fact ever since. sorry for ranting about this. I know people have a lot bigger problems, but I just had to tell some one that.

You're lucky you don't have

You're lucky you don't have 'big' problems, if that's what you could call it, but I'd still call this big. Loosing a friend is hard, and you may never regain what you had.
Also, the fact that your Mum is ignoring that is hard too. Sometimes you just need to talk about it. I think it may have just been a bit of a shock for her, so suddenly, and maybe she just needs to think about it, gain her thoughts.

All the best xxxx

Your problems are important!

Your problems are important! Just because someone has slightly different problems doesn't make yours any less.
I honestly know what you mean...I've led guys on like that before, and honestly hun, it DOES NOT make you a bad person. It's confusing and it's alluring trying to make yourself something you're not. You can't beat yourself up about it. I have currently two guys who want me...and yea..i led one of them on considerably...but it was just out of confusion. You have to move on and see it as a learning experience.
