Hi. I'm Diane. I'm 21, a lesbian.
Good job on the thread! I'll definitely try to stop by and see if I can help keep it going.
As to coming to terms with your sexuality, I was 19 when I finally went "You know you like girls. You're going to have to deal with it sometime. Do it now!" so I did. Thinking back, I had been having gay thoughts since I was about 12, and putting myself in the role of "the one who gets the girl" in my little fantasy make-believe games since I was really young. But I had a long period of denial because I was comfortable with homosexuality in others, but in myself. It's hardest to accept it when you're the one who has to deal with any discrimination etc from it.
I then came out to my close friends (most of whom are/were not-straight) within a month of coming out to myself, and to my parents within six months.
I now have a girlfriend who I am very happy with (been together for 6 months) and my family knows and likes her. So I guess my "coming out" story has a happy ending.

Hi, Diane! Welcome to the thread. <3 Your story's really cool; I'm pretty jealous. How'd you meet your girlfriend?
We went to college together. We were close friends (and cuddle buddies, but it was quite platonic for a while...) for about a year before either of us started having any romantic feelings towards the other. Apparently our friend group all knew she had a crush on me and were all plotting to help get us together. It worked.
Aww, that's so cute! <3 I think my heart just squee'd a little.
teehee. Thanks. It was/is pretty ridiculously cute. She's pretty much one of the most adorable people I've ever met (all children who are cute due to their being children are discounted from this) and I suspect I'm more adorable around her. Definitely adoring.
Now you've got me all smiley thinking about her. whee
Hehe, I was all smiley for a few moments, too. :3 I'm jealous, gotta say.
@ Bellsie-Ellsie: Hey, that's cool. As long as you're happy, yanno?
