Courfeyrac Doesn't Need Your Stinking Participle (the_centre) wrote in valarnet,
I guess your friend would know if this was something that he started to prefer over women that he was gay. In my case? I tend to like both equally, which puts me in the bi camp and I just happened to fall in love with an amazing boy. Your friend might need to do some searching, ask yours himself some questions about this and how he really felt fooling around, but I don't think one experience tells you something either way unless you really, really hated it.
That said, I get it's hard to admit to liking anybody from the same gender at all. I knew I did since I was like thirteen but I let myself pretend to be straight so I could convince myself and make people care about me, but it didn't work and I still dealt with their shit for years. I get the pressure your friend might be under and it's hard. But it's so much better when you're able to be who you are, once you've figured that out. That's the kind of thing I'd say to the friend.
